He's just pissy because he's not the man anymore...and that the game's passing him by.
He went on to say that because of the fight with Fitch, GSP lost his ranking as one of the top pound for pound fighters!!! And that right after saying that he left during the third round and consequently did not even see the whole match. Okay, folk, Hughes is a complete fool. He is a joke and he is going to destroy his legacy if he keeps saying irrational bs. Obviously he is jealous and cannot accept GSP's utter rise and domination. Probably JC is not giving him enough light to see clearly.
Matt needs to stick with farming... or barning, or whatever he does on his farm.
I just dont get why everyone is so upset by what he said. Its no different than what we do everyday on FF. The major exception is Hughes actually fights. Im not a Hughes fan by far. I think he normally cocky and hypocritical but this time Im ok with what he said. If he was on a sports network or was writing for a magazine then maybe I would feel different but he wrote this in his blog. Its his opinion whats the big deal

Well, I have a problem with anyone stating an opinion on something he is not informed. He sounded stupid talking about GSP's "poor performance" and then admitting that he left during the third round. His anger and envy blind him so much that he fools himself into believing that GSP did actually have a poor performance. I guess he keeps telling himself that to boost his own ego.
How can you not have a problem with that? On average people in FF are certainly better informed than he was in this occasion.
Yeah, the problem with him saying that is, as earvin pointed out, he was misinformed and coming from him it's hard to believe it's anything but envy and jealousy.
Maybe its time for Matt Hughes to retire & get into the priesthood as judging by his last few fights he has become a has been & is unable to back up his huge mouth with huge takedowns anymore.............Matt hughes is a myth now & has become a parody of his own self.
could you guys imagine him as a judge for the ufc?![]()

well you have to ask yourself if GSP dominated more in the first 2 or last 2 rounds? but I see your point. Maybe he just doesnt have a high opinion of Fitch. Matt Hughes is one of the most arrogant fighters right up there with my boy Tito. Coincidentally they were both dominant champs that game has passed by.
I dont. I think its pure arrogance. I guarantee you Matt believes he would have finished Fitch by the end of the 2nd. He believes he is that good.
wow! I just defended Matt Hughes twice in the same threadOn second thought I take it all back...He was just being that 4 letter word the Serra likes to call him all the time

MMA-math + MMA-discussion = nonsense
GSP + Hughes = 2 wins for GSP + 1 win by Matt Hughes
But, that does NOT mean that Fitch would beat Hughes.
GSP > Hughes + GSP > Fitch ≠ Fitch > Hughes
LOL. Sorry, it's not that easy.
Hughes could very well crush Fitch.
We don't know because they have never fought.
