So you guys don't like Hughes because he beat BJ because \9as much as I love BJ) injured himself from beating on Hughes, thats not Matts fault? whats he supposed to do stop fighting and say "Oh sorry, BJ.. you injured yourself beating on me.. here choke me out."

@madmike yeah I was'nt saying everyone that hates him just mean the people that do cause the Penn or even Newton situation... I like him a lot as a fighter but not as a person either, but thats because other reasons... Dan Hardy showed me haha

That link Vazio posted has been posted before and it is over sensationalized dramatic ********. Yes there were some questionable things in the book but that summary is such bs its not even funny.

Matt Serra said it best.

Wait, how many times did Hugh coach on TUF? I thought he only coach twice. One of which being the 2nd TUF.

For so long, whenever someone slammed an opponent into the mat, Mike Goldberg would go, "Matt Hughes 101".  Goldberg is so predictable.
