UFC Quick Quote: Matt Hughes would 'love to rematch' Thiago Alves and GSP

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA oh my god matt hughes you must be joking??

Oh no Jesse!You didn’t… What GSP’s doing under the Hughes tractor?

Didnt Hughes knee go out when Alves flying kneed him into unconciousness? Does he not understand that GSP finds a different way to beat him down each fight. I thought having to scream tap tap tap wouldve been enough to make him understand he has no chance.

I count it! He was 4 lbs more and Hughes would have got his ass kicked just the same.

LMAO..hughes didn’t seem like he had a chance in either of his last two fights.

Its natural for Hughes to feel this way. Hughes will probably beat Serra but Alves/St.Pierre will knock his head off. Hughes vs. Koscheck would be a much better fight!

Old wore out fuckers don’t know when to quit.

It’s hard to give up on something… lets see if he can deal with Serra first!..
El Clásico in about an hour, Real Madrid for the win!!

This guy’s ego bigger than Tito’s head. C’mon, really, a title shot if Alves wins. Lost 3 of his last 4 and BADLY and he is thinking title.

He knows that the only reason GSP embarrassed him was because he felt slippery. He WAS NOT saying he greased or did anything illegal. Nothing like that, just that Hughes lost both them times when GSP was slippery.

what happened to him NOT wanting to be someone’s highlight reel?

B***h Please!
Liddell has a better chance of reigning supreme again than Hughes does and Liddell’s chances are slim to none and slim just left the building.
LOL X100

I have a few problems with this quote. First, if Serra is the only fight on your mind, why are you talking about Alves and GSP? Second, even at weight Alves would take Matt and I don’t think anyone doubts GSP would take Matt. Third, you didn’t like the way the last GSP fight went? Would that have to do with the fact that you lost? Matt the definition of an idiot is someone who keeps trying the same thing over and over, but expects a different result. Matt is a great wrestling, no doubt. That said, has his game evolved to the point where he can challenge for a title again? We’ll see when he fights Serra.

The UFC brass was very aware of an injury Alves sustained prior to his match against Hughes. His inability to properly train hindered his weight loss. > Very few fighters fight at 100, ask Big Nog.

Ever since Anderson Silva first victory against Rich Franklin, Matt Hughes has been talking about moving up in weight to face the MW champion. He feels that Silva has some holes in his game that he can exploit. > I think Dan Henderson saw those same holes.

He’s currently 1-2 against GSP.

He better hop that Serra doesn’t beat him.

Hughes will get his ass handed to him no probs by either GSP or Alves.
He MIGHT even get done by Matt Serra but I think Hughes will lay on him for 3 boring rounds of wrestling and win decision at 30-27.

I say after serra fight have him fight koscheck and if he loses then have him fight MA MAN Karo Parisyan.

As much as i LOVE karo parisyan, karo is behind koscheck right now and with his injuries and shortcomming and assuming matt hughes coming from a loss to koscheck. It would determine where karo and hughe would stand againts the rest of the competetion and up and commers cause there both barley hanging on.

To some some small extent same can be said about koscheck, well koscheck is in a bit of a limbo right now. But both karo and koscheck are FUCKIN legends in wrestling/judo and they would in my opinion SCHOOL hughes so would ma buddy Joe Diesel Riggs

hughes thinks he’s still in the title picture? the guy’s delusion knows no boundaries.

Him getting another shot at GSP is like giving Liddell another shot at Rampage, or Ritch another shot at Anderson.

Personally, I think guys like Hughes and Liddell should have retired a while ago while they were on top. If a fighter retires on top, they are always seen as invinsible. Take Rocky Marciano for example, if he had lost a few fights to end his career he wouldn’t be quite the legend he is today.

With that said, I also believe it’s a personal decision and understand the desire these guys have to fight. If guys like Hughes and Liddell have fun fighting and want to fight, I support that.

I agree ja434650…I always said Liddell and Wandy should have called it quits after their fight…I guess if the desire is still there its hard just to stop doing something that’s made you a living..Hughes is a legend and still believes he can win, don’t know what the big deal is?

sorry matt, but a rematch with georges?! you’d get subjected to another clinic and further embarrassment. and thiago would school you as well. matt is not longer able to compete with the top 3 or 4 of the division simple because he’s been utterly dominated in each of those fights.

i dont know why people are dogging Hughes of hes one of the most dominate champions in ufc history, certainly better than randy and beileve he is goin 2 destroy sera and if he does the right thing he could beat Gsp or thiago

Stay on the farm Hughes. Fight GSP again? Really? Are you sure you want to go through with that?

