George St. Pierre has defeated Matt Hughes in UFC 65! Matt Hughes was undefeated in nearly 5 years! What an amazing fight!!! After nailing Matt over and over with low kicks, knocking him out once in the first round (Matt was saved by the bell), George completely dominated Matt and delivered a HUGE high kick to the head. Kyokushin at its best! Way to go George St. Pierre ("Rush")!
St. Pierre was relentless with his low kicks followed by jabs. This left Hughes puzzled at times as he tried to find an opening to try and take the fight to the ground for his ground and pound game. At the one minute mark, Hughes was on his heels with his impressive standup fight. The low kicks kept coming and eventually by accident a few got a little close for comfort to Hughes, and Hughes knelt down, although I'm sure they were close, the replay seemed to show they were not that close and it might have been a tactic to get George to stop throwing the low kicks.
George St. Pierre kept his mental focus and went right back to the legs. A Hughes takedown attempt was easily blocked, and tuned into flying knees to the head. With under 1:20 to go, St. Pierre took Matt to the floor! He landed some impressive strikes before standing and scoring with yet another knee. Hughes looked to get back into the scoring column by committing to a takedown, but St. Pierre brushed him off and finished with a right hand that dropped the champion just before the bell intervened.
Hughes seemed to start the second round with a smile of sorts, almost to say, "I'm totally fine, what else you got!". Well, with 3:45 left, St. Pierre's low kicks paid off! He had the champ thinking another low kick was coming, and instead landed a high left kick that put Hughes on the mat again and seemingly dazed! No bell would come to save the longtime champion, as George St. Pierre would become the new king of the UFC 1:25 of the second round!
I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT GEORGE IS SO HOT AND THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD FIGHT AT FIRST THOUGHT THAT MATT WAS GOING TO WIN BUT GEORGE IS PRETTY GOOD NOT THAT I"M A MATT HUGHES FAN!...HEHE
