Matt Hughes vs. Georges St. Pierre:
Hughes is strong and versatile, solid on submissions but can KO also. Has almost 3x the experience.
Weaknesses: Stand up game could use improvement. Short reach.
St. Pierre: Improved since injury, well rounded, better stand up than Hughes.
Verdict: Hughes by submission (although he wants to KO him)
Tim Sylvia vs. Jeff Monson
Sylvia: Large reach advantage likes to KO and has a wonderful standing game. Ground game could use work but will be hard to take down. Needs to lose some weight.
Monson: Built solid, one of the best in the world @ submissions. Has to take the fight to the ground fast because Sylvia has surprisingly high kicks and a long reach advantage. Tall people are not always hard to take down and if it goes to the ground Sylvia's limbs should be fairly easy to get. Monson has had 3 pro boxing matches with 2 wins and one draw. This fight will not be a boxing match but it illustrates that he can take a hit.
Verdict: Sylvia will KO Monson.
P.S. want Monson to win.
