I was shocked at Hughes making Bible study an hour before training.....I thought he was there to coach not preach.

LMFAO @ him being the Queen!!

[Unreal]

i think the worst part is that after reading the story he wants the guys to tell him who he is instead of who they are.

that segment gave me a good idea of why serra doesnt like him

Yeah, but the rest of the episode gives you a good idea of why Serra is quickly becoming the biggest loud mouth in all of MMA. I've never seen anyone as obsessed with another fighter as Serra is with Hughes.

I know Hughes is involved with a lot of charirty work but man, does he really have to pat himself on the back on national tv. "I could work at a nursing home, that's how much I like helping people" Hughes said during the show. Why he feels the need to praise himself on tv is beyond me. He still is a hell of a coach though.

Y'all really need to stop hating. Matt did what he is supposed to as a Christian, and that is to share his faith... He didn't shove down anyones neck... He offered it to them as a choice to read or not to read. I thought it was fone with class. Matt is a caring individual and it shows, and is not afraid to keep his faith out in th open....


Now SERRA... He could care less who he offends and can bash Christians and think he's cool. What if he has a devout Christian on his team that doesn't like all the foul mouthed hate coming out of his whiny hi pitched eric voice??? He still pushes his oppinion on everyone about Hughes non stop, bad mouthes his supposed (boy Joey) in front of everyone, and acts like a real ass!


I know a lot of you think Matt Hughes is a jerk because he is a Christian, but we live in America, where freedom of religion is RIGHT, and thank a soldier for that continued right, and don't try to take someone elses freedom away because you dont like it...

Just my thoughts

I dont think people think Matt Hughes is a jerk because he is a Christian. I would be will to bed that the majority of the posters here are christian as well. (I am) What peopel dont like is he did push it on them. Look how it went with Mac Danzig. Danzig didn't want to be apart of it so he took a nap. Matt Woke him up and AGAIN tried to tell him to read the passage becasue "It is a good story"

I, personally, think Hughes is a great fightier. He is not one of my favorites though. I do find him entertaining on TUF as well.

That's where I stand with this. I have no problem with anyones religion but when your the coach even telling guys that they don't have to read isn't 100% true since you want to be in good with your coach. It's just a very touchy situation.

Danzig even said in his blog that with someone else he would have made a bigger deal about it but since Hughes was his coach he didn't.

What is the link to his blog? I remember reading last weeks but I cant recall where i got the link from. Thanks.

i wasn't really "shocked", i am NOT religious AT ALL, but i wouldn't have had a problem with my coach trying to steer me in a direction in which he feels has contributed to his success

i probably would've put the book down after a few minutes (i am not familiar with the book of "Esther"), but at least givin it a chance so i wouldn't be insulting someone's beliefs

i didn't like Hughes after the last season, but have come to like him again (even prior to this season first episode), he seems sincere and the "cockiness" he has portrayed is just confidence
