Matt Hughes recalls streetfight between Tito Ortiz and Lee Murray in 2002

I wish someone had a video camera on!!!

If you see Lee Murray’s highlight reel..the guy is nasty striker..so under the circumstances given by Hughes..I can believe Tito got KTFO..easy by this 185’r..and I’m sure Tito didn’t want it to be known as the Ufc lhw champ at the time.

ahahahaha you’re probably right.

looks like a gud read

Is Lee Locked up?? What’s up with the rematch?

[sarcasm on] Good job Hughes, the sport needs more class stories like this to help focus public attention on the better side of our sport. [sarcasm off]

There was just an unfavorable mainstream media report with “bloodsport” in the title. We just can’t shake the image of the old-days

If Tito really got knocked out by Lee Murray… then Tito should retire. No wonder why he did not show up to fight Dana White.

did anyone read the excerpt re: big tim sylvia? Hughes treats him pretty harsh, even if it is deserved…

I wonder why Hughes doesn’t talk to Couture anymore?

WOW! That sounds exactly how I would imagine Chuck Liddell handeling the situation, just stand there and KTFO of people who try to go after him. Great story. I wish someone had a camera.

did anyone read the excerpt re: big tim sylvia? Hughes treats him pretty harsh, even if it is deserved…

Here it is:

MATT HUGHES releases his autobiography “Made in America” next month, and we’re running a series of exclusive extracts from the book all mixed martial arts fans are talking about.

In our second snippet, the UFC’s most dominant champion reveals all about his early relationship with Tim Sylvia…

“Tim Sylvia walked over to me during practice. His back was hunched a bit, like Pat’s is, but Pat I could look in the face.

“Can I talk to you a second?’ he asked.

“Sure thing.” He led me into an office and we sat down on two chairs.

“No one here’s got a problem with me except you,” he began.

“When I first started, Jens would say I’m a fat piece of s*** who’s never going to amount to anything, and he’d get me crying, but now even Jens likes me. Is there a problem?”

He was waiting for me to tell him there was a big misunderstanding or to apologise, like I wasn’t aware of what I was doing.

“Yeah, I really don’t like you,” I told him.

“Is there a reason why?”

“I don’t think you’re a team player and I don’t think you work very hard,” I said.

“How am I not a team player?”

“Remember that whole thing with that girl?” I reminded him.

He waved those ridiculously long arms of his in the air. “They weren’t even going out!”

“Yeah, but you knew that your teammate had a thing for her and you went for it anyway. But I don’t even care about that. I’m talking more about training.

“When somebody’s got a fight coming up, everybody tries to make sure the guy’s got some training partners to get ready.

“Everybody tries but you. Your first priority is always Tim, and I don’t think that’s a good attitude.”

I wasn’t angry or even annoyed. I had as much emotion as if I were talking about the contents of a fridge.

“I don’t think you work very hard either. You’re a little sore and you don’t come in.

“Jens, who’s a champion, has been sore and he comes in. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been sore.

“No one’s ever going to be 100 percent. You just suck it up and you do it, period.”

I didn’t care one way or another what he said in response — I assumed he’d get defensive or angry.

But he didn’t; he was reasonable.

“I’m actually hurt to hear you say that. I’ve been a huge fan of yours for a long time and I’ve been trying to model myself on some of your work ethics, and the way Jens works out and stuff like that, and it’s too bad you feel like this.

“There’s nothing more that I want than to be accepted by you and the rest of the guys.”

“You don’t become accepted by buying yourself a ticket to Vegas, following us around while we’re there when no one really invited you, and then crying — again — when Jens calls you out on it.”

“Is there anything I can do to be friends with you?”

“Well, right now I have enough friends and I don’t need any more friends,” I said. “Is that it? Are we done here?”

He let out a deep breath. “Yeah, I guess.”

“Good.” I got up and left.

Did St. Hughes really use (gasp) the F-word?

Mania, are you saying that you don’t believe the story? Because if you are I’m with you because the story seems to change each time.

Here it is:

.

What a loser(Tim)..and what an asshole(Matt)..wow is this what Pat Militech’s camp is really about. There must have some serious inner haters in there.

Also, Mcfredies’ mum was found dead in an alley. RIP.

Tito is a Puss, he couldn’t lay and pray in a street fight and he got knocked out. But him and Chuck were buddies back then so I wonder if he got a hold of Lee Murray.

This senario reminds me of when Riche Hightower pulled the coaches of team Hughes aside to talk about practice and cornering..I sure Hughes had the same look on his face when Tim was trying to be buddy buddy.

