Even if Matt's motor skills don't fully return, he still seems to have his sense of humor, and fully understand what's going on, saying he's gonna choke out dana was proof of that! Heart of a champion god bless.
His motor skills and speaking will come back. Watch Crash Reel,the documentary about Kevin Pearce the snowboarder who sustained a traumatic brain injury. It's a long road though.
When he was on Ariel's show I was caught so off guard when he started speaking because I didn't know the extent of his injuries or that they impacted his speech like that. But when he cracked a joke about Ariel's shoes I almost teared up realizing he's still the same guy in there
@Anton EightBall I agree with you but it was a train. No sarcasm. You're right though... ppl gotta forget human kindness and Matt'S story and life to argue about politics and bs they don't even try to change by doing something productive. Instead they ruin positive stories like Hughes with their whining. Get a life
I read a message that 90% of people that suffer this injury don’t make it or just become a vegetable. Truly a miracle and a testament to how badass Matt is.
He truly is a champion at heart, when it comes to true legends and pioneers of the sport he really is in that upper balcony. Such a shame this happened. Can only imagine what is family have been through.
@@davidlanglois6055 the man had a tbi in which his brain was separated from the spinal connection.. not saying it’s okay but he clearly was severely mentally distraught from the accident ..

For the new and casual MMA fans, he is Matt Hughes. One of the guys to defeat GSP. He was a UFC welterweight champion and defended the belt 5 times. He is easily the top 3 greatest WW of all time in MMA along with GSP and Woodley.
Matt Hugh's easily one of the greatest fighters. He brought the fight game to another level. Even with the train accident this guy I still tough as nails.
jesus.. i have been living under a rock.. well on the other side of the world for a few years i did not know this happened... this brought me to tears to see Matt Hughes in this state.. i have no words
Probably so David. It's hard to see him like that man it's tough, but he has his head up and keep's moving forward. This setback show his character and why he was and will forever be a champion.
@@irishscience580 It wasnt a new thing tho, he been abusing her before the accident too, guess when he became a vegetable his wife didnt had to support it anymore
Thanks Matt Hughes for all the memories you gave us along with helping promote a sport. I pray those who you took care of and let enjoy the financial benefits of your career return the same commitment towards you and take care of you. You will be in our prayers always. God Bless you Matt Hughes.
Wow. Just wow. I have seen Matt since the accident...in attendance in the crowd at fights and at press conferences but i did not hear him speak till now. I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes and looked away from the screen with deep, deep sorrow and compassion. Matt is a TRUE LEGEND! been watching him since i was 15, im 27 now. So sad. I truly hope he makes a complete recovery. Respect, prayers and the best of luck to you and you're family Matt!
@@raybrozzo7850 me too! I totally thought he was acting. Until he started talking the second time. And this is the first I've heard of him being in an accident. I had no idea he was in an accident. So sad.
and i mean no disrespect to matt, but please no one race trains. Having someone angry at you for being late, or wanting to get home early or to a certain destination isn't worth risking your life like what matt did.
yeah the cancerous kind of people on lookism or 4chan fit and really everywhere dont realize this.. major damaging life altering trials can come to anyone at anytime
My mom suffered a traumatic brain injury over a year ago. Her speech is similar to this and watching this really hit home. He was and is a great fighter and I wish nothing but the best for him and his family.
My eyes filled with tears as soon as he started speaking. This guy is one of my heroes. I watched every title defense and I'm still in awe when I watch highlights of Matt dumping people on the canvas (especially Trigg 2!). I pray he regains the ability to speak clearly but thank god he's still here.
Matt Hughes vs Frank Trigg Nothing else needs to be said or watched to know what Matt Hughes is made of. There is not 1 ounce of quit in that human body.
@E Rock , Royce Gracie's career was winding down when Matt Hughes fought him, I think it is well safe to say, that if the two of them fought in each other's Prime, Gracie would choke his ass out.Strength wouldn't matter. Remember in the early 90s, when he fought Ken Shamrock and Kimo, and Dan Severn ? They were all twice his size. And he choked them all out. But it would definitely be a great fight, each of them in their Prime.
Guy there’s the issue of weight cutting which is much more serious now. Ken would die from that extent of a cut. His BMI would flip a lid and his water levels would be so low he’d be in the same position of being stuck in a desert for a month
Gracie is a perfect example of how to train right keep your BMI at the level your body can take . There fights set up, was perfect in my opinion. it’s the example of how to handle a bigger man. The w@y I was trained.
All of us fans love you Matt!! Thank you for giving us everything you had to give. I didn’t think I could gain anymore respect for this man than I already had. He’s the definition of a warrior and champion.
