Remember when Matt Hughes and Georges St. Pierre were the talk of rivalry town; Hughes giving GSP a hard time on TUF, Georges tossing out the now famous “I am not impressed with your performance” bit at UFC 63. Ah, those were the days…
Well, things have changed a lot since then; GSP now stands atop the welterweight division while it remains to be seen what’s next for Hughes, following his ‘well that was quick’ loss to Penn in November. In a recent interview with Five Knuckles.com, Hughes was asked for his thoughts on GSP’s upcoming bout with Jake Shields, and the former champ predicted an easy night for his former rival.
“I think that’s gonna be a pretty easy fight,” Hughes said. “I really do. I think GSP’s going to be able to do whatever he wants. Jake’s not going to be able to get on top, so I just don’t see him being effective really anywhere. I definitely don’t think he’s going to be able to take him down, and if Shields is on his back I just don’t see him being effective. I have to really wonder why he got a title shot in the first place… but, I’ll tell you why he got a title shot is there’s no one else.”
And if you’re going to listen to someone on the topic of GSP, who better to ask than a dude that was beat down by the Canadian in their last two bouts? The legendary welterweight didn’t stop there though; he went on to say that he thinks GSP has a “pretty good chance” of beating Anderson Silva. That’s some serious respect going on. To bet on GSP vs. Shields head here.

It’s got to be tough being Georges St. Pierre right now. He’s trying to get ready to fight a guy who’s on a 15-fight winning streak, winning titles in two weight classes in three promotions along the way. And everyone is acting like the task ahead of him is so easy that he should already be thinking about his next fight.
St. Pierre just wants to put his laser-like focus on Jake Shields, whom he’ll fight at UFC 129 next month. But everyone is talking about a future fight with Anderson Silva, as if Shields is just a little diversion on the way to the superfight we all really want.
That’s true of MMA fans and media, but it also goes all the way to the top: UFC President Dana White has frequently mentioned that a St. Pierre-Silva fight could be next, and UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta told Mike Straka that GSP vs. Silva is his dream fight. It seems that everyone wants that fight — except St. Pierre himself.

UFC 129 is still two months away, but it has already obliterated North American records for ticket sales and gate.
The promotion confirmed that Toronto’s Rogers Centre was reconfigured from 42,000 to meet extra demand, yet fans snapped up tickets in record numbers. The final tally was 55,000 seats sold.
The old record for paid attendance was just set in December 2010, when 23,152 filled Montreal’s Bell Centre.

A UFC 129 sellout at the Rogers Centre in Toronto is virtually assured after fans snapped up over 40,000 tickets in the first day of pre-sales to UFC Fight Club members.
UFC Director of Canadian operations Tom Wright told MMA Fighting that within 6-7 minutes of the box office opening, more seats had been added to meet the demand, and within an hour, available tickets were down to single seats.
The number of tickets sold has already shattered the the current paid North American MMA attendance record, which was just set at UFC 124 in Montreal, when 23,152 filled the Bell Centre.
