1. St. Pierre- is that the black guy with the elbows?
If it's the same guy, he absolutely beats the shit out of people.

2. You're probably thinking of middleweight David "The Crow" Louseau
George St. Pierre is a Canadian welterweight. Ironically enough, The Crow was in his corner tonight!

5. I remember seeing St. Pierre, too- he uses the elbows as well, right?
I'm not surprised that he won at all. I'd like to see him and Louseau, though....

8. St. Pierre does use the elbows, especially last night!
Edited on Sun Nov-19-06 08:19 PM by Pushed To The Left
He floored Hughes with a head kick and then started laying in punches, followed by a series of brutal elbows that ended the fight. St. Pierre was totally dominant last night.

6. Oh- I'd also like to say that I absolutely HATE Matt Hughes.
So, good. I'm glad he got his ass kicked.

3. What a performance by St. Pierre!
High head kick, followed by a ground and pound. He would have beaten Hughes in the first round if Hughes hadn't been saved by the bell. I don't think anybody expected St. Pierre to win that quickly, especially by TKO! The heavyweight match was disappointing, even though I was impressed by how versatile Tim Sylvia was. I think Monson got frustrated early and seemed to be beaten mentally. But did you see how Monson powered out of Sylvia's attempt at the American lock? Monson is a powerhouse!

4. Dude! That is a brutal spoiler for me.
I've spent ALL freakin day avoiding any and all MMA sites. I'm literally 5 minutes away from watching it and you nail me in the DU Lounge!

You should strongly consider editing your subject heading, if it's still possible.

Man, I'm so bummed.

7. Damn,
I still need to see the matches darn it. .

You know.. I'm going to start breaking down and actually buying UFC PPVS soon..... I just know it.

Congrats to GSP.

I can't wait to see the buyrate for this PPV. . . UFC has done great PPV numbers this year.