He is a true warrior. The spirit he has within his body is the type of spirit only a handful of us humans are born with. Truly phenomenal to see him still fighting to regain his true form when so many people would have quit when faced with the level of adversity this man has. No matter what kind of fight, Matt Hughes shows up and gives it his all.
I knew that something was very different about Matt when I seen Matt in some trailer crying while hugging someone. I didn't know that he was in a train wreck. Jesus Christ, This is heart breaking.
My Original Hero and a big reason why I went down that path. This hurts. Knowing Matt, if this didn't make you cry then wow. Nothing but honor, respect and love to Matt and his family.
Truly a warrior. I miss seeing him in the octagon. One of the most strongest man ever. I think he would be great coach inspiring and strong mind and body. Around the time of Matt's train accident on 2017, I lost my dad overseas. It was a very sad time for me. I wish Matt the best both in his personal and professional career.
Nut shot unseen by the ref. Then gets his ass beat down. Shakes it off. Picks Trigg up and runs him across the ring. Then power slams him on to the octagon floor. Rear choke ftw.
THIS WAS NO SUICIDE ATTEMPT....A TRAGIC ACCIDENT THAT HE WAS ABLE TO OVERCOME AND SURVIVE...GOD BLESS MATT AND HIS FAMILY....I LOVED WATCHING HIM FIGHT....POWERFUL GUY
RV CRUZA+ I DON'T KNOW MATT PERSONALLY, BUT THE GUY IS A NARCISSIST AND EGO MANIAC....THOSE TYPE OF PEOPLE ARE THE ME , ME , ME TYPE......HE WOULD NEVER HARM HIMSELF, HE HAD KIDS THAT LOVED HIM AND HE LOVED BACK, HE HAD HIS MMA CAREER AND HIS WIFE....MATT'S LIKE 40 YRS OLD, IF HE HAS NO PRIOR SUICIDE ATTEMPTS ON RECORD, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK NOW HE WOULD IN HIS 40'S AND IN THAT FASHION OF GETTING HIT BY A TRAIN...AS YOU SEE...DEATH AINT GUARANTEED WITH A TRAIN...YOU CAN SURVIVE IT....SORRY BUT YOU'RE WRONG
lee lunk watch the documentary, they show the tracks, how you not see and hear a big ass train? He was fighting anymore, he even told his wife he didn’t have a purpose in life anymore. Guess you didn’t hear, now he has a restraining order against him from his wife and family. He chocked his wife in the shower, slap her dad, got into argument with his newphew and tried to set the tractor on fire. That brain injury unleashed the beast in him. Look it up
Damn! So happy he made it. This made me so emotional. The fact that he is still standing proves that he is very strong considering the accident. God bless him and his family and his enormous support from everyone, including his fans.
It's good that we all get to see this. I'm crying as I type now. This shows you what is most important is health love and family. Don't let the distractions in life ever let you forget that this can happen to any of us at any given time. Don't sweat the small stuff. It's crazy out there be kind and take care.
DDRUTOU he actually looks amazing for a guy who got hit by a train, his speech is off etc but hhis facial functions body movement are actually pretty good
I came into this well aware of his condition. There's a few random YT videos I've seen where it had post accident Matt in them, and it broke my heart to the point where I didn't even want to believe it was real. He will always be known as a GOAT. I'm also glad they're giving him the recognition he deserves. He was the only person to submit fucking GSP for crying outloud.
It just shows how life can be so fragile as it can take away everything we have as we witness with Matt. God bless Matt and his family. My hearts are with them.
Matt Hughes you are an inspiration, seeing this puts life in perspective in so many ways, so heartbreaking but so inspirational to see him pull through this horrific accident.
Matt Hughes will forever be the GOAT to me. He dethrowned all of the Legends and was seemingly the most American Dude ever to walk into the Octagon. I have the utmost respect for what he accomplished and how i feel he transformed this sport. Matt-- Keep fighting!! Much love.
Its very hard for me to believe that this version of Matt is involved with domestic violence. The guy can barely walk or talk! But im not the one living in his house or in any way related to him so who knows what really happened 😪
Sad to see but also great cause he can still communicate still walk still do things there just more difficult but all things considered he looks great for someone who got hit by a fucking train hope he regains more of his brain back but if not it don't matter he's alive can walk and talk and has a sense of humour that's a. Lot to work with if he can get to a stage where he can play with his kids help train at the gym and make love to his wife then he could still have a good life
The sense of humor is huge, there are good options for physical and speech therapy, but if someone's personality is damaged it's seems impossible to get back. Having a mind faster than your body is frustrating, but after an accident like his it's a good problem.
