In his prime he was a monster. Had an 18 and 13 fight win streak in his career. 45 wins and of those 45 wins he beat some of the best WW fighters of ALL TIME. Defended the WW title 7 times. Out of his 45 wins he FINISHED his opponent 35 times. Handed GSP his first loss...
as much of a rival to gsp as he was, I still like the guy. Met him briefly once and he was pretty awesome, I seen a lot of my own characteristics in him. Hughes deserves his place in the HOF and deserves any fans respect.
@raff2112 Matt Hughes overrated???? I dont even know what to say to that comment. The most dominant WW champion ever. There is a difference in being overrated, and getting older and your skills start to slow down. Wait...maybe if he would have fought safe all his life like GSP, his body wouldnt be so worn down. But no...Matt Hughes goes out every appearance and tries to win, and FINISH fights..win or lose.
all is fair in love and war. That's not luck at all. the nerve of some people. Don't leave yourself vulnerable for even wild strikes. Luck? that's fuckin' ridiculous. Alves just had better timing.
@KingDavid8525 I don't think mid-western, TYPICAL white Americans are Hall of Famers. I know we're great and all, but that's still a bit of a stretch.
I walk around at 205lbs, but wrestle at 189lbs. Trust me when I tell you 4.5lbs makes a difference, especially when you're facing a guy as ripped as Alves. Not once did I ever say Alves had no skill. The guy is a formidable opponent, but he finished the fight with luck. Hughes would have survived that round if he hadn't ducked into that wild knee Alves threw.
While a fight is a fight, there are always circumstances of skill and luck.
@spearstrike211 there is no such thing as luck. alves threw that knee intending to hit hughes. and guess what he did. its called "timing your opponent." matt hughes didnt duck into a knee. thats dumb. why would anyone duck into a knee. he was shooting for a takedown and alves timed it and threw the knee. no lucky punches, no lucky kicks. no lucky submissions. guys throw strikes to hit people. they train to hit people. no luck about it. get over it.
@Antix "He was shooting for a takedown and alves timed it and threw the knee."
Exactly. Hughes ducked into the knee. Alves didn't time anything, he just threw caution to the wind, and delivered a knee. Matt got caught with a lucky shot. When someone gets caught, there are times where it was pure luck, not skill. Shit happens.
You're telling me to "get over it" as if I'm bitching about Hughes losing. I could care less who won or lost. I'm simply pointing out Alves got lucky.
this is to anyone who talked shit about matt hughes. He is one of the most respectable guys in the UFC, there is nothing douche about his he respects other fighter, until they disrespect him, thats absolutely reasonable. Matt Serra was a dick to him, Hughes wasn't a douche to Serra, Serra was a dick to Matt Hughes. He's the most respectable fighter in the UFC, now on to his fighting skills, unquestionable, the only other welterweight that can beat him is GSP, who is at his prime, He is super sng
@blazen2000208 yeah when hes over weight, he shouldnt have even fought for not making weight but thats a very easily overlooked point and it very well shouldnt be
@spearstrike211 What is wrong with getting beat by top 5 contenders. He cuts and needs to go to 185. Win Ricardo Almeida UFC 117 - Silva vs. Sonnen 8/7/2010 Win Renzo Gracie UFC 112 - Invincible 4/10/2010 Win Matt Serra Decision (Unanimous) UFC 98 -5/23/2009 Loss Thiago Alves TKO (Flying Knee and Punches) Loss Georges St. Pierre Submission (Armbar)
Here are hughes last couple fights. Come on can beat matt serra and renzo please. The almeida was a good fight.
@blazen2000208 When he fought GSP, he was dominated. When he fought Fitch, once again, he was dominated. Granted, his next opponent isn't a wrestler, I don't see Alves topping Doomsday Howard for one second. His performance has shot down drastically.
