“I’ve not announced my retirement, but right now it looks like I’m fully retired,” Hughes said in the interview. “The UFC still treats me well, so I can be retired. It’s just funny, when God puts you on a road, you don’t know where you are going. I have all the faith that he put me there, and I have to thank him from that.”

Was never a Hughes fan but gotta respect what he was able to accomplish in the UFC.

He was a great champion and I'll miss him.  Best of luck in all his future projects.
