Allen said...: Matt did not look too good but an fast stop....; June 7, 2008 7:21 PM
csreeves said...: DESTROYED...

...that's what Alves did the "former" greatest 170lb-er

Time to hang it up Matt...or fight 2nd tier fighters as a gatekeeper. Look what's happened to Matt in his last two fights...he's been flat-out outclassed by far. Heck, even his relentless wrestling couldn't hold Alves down.

Matt, retire before you get your skull cracked.; June 7, 2008 7:23 PM
Anonymous said...: O please alves aint that good.
I just don't know whats up with matt.
I really really wanted him to win.

I want there to be someone that just does NOT loose.

I guess my only hope is fedor - and he's not in the UFC!
I also like cung le. he's great - he just needs more power in his striking.; June 7, 2008 7:44 PM
Anonymous said...: I also feel sad for Matt Hughes. :( I'm not particularly a fan, but it's still sort of sad to see someone's career go that way, after being the champ and all.

And to the guy who said "if gsp aint a big pussy he..."

Look, if Georges St. Pierre WAS a pussy? He'd be massive and swallow Alves WHOLE, then squirt him out with so much force, that he'd completely explode upon hitting the ground. Cause... come on, it's GSP. :p; June 7, 2008 7:58 PM
R.KEEGAN said...: THIS GUY WHO SAYS MATT HUGHES NEEDS TO LEARN MORE SKILLS IS F-IN CRAZY,MATT AS ALL THE SKILLS HE NEEDS.IF YOU WHERE A FIGHTER YOU WOULD KNOW THAT YOU WIN AND LOSE FIGHTS.
PUNK SHIT TALKERS LIKE YOU THAT STARTED WATCHING THE UFC A FEW YEARS AGO WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT IT TAKES.
MATT HUGHES AS BEEN ON TOP FOR MANY YEARS,BUT ONCE A GREAT FIGHTER LOSES A FEW FIGHTS ALL THE NON FIGHTERS LIKE TO TALK SHIT.
GUY'S LIKE YOU WILL NEVER HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO TRAIN FIGHT AND CHANGE THE SPORT LIKE MATT HUGHES DID.
IT MUST SUCK BAD TO KNOW YOUR THAT GUY,THE GUY THAT WILL NEVER HAVE WHAT IT TAKES.
IF YOU THINK YOU DO THEN PLEASE STOP BY ELITE MMA GYM IN THOUSAND OAKS CA,.
IM SURE YOU AND I KNOW YOU WONT BE JOINING US ANYTIME SOON,U PUSSY.; June 7, 2008 9:00 PM
Anonymous said...: guess his game plan never panned out, needs to learn how to diversify, He is getting old a predictable,

Also GSP aint no pussy, after his title defense w/ fitch he'll probably take on penn at the end of the year, my guess, and then whoever,

Alves is good but he's aint there yet, GSP and Penn would tear him up; June 7, 2008 9:43 PM
tylr said...: wanna see a replay of that last knee; June 7, 2008 10:42 PM
Anonymous said...: matt needs to get more skills. He was so predictable during this fight. constantly going for a take down. obviously thiago was going to catch on sooner or later. really pathetic matt.; June 8, 2008 1:25 AM
Anonymous said...: Alves did good, i was impressed.
But, if you look at what happened, it was like this. Alves dominated standing, Matt managed to get Alves down, but was unable to do anything because he was out-strenghted. Then Alves got Matt down and used his strenght to hurt him and finish him. Did anyone ferget that Alves got into the fight over-weight, at 174, and that Matt just allowed him to fight anyways. Well if Alves had 4 pounds of muscles less, would he have been able to defend himself as well against Matt?- NO . Would he have hurt Matt as much ground and pounding him?- probably not.
Alved still won, but Matt was dum/arogent to fight a oversized oponent, he could have beaten if weaker.; June 8, 2008 3:54 AM
Anonymous said...: elite gymm guy, matt has no skills for a complete fighter, everyone knows that. he was winning so much due to his strenght and wresting skills, but he never had striking skills. so when he faces opponents that are as strong as he is or more (alves didnt make weight remeber dumbass?) examples of those are gsp, and now alves he gets into big big trouble. he just cant take and keep the guy on the floor long enought to do damage. i am a matt fan too but he needs to get more diverse skills or work more on his strenght. i think it will be easier for him to keep doing what he do best and really hit the gymm to get that overwhelming strenght he was known for.; June 8, 2008 9:28 AM
Anonymous said...: to r.keegan...

Wow, you must be the pride and joy of elite gym...so filled with anger (and probably roids) even your keyboard can't help but scream out in all capitals.

