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.

I agree completely, but it's obvious when someone is getting outclassed.

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.

If this was a year or two ago I would agree, but we all know Hughes isn't in this to be champion anymore. The only fight he has left is with Serra. He's not going to be fighting Fitch or GSP. While I could see why you think him leaving is coming off as a dick, I don't personally see it. Though, honestly, I am a Hughes fan and get tired of hearing people talk shit about him, so maybe I am a little blinded.

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.

I think they give him closesr seats just to get them to show up, I doubt These fighters would be there if they were seating up in the high seats. Again, unless I missed it, where did he say he wasn't impressed?

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?

Come on, now you're reaching because of you're hatred for him.


I agree Hughes comes off as a dick because he says how he feels no matter what, I guess I like that because I'm pretty much the same way. But the only bad thing he said in this blog, was that he didn't find the fight exciting and left early to beat the traffic, and he's being crucified for it?
