But would you say you weren't impressed then in an interview?
A baseball team getting blown out is far less likely to make a spectacular comeback. In MMA everything can change with one punch, or one move.
Also, this is a little different, as this is Matt Hughes weight class and it is the champion and the challenger, so in addition to being kind of rude to the fighters involved, it is kind of like saying that the competition, and ultimately the sport, are not that important to him. That is a fine example to set for someone who was supposed to be an ambassador of the sport.
I think that the UFC gives their high profile fighters those good seats so they can show them supporting their fellow fighters and their organization. To leave early to "beat traffic" because you "weren't impressed"? That is kind of a slap in the face to the organization, the fighters, and the fans.
So what Hughes is saying to the fans is, I don't really care about the sport, or my weight class. Then to go on record and say it?
And that is why all personal feelings aside, I think this makes Matt look like a D-bag.