I'm sure your master/coach is very proud of you...for having become such an "artist" of the sport.

Keep up the good work and the angry posts.; June 8, 2008 11:57 AM
Anonymous said...: I hate Matt Hughes. I think he's a jerk that holds himself above everybody else. Having said that, as a fighter, I can respect him. he works hard, always makes weight, and is always in top shape. Thiago Alves on the other hand...well, he's a cheater. Maybe he's a nice guy in person but as a fighter, I don't respect him. He was caught using a diuretic to lose weight before and he missed weight this time. I know he hurt his ankle, I don't care. Call the UFC, tell them you hurt your foot and have them ask Matt if he's willing to take the bout at a catch weight. Don't make Matt cut to 170 when u know full well you can't cut there. So, as a fighter, I hate Alves even more than Matt.; June 8, 2008 12:50 PM

Anonymous said...: alves wasnt able to use his biggest strength (kicks) because of injury. without the ankle injury his performance would have been even more dominant.
so i think he performed quite impressive against now still top 5 WW Hughes!; June 9, 2008 1:47 AM
R.KEEGAN said...: CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY SO MANY GUY'S ON THIS SITE TALK SO MUCH SHIT ABOUT GREAT FIGHTER'S AFTER THEY LOSE A FEW FIGHTS?
I SEE THIS ALOT,CHUCK.L, RANDY.C,
WAND.S, CROCOP THE LIST GOES ON.

IM SURE,INFACT I KNOW THAT THE GUY'S THAT MAKE COMMENTS LIKE "MATT HUGHES NEEDS TO LEARN MORE SKILLS" CHUCK L IS OVER AND "LOST HIS POWER" ARE NOT FIGHTERS AND WILL NEVER HAVE WHAT IT TAKES.IT MUST SUCK TO BE THAT GUY,THE GUY THAT TALKS A BIG GAME BUT HAS NEVER PLAYED A DAY IN HIS LIFE.; June 9, 2008 9:59 AM
R.KEEGAN @ELITE MMA said...: "EVERYONE KNOWS THAT" YOU ARE A JOKE,IM SURE YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE UFC FOR A FEW YEARS AND KNOW WHAT KNOW WHAT A ARMBAR IS AND ARE A FAN OF WHO EVER AS THE BELT AT THE TIME,BUT JUST BY THE CRAP YOU WRITE I CAN TELL YOU DONT KNOW SHIT.
YOU ARE THE TYPE THAT TALKS LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT A FIGHTER SHOULD DO TO WIN A FIGHT OR HOW THEY SHOULD TRAIN,WHAT THEY SHOULD LEARN.
IF YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES WHY ARE YOU NOT FIGHTING OR TRAINING FIGHTERS?IS IT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE A INTERNET FIGHTER?
YOU WILL BE WRITING THE SAME CRAP WHEN GSP,SILVA,BJ PEEN LOSE A FEW TIMES.YOUR A BIG FAN WHEN A FIGHTER WINS BUT LOSE A FIGHT AND MUTTS LIKE YOU SAY ITS OVER AND THEY SHOULD RETIRE.
YOU KNOW YOUR FAKE,YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN YOU DONT HAVE THE SKILLS,HEART OR GUTS TO DO HALF OF WHAT MATT HUGHES AS DONE FOR MMA.

I WILL BE AT ELITE MMA IF YOU WANT TO SCHOOL SOME FIGHTERS AND TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING TO WIN,YOUR THE EXPERT RIGHT?; June 9, 2008 11:22 AM
Daniel said...: Dear R.Keegan,

Please do us and yourself a favor. Wear your head gear. Why is it that every goober that hits a bag and rolls around on a mat is suddenly an mma messiah. They feel that they have a right to TYPE IN CAPS and disrespect all the other fight fans.

YOUR A DOUCHE BAG AND SO IS HUGES. Maybe you can invite Huges over to your little gym, roll around on the mats (clothing optional, probably without is preferred). Please.... I hate it when these dim witted idiots cant even spell or string a sentence together.; June 9, 2008 12:34 PM
Anonymous said...: i dont agree hughes is an ass, i kind of like him as a person and respect him as a fighter. he used to be so dominant that its hard for him to step down. he needs to hit humble land for a while, he needs to get way stronger, he still got some juice left i think he can make it to champ one more time. elite gymm guy get off the roids, those who speak too much like you normally dont have it to back it up. about mma, i started karate age 5, moved to full contact age 13-20, and 2 years of thai box after. never done mma but i bet i could make u sleep b4 you could say uncle. :P; June 10, 2008 6:22 PM
