Tim is and always will be a goof.

Tell you guys what, I wasn’t gonna watch it, then I did. Nice Q&A! I’m not a big Hughes fan, but he actually comes off really good in this video. props to him.
I hope serra beats him!!

He must have left his ego at home for once, because he did seem to be fairly likable.

Tim is just pitiful.

Yup 1st video Matt Hughes did not act like a pissed off bitch… personally i think it was a fluke..lol

Matt is only the center of attention when he brings his ego around. the guy is really nice and cool always like to kid around and laugh. he is only a d*ck to his opponent anyone who wants to start a war of words with him. like i said you all only listen think about Matt when he says crazy thing.

Oh Nooooo Timmy……I bet this happens to him a lot and its not surprising behaving like he did.

“I thought women liked big tough guys…??!”

They do tim but, one that is fun and has a bit of confidence and that doesn’t move like a giraffe would have to be high on thier list too!

Poor Timmy. Losing inside and outside of the Ocatagon.

Wow…Don’t typically see Hughes offer much by way of humility, but there seemed to be a little in that interview.

by Tony on Sep 17, 2008 10:23 AM EDT reply actions

Yup, and all it took was two beatings from GSP and one from Thiago.

No audio, some one give the highlights please

Hughes basically said that he will fight Matt Serra sometime in early ‘09, that he will never stop giving Tim Sylvia shit about his blind date video and that he is Dennis Hallman’s bitch.

But on a side note he was unusually good natured in this interview, so I gotta give him that. The guy was likeable here..

thanks for the play by play

by john on Sep 17, 2008 2:45 PM EDT up reply actions

JOHN. he mentioned the pele loss as well. he said that pat miltech gave him the wrong gameplan and would like to get that fight back as well. i havent heard anything about pele in ages.

Nah, it’s all an illusion. You never know this guy. How long ago after getting stomped, was it when he was saying Thiago isn’t top 10.

by NameNotRequired on Sep 17, 2008 2:11 PM EDT up reply actions

Blind Date was such a great show. Tim didn’t even come off looking like a tool, except for being unable to handle more than two lady drinks.

Pretty nice video. I like it.

lol at the dennis hallman comments.

Matt must have taking his happy pills that day. He is looking big too. I thought on TUF he looked pretty small for a guy who is said to walk around at 190. I hope he beats Matt Sera

by natedogg77 on Sep 17, 2008 11:48 AM EDT reply actions

lol, poor tim sylvia, he will never get any sort of respect..

the kiss he gives the audience before any of his fights is so gayish..

by shamo84 on Sep 17, 2008 12:03 PM EDT reply actions

That was the coolest Matt Hughes I have ever seen. I wouldn’t mind seeing him back on top again now. I doubt it will happen, but it is really nice to see him joking around and having a good time. Instead of constantly being a dick. I’m stoked for the Matt/Matt fight. I think Hughes can win, but Ill be happy with just a good match.

by the still operator on Sep 17, 2008 6:59 PM EDT reply actions

props to tim for having standards. however…… the skank would have been a fun time and then you move on, hopefully without any diseases. enjoy it now skank the only difference between fun party girl and nasty leather skinned bar-fly is 15 years. having said all that i would have drank tequila with her and rode that red head like a rented mule.
