A very good fight. Hughes brought the big takedowns in rounds 1 and 2 and totally dominated most of those rounds. Late in the 2nd, Condit got standing and just went to kick-town on Hughes, destroying him for the start of the 3rd. The 3rd started even and it all came down to who got their game goin' first, Matt Takedown or Carlos Striking. The answer was the latter, and he finished up shop thereafter.