It makes me so sad to see Matt Hughes like this he was one of my favorite fighters growing up and I’ve don’t usually cry when comes to fighting but seeing him like this made me very sad 😞. Hope he keeps pushing and fighting 🙏🏼💯
I think He is Mentally very good in that he can think well and is awareof everything around him.. I think if he . His motor function abilities have a long way to go and that includes his speech. His mind is their but he is somewhat trapped in his body. He is litterly learning to walk and talk again.
May God bless Matt and his family, I just learned of this, I remember when he was an active fighter and to hear him talk broke my heart, all the best to this man.
It breaks my heart to see Matt Hughes in this condition. I am happy he survived. He always seemed like a really nice guy. I pray he still gets to live a long and happy life.
Matt is a great guy and i really feel for him, he knows he's not the same and can tell when he speaks it's not the same, he's a tough and strong person, i hope the best for Matt Hughes.
As a long time fan of mma it's hard for me to see someone I look up to like this. I hope he recovers well most people who aren't built like matt hughes maybe wouldn't have survived. He'll always be a true legend to me.
Matt, im so sorry that you have had this tragedy in your life.Im brought to tears.I never really knew and im very upset being a big fan of you and your talant that im now discovering this.May God Bless You and im glad your improving.This is heart wrenching.
When I was younger in 2004 getting into MMA it was him and a few others that got me excited to watch the sport and to see him like this is very upsetting - I teared up as soon as he spoke. I feel so sorry for him and his family. I can't thank him enough for his legacy and he'll always be a true champion in my book. Godspeed, Matt!
My heart is broken. This made me cry. To see him in this state and so vulnerable made me so sad. I am so grateful Matt is still alive. This was very hard for me to watch
Matt has given me some of the greatest moments in my life. Drinking beer with my buds watching hughes vs trigg, hughes vs bjpenn, and countless others. I might not agree with everything he says personally, but respect brother!
Now when you see Matt talk almost a year later it's like you can see he's fought even more and he's getting back to his old self again. What a real warrior.
Never knew Mr Hughes went through that and to see him now, breaks my heart for him, but, it warms my heart to see him do his best to live his life to the fullest, good luck Mr Hughes, you're an inspiration and provided some awesome fights for MMA fans worldwide
My heart breaks for matt! I didn't realise the extent of his damage. A true warrior!
Damn poor matt dude can’t form a complete sentence this made me so sad not the fate one of the great welterweights deserve.
Seriously! Didn't know it was this bad.
Kevin Morley, couldn’t have said it better
He'll bounce back JUST BELIEVE!
@@conormcgregor8451 i jus heard him form a few. Get hit by a train and the trade off is a speak impediment. it sounds like he got lucky.
Btw the train didn’t make it.That’s how tough Matt Hughes is.
Legendary comment
Fucken love this
This should be the top comment
He's so tough, he beat his wife and family up
Koolee so did i
Even if Matt's motor skills don't fully return, he still seems to have his sense of humor, and fully understand what's going on, saying he's gonna choke out dana was proof of that! Heart of a champion god bless.

I think he was saying he was going to choke out the guy that made the film for making him cry
Yeah god bless, where was god when that train came?
Ironic thing is, even after massive head trauma...He's still more articulate than Tito...
Joe Mamma agreed lol

I've seen many traumatic brain injuries and Matt is recovering at a remarkable speed and it's only been a little over a year. He is a warrior.
Stem cell therapy It’s the future!!!
I read a message that 90% of people that suffer this injury don’t make it or just become a vegetable. Truly a miracle and a testament to how badass Matt is.
That’s the first time I’ve heard him speak since the accident I had no idea about the extent of the damage.
Karrington Tucker Me neither! How fucking sad it is to see him like this. I hope it’s not permanent and he regains more cognitive function.
Same, I can’t believe it. I thought he made a full recovery without any mental damage. Really sad
Same I was shocked
Yeah neither, thought at most maybe he'd have some prolonged physical problems but didn't realize the extent of the brain damage caused.
It can take a while to regain full function after such a traumatic accident. But it does happen. Give it time.
He truly is a champion at heart, when it comes to true legends and pioneers of the sport he really is in that upper balcony. Such a shame this happened. Can only imagine what is family have been through.
It's sad that dana smashed his........
He is a douchebag
He’s not a champion.
I don't normally cry man but damn this made very sad I really feel for him I he makes a quick recovery
He recovered enough to be the breaks of his wife

Not just a car accident. He was hit by a train.
VIP do you people even watch videos you comment on ? This is ridiculous 🤦🏻♂️

I came into this well aware of his condition. There's a few random YT videos I've seen where it had post accident Matt in them, and it broke my heart to the point where I didn't even want to believe it was real. He will always be known as a GOAT. I'm also glad they're giving him the recognition he deserves. He was the only person to submit fucking GSP for crying outloud.
