I'd have to agree with you on this. MacDonald's stand up is horrible, he beat Leben and Herman who imo whould be in the WEC and the UFC. However the champs first fight after loosing his belt is usually against a weeker opponent if not an instant rematch. That is why Hughes is fighting Lytle aswell. I believe Lytle could KO Hughes if he can keep the fihgt standing and he is more agressive than he was against Serra.
That being said i would not be surprised at all if every favourite won his match on this card.
