Just wanted to know how you felt about what Mac Danzig said about something along the lines of you where too hard on the younger guys who where giving it their all he felt but only had limited skills from only being in the game a short period of time, and that the Serra thing was getting in your head.

Mac Danzig complains alot and usually I try to tune it out. However, this week I was happy to hear him complaining about you being hard on the guys. At least that told me that you had them thinking even long after practice. Something needed to get their butts thinking! At some point, when you are a coach and are frustrated you will try anything. It seems like maybe you have hit this point. I hope it worked! God bless. Denise

Man, J-Rock had George down for 1 second and imediately had him in a kimora. Makes you kindof wonder what would have happened if he took him down. It always stinks losing but it is a lot worse when it is to somebady like George. NOW THAT GUY IS AN EGO MANIAC!!!

Hey Matt, I know these losses can get pretty frustrating. Keep your head up and continue on the path you are laying out for your guys. There are so many people out there that look up to you. “Proverbs 16:9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps”. You are laying the course out for these guys, but ultimatley the Lord is going to direct them where to go. I believe there is a reason your guys are losing, but it only takes 1 to win the competition. God may be saying to trust in me, right now may be rough, but the outcome will be great. Have a good day!

How hard is it to get on this show? If there are guys getting on there with only 1 or 2 fights and then some with no fights at all, just honestly, how hard is it? Is it just a matter of showing up at the tryouts and having a little experience in different areas? Have they had the tryouts already for the heavyweights for the next TUF? Maybe they should look harder.

I know this isn’t on the subject at hand but I thought it was a beautiful story. I wanted to share it with everyone I could. Enjoy.

This is Beautiful!! Try not to cry!

Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: “How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?”

The surgeon said, “I’m sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn’t make it.”

Sally said, “Why do little children get cancer? Doesn’t God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?”

The surgeon asked, “Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he’s transported to the university.”

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good-bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair.

“Would you like a lock of his hair?” the nurse asked.

Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy’s hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally. The mother said, “It was Jimmy’s idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. “I said no at first, but Jimmy said, ‘Mom, I won’t be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom.” She went on, “My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.”

Sally walked out of Children’s mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy’s belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy’s belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son’s room. She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.

It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said:

“Dear Mom, I know you’re going to miss me; but don’t think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just ’cause I’m not around to say I LOVE YOU. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won’t be so lonely, that’s okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn’t like the same things us boys do. You’ll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don’t be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn’t look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God’s knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That’s when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good-bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn’t allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him ‘Where was He when I needed him?’ “God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I’ve written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn’t that cool? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I’m, sure the food will be great.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don’t hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I’m glad because I couldn’t stand that pain anymore and God couldn’t stand to see me hurt so much, either. That’s when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?

Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

“When you’re down to nothing, God is up to something

Hey Matt, I was really surprised to see J-Rock’s octagon persona. For someone who seems so intensely emotional about fighting before and after the fight, he sure didn’t do much but paw at George during the fight. I also thought that your guys were being babies when talking about your criticisms during training after Dan’s fight. I saw your coaching as trying to motivate and fire your guys up. I’ve played plenty of team sports, and I think there’s nothing wrong with coaching your men that way, and I personally have always found it to be effective. I don’t think being tired and beat up after a competition has anything to do with giving it your best shot, and I don’t think giving a poor performance should ever be reinforced with praise. I realize Dan had only a handful of professional fights previous to the show, but honestly, he said himself that he saw Ben as dazed, so why didn’t common sense kick in to make Ben try to stand and defend himself as everything flickers in and out of focus? And along that same note, Danzig had absolutely no room to criticize you after the way he went after Bowman for being inexperienced.

Matt I figure it had to be tough on you while the show was filming. I gotta a question though, who was that guy that J-Roc called a which doctor and then when his name showed up it had which doctor below it. I figure they were just trying to be funny. I hope training is going well and I hope you knock Serra into next century. God Bless.

matt, i am a 51 year old man, stroke victim, paralyzed in my left arm which leaves me with the use of only one arm and i could have put up a better fight than j- rock did. he had fear in his eyes and you could see it, big talk, cruise into the finals what a wuss.if you don’t train and get youself ready for serra because your team is only going to win one fight and if you don’t beat matt serra, you will never hear the end of it because every time he gets a little air time he will mention how his team dominated your team and he beat you. please beat him on dec. 29, for the sake of your fans and the sake of the ufc and mma.

I am somewhat disappointed with all of the bashing on J,

come on guys you can all do better than that.

I have seen him called a wuss, questioned for his dedication . . .generally defamed?

that is not what Matt would want you to be doing here.

I personally suggest taking a step back and looking at the positives.

Christ never pointed out all the bad things about someone now did he!
nope he gave advice on how to be a better person.

Show all of the fighters who fought on both sides some love, I am sure Matt does and would like all of us to also.

Hey Matt I hope you read this. I have been following you for a while now and you are my favourite fighter in the UFC. You’re a strong guy and I like to watch you dominate your opponents. Watching your older fights you seemed to be much more agressive and you need to be that person again in order to beat St. Pierre. I think you can do it but you need to train harder than ever before. I think this is going to be the hardest fighter you have ever faced but you need to train as hard as you can in order to win. Get your strengths back up there by lifting weights again and training JJ and Wrestling. He’s definately planning to our wrestle you so PLEASE beat him. Watch the fights where St Pierre lost and watch what those fighters did in order to beat him. You must ground and pound. St Pierre is going to be much tougher than Serra would have ever been and I think you know that as well. PLEASE FIGHT LIKE YOU USE TO. EXAMPLE AGAINST GRACIE, CARLOS NEWTON AND EVEN PENN THE LAST TIME AROUND. good luck Hughes I’ll be waiting for you to dominate but remember St Pierre is training harder than ever before because he thinks he can win.
