Matt Hughes - Loser. Sore Loser.

August 15, 2008 by MMA moz 

Its one thing to talk a little trash about an upcoming opponent or a fighter you’ve beaten even, IMO its utterly disgraceful to talk smack about a fighter who has soundly beaten you so badly that there’s NO interest in a fourth Matt Hughes/GSP match.

His blog post about how boring he found the GSP-Fitch fight seemed laced with no small amount of jealousy. That’s somewhat understandable. A guy beats your ass twice, you may have some ill feelings towards him. But now Hughes is trying to claim that after GSP’s fight with Fitch (which Hughes walked out of halfway through) he does not deserve to be mentioned in the pound-for-pound debate. Has anyone told Hughes yet that GSP actually won that fight?

The hilarious thing is that Hughes also says B.J. Penn deserves to be considered among the best pound-for-pound. As in, the same B.J. Penn who Hughes (and GSP) beat. But GSP, who beat Hughes twice, convincingly, gets knocked out of the running for beating a guy who is ranked above Hughes in just about every welterweight top ten list in existence.
