    Default UFC 135 - The Cold Light of Day

    http://www.mmahq.com/blog/2011/09/26...-light-of-day/

    It was a gamble for the UFC to put on these bouts on a pay per view card but to put two heavyweight fights at altitude was perhaps one of the worst conceptual ideas since the Mega CD.

    It's the only fight that I can see for him at the minute to be honest.

    It's frightening to see how quick the best in the sport falter.

    Hmm, i'm not so sure Hughes has had such a rapid decline.

    Yeah, he had an awesome win over Almeida, but he's been faltering since 2006 I think. GSP head kicked the top tier out of him.

    Almeida quit not long after that fight as well.

    I honestly think GSP was the beating of him back at UFC 65.
    I remember Hughes getting body lock on him and not being able to take him down and when they broke looking visibly shocked.

    yeah, Gomi is not the same these days.

    i agree with Jay, even his wins over the credible NY BJJ squadron went against the grain of his decline. still, eeked out a few extra quid for him and looked good.

    On another note I had a nine fight sweep at UFC 135 and Ben Rothwell was the only one who lost.
    Blew me quite a few dollars.
    I think that added to my contempt towards those heavyweight fights.