I’m sorry to to ruffle any feathers out there, but too many people seem to be quick to discount Ortiz and Hughes! They’re both still young enough and skilled enough to find glory again. Some may laugh. Go ahead. I know a long layoff hurts alot of fighters, but it helps some. And Hughes has access to train with the top fighters and trainers in the world. He has the money to hire them and the name recognition to convince them to get on board. I believe you can teach some old dogs new tricks. I’ve seen it. Hughes has probably healed every injury he’s ever had and may return at 100%! Like him or not, don’t count him out!

I dont want to pay see him get his arse kick again by either one of those guys!!

Let’s face it guys …It is spring time and Matt has been spreading a lot of manure around the farm getting ready for the summer so obviously the chemicals from the crap are halping him believe crap….It’s my educated guess

I dont see it as hughes saying he would be the next for a title show. I think its just a matter of a fighter wanting another crack at someone who beat them, a lot of fighters are that way. Im a huge fan of Matt’s, But Im the first to admit he hasnt evolved and the sport is passing him by. On the other hand I also have to say that he has nothing left to prove, even if he called it quits after this fight. He was had a good ride during his career and as everyone knows will be in the hall of fame.
 Its just “the changing of the gaurd”, I hate to see some of the fighters go, but Im really excited at the next evolution of the MMA fighter.
 What a bada** sport

You folks are talking this too literally.

1. Hughes doesn’t think he can beat Alves or GSP.
2. He is only saying he would like rematches because a fight against Alves or GSP would mean a big fat paycheck.

Wondered why so many losers came out saying GSP felt slippery when they got destroyed? It’s because if they ever were to get a rematch, they would cash in.

Money, money, money, is the only reason guys like Hughes talk like that, to try to influence matchmaker Joe Silva. To show they can hype it. Do they think they deserve a shot? Probably not. They can’t all be that dumb.

Sorry Hughes, u will not be in line for a title shot if u win your fight. Hope u retire after this loss and back to the farm for u .

If Hughes looks really good against Serra, and Alves loses against GSP, a rematch is not impossible and if Hughes come healthy it could be a good match.

Hughes will dominate Serra.

Screw the haters.

I think the number 1 contender after alves is fitch but gsp already beat him. he has also beaten kos. mike swick is near the top if he beats saunders maybe he gets a shot he destroyed marcus davis who is good. put fitch in with anthony johnson. The only guy I see beating GSP is Alves but how does Alves do off his back? GSP has great takedowns but one knee and it is over.

Matt Hughes is an egomaniac. He’s also a one dimensional fighter who probably couldn’t beat my grandma anymore. He’s not a true mixed martial artist, the sport has passed him by.

another slaying by GSP would be entertaining but not worth paying for……free on tv would be ok but Hughes is not on the same level as GSP……washed up……retire.

The only way Hughes could beat Alves or GSP is running over them with that big ass tractor of his….

‘Matt Hughes is the world’s biggest arsehole’. Discuss.

Matt Hughes could beat Gsp, Alves and Fitch only if he shot them with one of his guns that he loves to hunt with. The guy is an egomanic and a redneck. He was on top for a wile but his time has passed. Now is GSP’s time so sorry Matt ur reign as a champ is long gone. I think if he beat Serra a fight with Koscheck would be interesting.

Ya I guess his ego must be up there with bj penns. After getting completely and utterly embarrassed, both hughes and penn want a rematch??? LOL penn called hughes a pussy after his second loss to gsp, and wondered how he’ll come back after such and embarrassing loss….karma’s a bitch. I wonder if hughes even saw his fights with gsp and alves, they were pretty damn one sided, he has nothing in his arsenal that leads me to believe he has much of a chance.

 His fight with lytle was pretty damn boring, and serra is better than lytle on the ground, hughes needs to spend all his energy focusing on serra. I think hughes like chuck really wants to go down with a blaze of glory and retiring with the belt I think is what both chuck and hughes wanted but its just not going to happen, sorry hughes even jesus can’t make that happen.

I thought Hughes had said that the Serra fight was going to be his last fight.

What is it with this Shamrock trend nowadays? Everyone wants to fight past their prime and tarnish their name and legacy just for the green. First Liddell and now Hughes.

He sees an opening to retire as champion again, that is all.

Come on Dana, put this guy in his place. He fights Serra and gets out.
