I read your book,it was great! It blew my mind and my heart when I read my name!
Thank you some much for mentioning me in your book.

Your book was a lot less depressing than Jens Pulvers book….

Matt,
I just finished your book. It was a page turner for sure. It sounds like you had a basic, mid-western, farm-boy, upbringing. I grew up in Kansas myself, and I was surprised that we had even been to some of the same places, though at different times I’m sure.
I have to admit that the book wasn’t exactly what I expected, but it was still a good read. I also have to admit that I had thought that you were the strong one in the Hughes family, now I know its really your wife.
Thanks for sharing, and God bless.

That’s great that the book was such a great success. I know that it was definitely a success for me. I finished it last week and couldn’t do much of anything else with my free time. I loved reading about how you climbed the ladder in the UFC and especially how you humbled yourself just a few years ago and decided to transform your life to alig nalign it with the will of God. For me, it was a chance to look into the life of a UFC champion, and more importantly, witness first hand how a hero of mine became the person that I look up to. Congrats on the success and thanks for everything, Matt!

Congratulations to Matt and Michael for a very successful book tour. I’m sure it was a memorable experience for the both of you. I was lucky enough to get to meet matt and michael when they were in Georgia at Discover Mills Mall in Books-a-million. Matt is a very nice and down to earth Christian guy who just happens to be the greatest champion the ufc has ever seen. My wife and I were excited that we got to meet matt and get some pictures and autographes. We will be making the 9 hour drive from the atlanta, ga. area to granite city for the gym opening, and i cannot wait for that. Looking forward to the demonstrations and to seeing everyone. God Bless.

Michael Barrett is actually a catcher. When he was with the Cubs, he actually got into a little scuffle with Carlos Zambrano in the dugout. That happened a couple seasons ago. Maybe we’ll be seeing Barrett enter the octagon at some point? I actually think that Zambrano got the better of the exchange if memory serves correct. So, maybe Barrett should consider signing up for some training at the H.I.T. Squad!
