Okay, back on topic...

What I was going to say before getting sidetracked was my previous post still applies just redirected at Rodney Dean. That is, if your positive sure you have the right person who said it, now.

Well, to be quite honest, it doesn't really matter because Greg Savage is just as guilty as anybody else. He has said plenty about Matt too.

Yes, it was Rodney Dean who specifically said that, but they all talk so much it's easy to get names mixed up. However, if you look what I originally wrote, I DID make a typo...I wrote Greg Savagr....: So, not only did I misquote him, but I misspelled his name too...

It's good to see that some are finally ready to eat their words, but we should have come to expect this ignorance when it comes to the way some haters talk about Matt. With Chael, it's just more polarizing for me because it's fresh and new. 6 months ago a lot of fans hadn't even heard of Chael Sonnen, but Matt has been a legend for years and journalists have been writing him off and bashing him for a while now.

Oh, as expected, you can also add Rodney Dean from Sherdog to the list of tools not sharp enough to leave the shed when it comes to Matt Hughes. He said on MMA Sunday School that Matt is basically always trying to subtly bash his opponents and that by Matt saying he was happy to see an old wrestling move beat a Brazilian he was trying to stick the knife in Ricardo a little more.

Yeah I stopped listening to MMA Sunday School because of stuff like that. Rodney Dean doesn't know the first thing about MMA.

In all fairness to Joe, he was comparing Ricardo to Renzo, not Matt. It was kinda vague, but if you listen carefully, Joe talks about Matt beating Renzo easily, & then begins describing why Ricardo's tougher than Renzo.

Just my 2 coppers.

OK, so these guys aren't journalists, but here some MMArtist Twitter comments:

> Matt Hughes is so strong that Zeus licks the sweat off his hands for power. That was a disgusting front headlock.

And for a nice change of pace:

In all fairness I really don't care for his comments anyway.
