Anytime I watch bad stand-up it's just a system shock still.

How do you have such an ego where you don't train on your weaknesses more than your strengths?

There's no excuse to completely negate things during a live camp like you can clearly see a lot of people do.

MMA needs to continue to draw in new blood, we are watching worse fights than we did 5 years ago.

Just guessing,

But from how it looks she felt like she could tag Holly on the right so she tried to circle her, she clearly thought she could counter punch and went for the blast but was hoping for holly to throw a Haymaker.

Boop, kick to the face.

That kick is a thing of beauty, especially when you watch it in slow motion

bleacherreport

Matt Hughes is "awake and responsive" after his truck crashed into a moving train Friday.

The update came from the former fighter's manager, Monte Cox, who also told MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani on Saturday the doctors are "optimistic and hopeful" about Hughes, via Helwani's colleague Marc Raimondi.

Although Hughes' eyes are still closed, Cox said the fighter "can squeeze hands."

Official statement from the family

Official Family Statement

Matthew Hughes, Audra Hughes, Annette Fuller, Emily Hays Hughes

Our family is overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support.

Please understand that there are many false reports out there by people who say they are close to the family. We will post another update here when we have more news.

Matt is stable and has no broken bones or internal injuries. He has some minor lacerations and bruising and is currently being weaned from his ventilator. He is not yet awake and not responding as we would like to see but we see the fight in him.

Matts strength and determination along with God's Mercy and Grace will bring him through this.

We ask that you all continue to pray.

That doesn't sound great to me, but I am no doctor so...

Ya this dude should have had both legs amputated for the evil fuck he is. It only gets worse. Jesus fuck this guy is scum.

Later it gets even more disturbing when he describes mutilating a live baby piglet by cutting off it's testicles, and throwing them at a friend. For good measure he slits it's stomach open as it screams wildly to "freak his friend out." After he and Mark brutally torture and kill a dozen or so baby pigs, solely for entertainment, they starts throwing their testicles and body parts at each other. Matt even now still seems amused because his friend looked like he was going to vomit.

Yeah I read the synopsis of the first 4 or 5 chapters and didn't even want to go any further. If even half of it is true, I hope the dude wakes up and gets to live the rest of his life as a paraplegic.

Wow that's some fucked up shit, never read that before or even knew he had an autobiography.

I mean I get boys will be boys but that's some really twisted shit there. I'm pretty sure his dad was real happy being a farmer and all that they murdered 10 piglets also. Another gem:

He ends the chapter in typical fashion talking about his sexual assault victim waiting for him to get home from Europe one night, sitting in a car outside his house. He takes that opportunity to let us all know he wouldn't see her that night because he was "too busy spending the night in someone else's bed."

Come to find out, the victim sitting in the car would later become his wife. I bet she loved the fact that he included that little tid bit in his book.

Super classy. I told my wife about Hughes getting in a wreck and being in coma and all that and then read some of this stuff from his autobiography to her and she said "Maybe they can fix his brain while he's in a coma" haha.

Speaking of trains, a kid in town tried to race a train with his bike today and it didn't really work out for him. I feel bad, but I also feel like 9 times out of 10 if you got hit by a train it's because you were a fucking idiot.

Been there before when I fell off the top bunk. You can hear people and feel people, but can't move or do anything and you appear to be asleep. I felt I could have squeezed a hand, but not move it.

It only lasted about an hour for me, I can't imagine being in a legit coma like that. Scared the shit out of me. Had to consciously stop thinking about my inability to do anything in order to stay cool and calm mentally, and instead just focused on the conversation around me. Sounds like Hughes sucks though so its all gravy.

I once called Matt Hughes a massive train wreck at King of the Cage event.

Oops.

You know how sometimes bad things happen to bad people?

I don't wish I'll on anyone, but no matter what your faith or religion, we all know karma exists, and sometimes karma comes back all at once like a train to the face.

The fighters wanted it and the fans wanted it, and on Saturday, July 29, the UFC is delivering a world championship bout between Brazil’s Cris “Cyborg” Justino and Australia’s Megan Anderson, who will compete for the vacant UFC women’s featherweight title in the co-main event of UFC 214.

The bout will fill the vacancy left by the removal of Germaine de Randamie as 145-pound champion. The UFC explained the vacancy in a statement.

"UFC has informed Germaine de Randamie and her management team that she is being removed as the women’s featherweight champion due to her unwillingness to fight the No. 1 ranked contender, Cris ‘Cyborg' Justino. Subsequently, top contender Justino will face newly signed Invicta FC featherweight champion Megan Anderson for the UFC women’s featherweight title in the co-main event of UFC® 214: CORMIER vs. JONES 2, July 29 in Anaheim, Calif.

UFC maintains that any champion is expected to accept fights against the top contenders in their respective weight classes in order to maintain the integrity of the sport.”