@moh490234890238490 Hughes won the first round. Alves hit a flying knee, that Hughes RAN INTO. Hughes' left knee collapsed under him after the hit and he couldn't defend properly, giving Alves the opening to finish. All circumstances of luck, not skill.
Alves weighed in 4.5lbs more than Hughes, which made a huge difference. Alves is a good fighter, but Middleweight is more along his lines, considering he has trouble making weight. It's a disadvantage for his opponents when he outweighs them.
that's Matt's response to one of the rediculous comments made by Trigg before their second fight. remember how that went? Then he said "The kid's Bi-polar"
@havok1337357 I think Serra won that fight to be honest. I also like how Serra finished Frank Trigg recently in like 50 seconds by knockout. He's been getting better lately even though he's a loud mouthed little shit. Lol
docyor coffee, you are even dumber than fatt hughes bitch! GSP has ALWAYS been netter than this redneck farmerfag, and if you dont understand this FACT, then you dont understand MMA DUFFUSFACE!
i will let you know if he ever really beats GSP again... even he knows that the first fight was a fluke and this is why he would never dream on getting into the octagon again with GSP for fea of his life....lol! p.s. enjoy your ball sucking today ;)
Your really sound like a tard bro, we all know gsp is better then hughes now, but hughes was the better fighter when he fought gsp the first time, it was no fluke there
and i gotta say the only ball sucking here is you sucking gsp's balls, we all know hes good but ur straight up on his nuts
Yeah it was a fluke he beat him fair and square with an armbar dumbass how is that a fluke GSP even admited to it Ok Matt Hguhes has beaten the best of the best and held the belt for 3 years so fuck off.
i hate how if a legendary fighter loses a couple fights at the end of his career everyone becomes a critic saying he blows hes the worst fighter. he was one of the best of all time enough said.
Very well said. Actually, when a fighter loses 2 in a row, they want him out of the league saying "he should retire" or "go to a smaller division, like the WEC".
i have respect for Matt Hughes and his accomplishments . that being said , i also think he's a fucking faggot , racist , supremacist , bully , who is way too cocky for his own good . just read his book and you'll see what i mean .
it was a typo . my point is that Hughes is a bitch and has a bad attitude and sometime very soon , someone will retire his ass for good . Im still suprised he's still here after GSP raped him . Then I was pretty sure Alves would end him , and i'll be damned if that retarded fuck still isn't here . oh well , he'll get punch drunk soon enough .
He has openly stated that the only reason he hasent retired is because he wants to fight matt serra, a guy who he truley dislikes and was supposed to fight before an injury.
He also said in his book that all the bad blood between them was just hype . If u watch TUF season 4 , they got along just fine . It wasn't until Season 6 that the trash started to fly , and even then , it was only to support the opposing coaches theme to hype out the fight .
You think Matt Hughes, and not Serra, is the douche? That's retarded; everyone says Matt Hughes is cocky but he definitely isn't, and he definitely doesn't start fights for no reason, but he'll sure as hell finish them. He's an awesome dude and I find it amazing that you could say something nasty about a guy who does so much for his community and for others that you could never even compete.
You might want to read a few things about Matt Huges, starting with his biography. Pay close attention to the part where he and his brother kick the shit out of their dad for asking them to wear bike helmets.
a bit of a douche, and how is Serra the douche? how can you say shit about Serra which im sure "does so much for his community and for others that you could never compete."
@TheGr8one1022 hughes is the most smug fighter ever...he thinks his shit dont stink...hes a dick, a taleented dick...serra on the other hand is like an old mobster bustin everyones balls...he talks shit but not to be mean but because he thinks its funny
@TheGr8one1022 He's a pretty condescending bitch at the same time. He made his entire team read the bible during training for fucks sake! Still one of the best welterweights of all time no doubt, but he's not exactly Mr.Humble.
you don't see every fan of the chicago cubs blaming lou for their misfortune....if a team sucks...they suck...regardless of who coaches them! but who...got two of his team members into the championship fight for the contract?
