This fight could be dangerous, especially the way you lost to GSP (totally shocking to me). You know more than I, however it seems like you need to bring more high level guys into your camp and make adjustments to your game so that you can evolve with the sport. Bring guys in that you can learn from rather than teach. Your fans need to you beat Thiago, and more importantly, that loser Matt Serra. We're all counting on you and couldn't bare to see you get thumped again. Matt - I’ve been a long time fan and have followed you since the pre-Zuffa UFC.

Then I was crushed when I found out that Chucky wasn't going to make it. Thinking my first UFC event was going to be a bust I couldn't believe it when my boy Matt Hughes stepped up. Mr. Hughes, your a true professional in the worlds greatest sport. Congrates on the tremendous career you've had. Good Luck at the 02 Arena! Also as a firearms instructor I don't think I could agree with you more concerning the 2nd Admendment. Then again I do tend to "cling to my guns and religion" at times.

About gun control, here is a very revealing video about gun control in the UK. Just in case the video does not embed, I will post the url too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGVAQOUi6ec By the way, I always tell people to carry a gun because cops are too heavy and darn near impossible to conceal. ;-) Matt,

I will be in London to watch you fight, It wasnt till last Saturday that I decided to go, when I found that you are fighting again. The political message I totally agree with. I only wish some people(politicans) just understood the only laws/rights they are trying to take away from us. Last but not least, as a member of greatest military in the world, that just got back from Iraq, I want to ask those that dont support the soliders, airman, sailors, marines, and coast guard, if we were not in Iraq/Afghanistan, put in harms way so that you can complain bout us being in the war, would you do it. I didnt think so!!! And for those that support the military, I personally want to THANK YOU!! If you see someone in uniform, it may not be much, but a "thank you" goes a long way.

Hughes has nothing left to prove in this organization, is a 9 time champion, with two non-title wins as champion. He has never ducked from a fight, shows tremendous heart, and survives deep submission attempts. And, win or lose, he is always a class act after the fight. For this fight, I definitely give the edge to Hughes, for strength, experience and heart. Steve Matt, wanted to let you know I’m a huge fan, and share this post I left on an MMA fan site:
