Thread: Hughes is leaving Miletich

Hmmm, I like Hughes leaving Miletich, I don't like him going it alone. Financially it's a great idea, but training wise it's only going to hurt him. He's likely only a few fights away from retirement if he's taking this step. This basically says, "I'm done trying to improve or change any aspect of my game."

Nog to Miletich might work for him, it certainly couldn't hurt his wrestling. Personally I think he'd be better off sticking with Black House and Anderson Silva to work on his Thai boxing.

^Nice.

i agree with you there, sounds like he has said to himself he will just fight out his contract and retire to owning the gym.

for him to improve he has to bring in people that are specialized in certain areas, so for him to improve he would have to hire them seperatley and i don't know if he can support that on his own.

we will see what happens

also big nog going to MFS is a big downstep i think

Monte Cox confirmed it, Sam Caplan expounds here (note the bold text under the URL):

Five Ounces of Pain | Matt Hughes to start new gym in St. Louis

"So to clarify, FiveOuncesOfPain.com can confirm that Hughes is starting a gym in the St. Louis area but it’s still not certain whether he’s leaving MFS altogether. Also, virtually all of the conspiracy theories out there that have surfaced are false."

i heard matt is joining team serra and going to ny. lol
I hope nog stays where he's at.