Damn Tim..This above statement makes him look like a herb.. " Can we be friends?? " Grow some guts and balls..and get off of Hughes nutstrap.

Also, Mcfredies’ mum was found dead in an alley. source is from UFCdaily. RIP

What!!!! RIP

Mania, are you saying that you don’t believe the story? Because if you are I’m with you because the story seems to change each time.

I’m saying everyone there seemed wasted, and not surprisingly, there are so many different versions. Tito said he got jumped while he was in “dress shoes.”

Classic.

For all I know Miletich’s story is the most accurate … he certainly would have no real reason to lie. Seemed like a huge misunderstanding.

But again, who knows.

Damn that must of been the best brawl…It said The iceman was ko’ing people with his back against the wall?..is that what it said…?..F’king best MMA fighter brawl i heard of…

man fuck hughes i hope gsp kicks his ass then i wish tito would punch him in the face for no reason

I already have the book read it in two days. It was a really good book. Better than I thought it would be. Tim Sylvia is a BABY, but I already knew that when was fighting and losing to Randy Couture and Hughes had to tell him he was unstoppable. Hilarious.

Damn, Hughes is a heartless SOB.

I just received the book in the mail on Wednesday, the day after Christmas. His website has some sort of presale, and the first 300 copies were autographed. I asked for it to be personalized for my wife, and he ACTUALLY DID IT! I really wasn’t expecting to see her name there. She’s happy that he wrote her name and has his autograph, but she immediately handed the book over to me and said “Have fun”. I have not begun reading it yet, but I will soon.

lmhw24, did you get an autographed copy as well?

Hasn’t this book been out for awhile? I know I saw it on amazon a week ago and I have my copy that I got from matt hughes website signed. I didn’t know it wasn’t publically available yet.

I’m still laughing at the fact that I bought it for her for Chirstmas, LOL

What year was this Syliva vs Hughes drama going on. I saw both of them here in Hawaii right after UFC 46 (2004) when Hughes lost to BJ. Looks like they were vacationing together and seem to be getting along like BFF. I actually saw them at Sandy Beach bodysurfing and having a blast. Was a little worried that they were going to break there necks but I don’t think Hughes thick neck can be broken.

I am going to call BULLSHIT on that story.

The truth is that Tito did miss his first punch and grazed Murray on his second, which was followed by Murray throwing 4-5 punches that looked no better than Edward Norton in fight club when he was fighting himself in that one parking lot (drunk f*ck).

Tito then proceeded to hit him with a right-left-right, knocking Murray down to his knees and said, “Suck my dick, b*tch!” and then landed a slashing elbow that finished Murray and left him KTFO in the alley.

UFC light heavyweight Andrew McFedries’ mother, Agnes McFedries-Kennedy was found dead in an alley in Davenport, Iowa on Saturday evening. Though police are not commenting on the exact cause of death, an autopsy has revealed that she was a victim of a homicide. She died at 51.

R.I.P Agnes. I hope they find and punish who committed this crime.

Bullshit. Here is the real story. Murray came at Tito with a fire axe but missed. They grappled for the axe and began trading headbutts, after Tito used his big head 3-4 times Murray went down. Then Tito jackknife power bombed him into a dumpster. After that he beat up everyone else in the alley then went and had a beer and screwed Chuck’s old lady.

That’s what I heard.

It’s true that the details seem to change with every telling I hear—when I heard Pat Miletich tell it, he said it was himself who was getting choked. However, the one detail that seems to remain consistent is that Tito got knocked out cold and then had his melon stopped on.

You could write a book called “from the mind of a simpleton”.

Opps, I should have read it closer. I didn’t realize that it WAS Pat retelling the story to Hughes.

“I looked over and Chuck Liddell was with his back against the wall, knocking people out that were trying to go after him.”
Spare the women and children Chuck, they are fans!!! Cease kill!

apparently militechs version off it is that “Lee lit him up like a christmas tree, and kicked his head like a football”

Liddell would probably be the best drunken streetfighter of all time…so awesome

I don’t know if this story is true, but Tito getting knocked out makes me happy. Fiction or not.

daaamn, did lee hurt his foot when he stomped on tito’s melon?

I was there that night and saw the whole thing go down. The truth is that Tito and Lee were both so drunk that they were wildly swinging but not coming close to hitting each other. Chuck was against the wall shoving dudes around and still somehow managing to grope two chicks with his one free hand. Pat Miletich was doing plyometric exercises to confuse and intimidate Tito’s and Lee’s entourages. Then out of nowhere Marlon Sims ran in and threw a super-mega tornado punch that knocked everyone out at once. Then he chugged a bottle of Cuervo while nailing both of Chuck’s chicks at the same time before calling it a night.

