Matt Hughes: Champions Would Be More Exciting With Shift In Mentality | UFC NEWS


“I was big on always going out and winning a new belt. I never thought of it as defending a belt. I always thought of it as winning a new one. I think when people are trying to defend, they’re not as exciting and they don’t have as much drive as a guy trying to go out and win a new belt.”

- Former UFC welterweight champion, Matt Hughes, via the recent UFC Fan Chat.
