like he said on tuf, it's all about the little guy taking on the big guys.

Awesome post!! I have always liked BJ but didn't know all of his history (machida for example) ...He is an awesome fighter who deserves respect for what he has done (and for what he wil do imho).....I don't like Hughes because of his attitude and personality (as shown on TUF etc), but I do realize what an awesome fighter he is and respect him for that. I just want to see that smirk wiped off hughes' face by GSP, or BJ or Serra or anyone....too bad there are only a few who can. I would love to see a Hughes BJ rematch (thay are 1 - 1 right now).....I seem to remember that prior to losing to BJ, Hughes thought BJ was disresectful by moving up in weight class to challenge him (wtf??) fitting that he lost that one, if BJ didn't get injured (or gassed ) I think he could of beaten Hughes the 2nd time. Antother year or two go by and I could see them fighting again as it would be a big ppv $$ maker......

great post, by someone who actually has proof of following the sport back then.

unlike all these people who suddenly became MMA experts that followed it ever since UFC 1...

He isn't arrogant if you actually understand what he has done

Why he is so disrespected:
-Most talented fighter ever with a lack of work ethic to back it up and give him the career his talent deserves.
-Most arrogant fighter on the planet

Nice post the only thing that gives me a problem with bj is that he doesnt push himself to do enough cardio. I think if he had the cardio he woulda beat GSP & Hughes 2.
