Hughes not impressed

[marco47]

I know what the tattoo is on Brock's chest. Its a portrait of Matt Hughes. What a dick. I never liked him and I hope Serra beats the tar out of him. I really couldn't care less if he retires on a loss. He just says shit that is unecessary.

Has he watched his own last two fights? Real impressive.

That's a fighter at the end of his career against 2 of today's top stars. You want to see impressive, look at his resume.

As soon as i saw the headline i lmao. typical statement from hughes. that said i hope the fight with serra happens in dec. so hughes can end the year, and his career on a high note. no doubt a great fighter passed his prime, who used to be able to back up all his shit talk.

I agree with all of this. Hughes is the older, cranky guy whose done what he needs to solidify his legacy and comments on these young whipper snappers. GSP said the same thing but it was all good. Hughes just made a comment, he doesn't care what anyone thinks.

And he didn't dog out GSP, he said the fight itself was boring to him. Not everyone will feel the same way. Should he have just sat there? It's just his opinion, not everyone will agree with him.

Unnecessary.

The human blanket it saying one of GSP's fights is unexciting. Did he watch his fight against Chris Lytle?????

Don't like Hughes. Haven't since the dinner scene on TUF when he was talking about teaching GSP how to defend an armbar. Funnier now in retrospect that GSP finished him that way in their 3rd fight. His mentality was further backed up when he said the same thing to Thiago Alves about teaching him how to defend a triangle, since that is what Fisher beat him with.

Another classic Hughes TUF moment was when he was doing his team a "favor" by distributing bibles to his team. I disagree with that in general but the fighters had the option to not read if they didn't want to. The best part of that was the story he had them read. I don't remember exactly but from what I do remember, it was a story where one of the characters was a queen and was depicted to be this generous, selfless character that helped people. So Matt asks, who is he in the story??? He TELLS everyone he is the queen because he helps people. Talking about fishing for compliments and recognition. How egotistical and narcisistic can you be?

I think what Matt Hughes subliminally meant that, that match was so one sided that it brought back flahsbacks of painful memories of getting demolished by GSP in figh number II & III...therefore he couldnt take it anymore, and had to leave the arena....

If anything Hughes has the same type of relationship with GSP that Chuck does with Tito minus the personal friendship BS. He's a guy that he's fought and they had a little personal trash talk.

And whether you like Tito or not, it doesn't justify people just trashing the guy.

When people say crap and dont back it up, or always say stupid things (Tito) yes you do deserve the crap you get. GSP doesnt and if he does he backs it up, same with liddell. Walking out on a fight and saying it was boring is just douchery at its best, something hughes is perfecting.
