Matt Hughes: 'How Can These Guys Complain About Their Pay'

BJPENN.COM News - July 19, 2013

“You go back to when I first started. These guys are making as much now as I did when I won the belt,” Hughes said. “How can these guys complain about their pay? I don’t understand it. I really don’t. Most of the guys that complain are guys who have been kicked out of the UFC. Like (Jon) Fitch. I like Fitch. I’m not talking bad about him, but I’m going to tell the truth. If people didn’t buy a ticket or buy a pay-per-view to watch him fight, then what good is he? A lot of people found him extremely boring. And so he got let go, and he’s not happy about it. But the facts are the facts.”

VIDEO | Dana White Goes Off On SI's Recent Roundtable Discussion About UFC Fight Fixing

BJPENN.COM News - July 18, 2013

“That reminds me speaking of morons. When we talk about… Sports Illustrated had this group of people together and they… SPORTS ILLUSTRATED talked about, had this panel saying, “yeah, so I heard over the weekend, you know this fight might have been fixed.” First of all these people looked like they covered tennis, not fighting, and you could tell none of them even watched the fight. For somebody like Sports Illustrated, people who are supposed to be credible journalists, to go out and say something that stupid when they never even watched the fight, is just a testament to how bad reporting is getting these days. It’s more about the shock factor than the fact factor.”

VIDEO | UFC 163: Phil Davis Ready To Start His Legacy Off Machida Win

BJPENN.COM News - July 18, 2013

“What makes me so confident in this run for the title? I know what I’m willing to do to make it happen. Machida was next in line for a title shot. Wining against him will put me up in the contender race. What makes Lyoto Machida so unique is that he is quite effective at catching people rushing in. Anyone who comes straight at him, he usually punches. I’m gonna stick to my bread and butter. If his tricks are not working that night, it will be a rough night. My plan is to go back to Rio and get another submission win and be able to build my legacy that way.”
