22 MAY 2006 - Fake MySpace Accounts
Well, unfortunately, it seems that people are still being duped by imposters on MySpace. We've been able to get one of these fake sites shut down, but there are others. Here are some of the imposters to watch out for:

"Matt-Hughes.com" (added 23 May 2006)
M A T T ! ! ! (added 26 May 2006)
Below is a photo taken of Matt that lists the fake accounts that we know of right now, this is the "MySpace Salute" that we used to get the first site on this list shut down. However, the other three are still active, so be careful that you don't get fooled. If Matt ever does decide to start a MySpace site, then we will announce it here and post a link on the front page. Otherwise, don't be taken in by liars and imposters.

27 MAR 2006 - My Week at MFS
This is Nathan Rosario, the webmaster for this site, and last week I got to spend a few days in Iowa with Matt and the rest of the Miletich camp. Like many others, this has been a dream of mine for years and it turned out to be a much more awesome experience than I could have imagined. I was there to get reference material for a project that we will be showcasing here on the site in the next week or so (if you've been active in the forums, you've already seen it; but keep your eyes on the Fan Art section); however I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes of the hardest working team in the MMA world.
What impressed me the most was the intensity of their training. I've witnessed (and participated in) some tough workouts in my days in the Army; but that was usually motivated by some Drill Sergeant yelling and threatening young kids who were only pushing themselves because there was a maniac screaming into their ear. This was different because nobody was in that gym who didn't want to be there. Everybody was there to push themselves and their teammates as hard as they possibly could.
Even the SpikeTV camera crew (who were shadowing Matt the whole time) commented on how the training that goes on in the Miletich gym is more intense than anything they had seen in other gyms. Nobody is working harder than these guys, it's the best gym in the world to train at and everyone there knows it.
I was actually caught a bit unprepared when I got there. I had no idea that Matt and Pat Miletich would let me lift weights with them, so I showed up the first couple of days in regular clothes. But they put me to work and I'm still sore as I type this. So if you see video footage of some joker working out in blue jeans, then you'll know what happened.
Let me just finish by saying that Matt is in the best physical condition of his career and ready to step into that octagon and fight Royce Gracie right this minute. I'm not in the habit of predicting the outcome of fights, but I don't believe that Royce is prepared for what he is about to face. And I'm confident that he is not training at anywhere near the same level of intensity that Matt is training right now.
25 MAR 2006 - A Special Thanks to Kevin's
Chris Zielinski of Kevin's was responsible in getting Army of One Beanies donated to the Rancho 3M orphanage this past week. It was the first corporate donation we have received to this point, but hopefully not the last. We have been working with Chris and his company over the past couple of months on a few new products to be introduced soon and we would like to publicly thank Chris and the management team at Kevin's for their generosity. Their website is www.kevins.biz
17 MAR 2006 - MySpace Imposters
It has recently been brought to our attention that there are individuals on MySpace claiming to be Matt. Just to set the record straight, Matt does not have a MySpace account. He has never had an account and has no plans to start one. So, simply put, anyone on that site claiming to be Matt is a fraud.
