@Benaskren @MMARoasted @JohnyHendricks very true. I got where I am by doing not talking.

“@matthughes9x: @Benaskren @MMARoasted @JohnyHendricks very true. I got where I am by doing not talking.” Lots of ways to skin a car.

@Benaskren @MMARoasted @JohnyHendricks that won't get you to the big show.

“@matthughes9x: @Benaskren won't get you to the big show.” Did a world of good for Mr. Sonnen. Dana can only deny I am the best for so long.

@ryan211 @Benaskren @MMARoasted @JohnyHendricks who has he beat?

@GriffinQ @ryan211 @Benaskren @MMARoasted @JohnyHendricks open your eyes… Anyone can pad a record. Beat a top 15 guy.

@Benaskren I'm not doubting your talent, though I disagree with you. It's your fighting style.

— Matt Hughes (@matthughes9x) July 7, 2014

@matthughes9x I do appreciate the advice. I also think it is cute how you stuck up for @JohnyHendricks since he can't do it himself.
