With the history that Hughes and St-Pierre have, it wouldn’t be out of the question to assume that there were some sort of animosity between the two, but listening to Hughes talk changes that opinion. The veteran obviously sees the talent held by St-Pierre and he doesn’t see him losing anytime soon.
“I think that’s gonna be a pretty easy fight,” Hughes said when asked about St-Pierre’s upcoming fight against Jake Shields. “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.”
