Stay connected for news and updates

"I don't know what I'm going to do. DW (Dana White) and I will get in a room and talk about it. We'll figure it out. I definitely still want to compete. I still think I'm competitive in the weight division."

-- Steve Cofield over at Yahoo!Sports.com transcribes the comments from former welterweight champion Matt Hughes at the UFC 98: "Evans vs. Machida" post-fight press conference regarding his fighting future. The future Hall of Famer reveals that he still has the passion to continue fighting after his unanimous decision win over arch enemy Matt Serra this past weekend despite rampant pre-event speculation that he would hang up the gloves. However, it's very unclear at this time where the 35-year-old veteran fits in the grand scheme of things. Moreover, is his old school smothering "ground and pound" approach to competition going to cut it against younger, faster and more versatile talents such Thiago Alves, Josh Koscheck, Martin Kampmann and Mike Swick, among others? Tell us what you think in the the comments section below ... do you want to see Hughes fight on, and if so, who should he matched up against?
