how can you say that hughes is overrated. GSP did the same thing to him that matt serra did to GSP. and i dont hear people saying GSP is overrated. hughes wil destory matt serra and get HIS belt back.

Is this post for real?

Hughes is the ufc greatest champion with regards to defences and who hes beaten. People only bash him for his personality. When he gets his strap back i think he will step upto mw and fight Silva (providing he beats ace) So no way is he overated

I love Matt Hughes, because after the Sedation period, he brought excitement to WW division (Carlos really didn't get a chance to show any of his stuff!). He's definitely in the top 5 in my book, he's no Georges St. Pierre but he's been improving, and he, GSP and BJ are probably the only people that on their best night can beat all other WW's out there.

Sure he defeated some good fighters such as Newton, Trigg, Sakurai, Penn etc etc.. But during these victories would you consider Trigg that great of a fighter? It showed how dominate GSP was over him, Sakurai it was his first UFC debut, and Penn well we all can say Penn wasn't 100 percent there and GSP was a young up and comer, but proved his dominance over hughes the second time around, similar to BJ, BJ beat him the first time while moving up weight!! I can go on, but recently on the last TUF Hughes says that he doesn't see himself fighting much longer.

Do you think he might just be saying this cause he knows that the WW division is waaay stacked and he doesn't want to ruin his legacy? Knowing that talent in that divsion has him questioning him and skeptics is hughes really that great? Sure he has been put to the test and came through, but the fighters he was fighting where they at there greatest potential? Based on the last fight I see GSP beating him 9x10 BJ the same, Newton was washed up but in his prime prolly beat Hughes more than Hughes would beat him, Trigg imo isn't as good as people make him out to be.

With the WW guys now, Kosh, Fitch, Karo, a questionable Penn, GSP, My question do you people think Hughes knows! That he can't be dominate in the WW division anymore and uses the excuse I've been champion and dominated this divsion for so long I have nothing else to prove, do you guys think thats kind of a cop out to being scared that deep inside hughes knows he has know chance with that division being so stacked? Sorry Hughes Fans hes a good fighter but evolution takes it's course.

I hated the fact that for the Hughes and Gracie fight the UFC hyped up the fight as if Gracie actually had a chance. I hope they do the same with Hughes when hes like 42 to fight a guy in his prime!! I'm sure it would be the same outcome. Flame all you want Hughes fans, you know the only reason he made that statment about not fighting for much longer cause you know he knows that he cant handle the it.. Sorry Hughes but you were never that impressive to me..

STFU NOOB, never post again

wow dude i'm a huge hughes hater, but you are waaaaay off base. he is an extremely talented fighter that can overcome a weakness in striking power to find a way to win.

i'm not even a hughes fan but There is no way hughes is overrated. I don't think people understand that unlike boxing, if you loose in MMA to a guy that doesn't make him better than you. Hughes is by far the best UFC champ ever. If you don't agree just ask yourself what champ has defended their title time after time like hughes?

Matt Hughes is the most dominant UFC champ of all time....end....of....thread

I started watching BJ Penn about two years ago and he became my favorite.in my opinion if he went down to '55 he would own that division.I saw the fight in which Hughes took him out,did BJ do the same in their first fight?