That’s the best version I have ever heard.

hard to beleive because it s too biased.
Hughes ’s buddies acted like men, while the rest acted like chicks.It looks shaddy and they were all comming from the party so with the beverages it s difficult to know the real truth.
Hughe should focus on his upcoming fight instead of talking trash and try to regain credits on his real capacities.

Chuck loves him some women, I know that. I believe this version. Thanks cutting through this drunken BS story :)

That’s the best version I have ever heard.

I have to agree. I still cannot stop laughing, especially the part about Chucks groping, Pat’s Plyos, and Marlon Sims was the clear knockout for me. HILARIOUS!

To me Chuck’s groping/Pat’s Ploys had me LMAO!!! I could see it.

dodgy – it didnt link the vid of murray i posted!!

I cant beleive Hughes would right a book and include a personal conversation like that about a former teamate and former ufc HW champ tim sylvia making him look like an ass to everyone. It doesnt matter if they are close or they dislike eachother that is totally disrespectfull and hillarious but still that shows hughs has no class, what about his high morals he trys to project that he has.

Anyone that doesn’t know who Lee Murray REALLY is should read the following (Note: Everything is backed up by newspaper articles).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Murray

Highlights include:

“Murray was hospitalized after being stabbed in a brawl outside the Funky Buddha club in London during a glamour model party on 28 September 2005. He suffered from a punctured lung and a severed artery.”

“Murray was arrested in the Moroccan capital Rabat, with friend Paul “The Enforcer” Allen. The arrests were a joint operation with Kent Police in connection with the £53 million Securitas raid – Britain’s biggest cash robbery"

“certain of the charges against Murray included “Committing violent crime and beating and humiliating members of the security forces”.

Check out the links to the newspaper articles at the bottom…

Seems like a nice guy eh? :|

best fight story ever

Man that must have been one really big shoe to stomp on Tito’s massive head.

I would have paid to see that knockout.

Exactly how much must someone drink to think it’s a good idea to go after Chuck Lidell in an alley? I mean, unless Kimbo and his entourage were there as well.

dude thx so much for the post,you made my night here in Hungary :D I take it you´ll be sticking to mania´s coverage as well, if you cant get UFC on Demand live stream that is

Hey guys,one thing I don’t get,how did that fight start> for no reason?>>??

GUYS….GUYS….GUYS…dont you all read the line hear,,,,,he said they were all drunk hear not even the best fighters are on the ball when they are drunk….i wish people would stop tito bashing.look at the guy whos book this nis you dont think his last couple of performances has been great do ya,and you know he’s gonna get a ass whooping by gsp.

Yeah all the stories about the incident are a little different. But they all have one thing in commom, Tito got KTFO by Lee Murray. Love the bit about Chuck KOing everyone.

What a loser(Tim)..and what an asshole(Matt)..wow is this what Pat Militech’s camp is really about. There must have some serious inner haters in there.

It’s a camp full of old school type fighters, I can’t speak for Pat Militech himself, he seems like a level headed guy and trains IFL fighters, but I hear the entrance to the training camp for new fighters is brutal, they just beat you up until you prove yourself or they accept you won’t quit. I imagine for a new upcomer there’s a lot better gyms nowadays like Matt Serra’s or Xtreme Couture where they will work with you as an individual and not a piece of meat.

Damn, Hughes is a heartless SOB.

Yes but now HUGHES always be remembered as the tough talking guy who fought GSP and put in an ARM BAR… crying:
“I TAP I TAP I TAP!!!!

THE EQUIVALENT TO SAYING “UNCLE”!!!

man fuck hughes i hope gsp kicks his ass then i wish tito would punch him in the face for no reason

lol good one! ! ! :)))))))

dude thx so much for the post,you made my night here in Hungary :D I take it you´ll be sticking to mania´s coverage as well, if you cant get UFC on Demand live stream that is

you can get every fight/all access and what not, on torrent sites man… where have you been livin’ :) just google and voila’ ;)

I started reading Matts book and half way thru I knew something was amiss. Did he write some of that junk because he knew it would see. Toward the end, Matt sounds like a real sleeze. The language and telling about his love life and illegitamte son. What gives. He is suppose to be a Christian and he writes that filth. Was he trying to impress his following. Well his following does not go for that. Write another book and be honest. What about your sister. you mention her very little. and to write about beaing up your Dad, wow. better get on your knees and off the ego trip

damn i’m happy someone teach Tito a lesson he deserves it he does have a big mouth.