Matt Hughes💪
The reason I started watching this sport in 2003 consistently...thank you matt
It just shows how life can be so fragile as it can take away everything we have as we witness with Matt.
God bless Matt and his family. My hearts are with them.
If that doesn’t put your life into perspective nothing will
158 people that need to rethink there lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how can you dislike this video
Cause he’s a wife beater.
@@269adventures you really serious? He's in a different level now.
Justin Jones yeah different level of douche ness lol
god bless matt
Matt Hughes you are an inspiration, seeing this puts life in perspective in so many ways, so heartbreaking but so inspirational to see him pull through this horrific accident.
Matt Hughes will forever be the GOAT to me. He dethrowned all of the Legends and was seemingly the most American Dude ever to walk into the Octagon. I have the utmost respect for what he accomplished and how i feel he transformed this sport. Matt-- Keep fighting!! Much love.
Its very hard for me to believe that this version of Matt is involved with domestic violence. The guy can barely walk or talk! But im not the one living in his house or in any way related to him so who knows what really happened 😪
The domestic stuff happened before the accident
wow great stuff. 💚🍀
Sad to see but also great cause he can still communicate still walk still do things there just more difficult but all things considered he looks great for someone who got hit by a fucking train hope he regains more of his brain back but if not it don't matter he's alive can walk and talk and has a sense of humour that's a. Lot to work with if he can get to a stage where he can play with his kids help train at the gym and make love to his wife then he could still have a good life
The sense of humor is huge, there are good options for physical and speech therapy, but if someone's personality is damaged it's seems impossible to get back. Having a mind faster than your body is frustrating, but after an accident like his it's a good problem.
It makes me so sad to see Matt Hughes like this he was one of my favorite fighters growing up and I’ve don’t usually cry when comes to fighting but seeing him like this made me very sad 😞. Hope he keeps pushing and fighting 🙏🏼💯
Matt you are a true warrior brotha. Thanks for the great fights throughout the years.
I think He is Mentally very good in that he can think well and is awareof everything around him.. I think if he . His motor function abilities have a long way to go and that includes his speech. His mind is their but he is somewhat trapped in his body. He is litterly learning to walk and talk again.
Matt all kinds of messed up and he could still say what you just said WAAAAAAYYYYYYY better. Did a walrus teach you english bruh?
"Litterly"
@@LcInfantrySr fucking epic and best comment I've seen in a while. Laughed all the way out loud.
Ufc should be taking care of this man for the rest of his life and set upchildren for success one of the few clean fighters to walk to octagon
Yes and he was clean in era where meatheads were popping pills like candy. Matt will be a legend of mma forever.
Gsp to the train: "I'm not impressed by your performance"
May God bless Matt and his family, I just learned of this, I remember when he was an active fighter and to hear him talk broke my heart, all the best to this man.
It breaks my heart to see Matt Hughes in this condition. I am happy he survived. He always seemed like a really nice guy. I pray he still gets to live a long and happy life.
Matt is a great guy and i really feel for him, he knows he's not the same and can tell when he speaks it's not the same, he's a tough and strong person, i hope the best for Matt Hughes.
As a long time fan of mma it's hard for me to see someone I look up to like this. I hope he recovers well most people who aren't built like matt hughes maybe wouldn't have survived. He'll always be a true legend to me.
Matt, im so sorry that you have had this tragedy in your life.Im brought to tears.I never really knew and im very upset being a big fan of you and your talant that im now discovering this.May God Bless You and im glad your improving.This is heart wrenching.
Wow. Im shocked and saddened. Health is so important. I hope he recovers fully. My day just changed 😔
Matt!!! ...stay strong. You look fantastic...i can't believe this happened, terrible
Dana has always supported Hughes even offering a job in the UFC after retirement. Big ups to both them.
matt hughes was the guy who got me into watching mma, and seeing him like this absolutely deflates me.
When I was younger in 2004 getting into MMA it was him and a few others that got me excited to watch the sport and to see him like this is very upsetting - I teared up as soon as he spoke.
I feel so sorry for him and his family. I can't thank him enough for his legacy and he'll always be a true champion in my book. Godspeed, Matt!
I'm actually more impressed with Matt now then ever before, a true inspiration.
He is part of an elite group of champions in the MMA community. May god continue to bless you & heal you my brother!
My heart is broken. This made me cry. To see him in this state and so vulnerable made me so sad. I am so grateful Matt is still alive. This was very hard for me to watch
Matt has given me some of the greatest moments in my life. Drinking beer with my buds watching hughes vs trigg, hughes vs bjpenn, and countless others. I might not agree with everything he says personally, but respect brother!
Man this make me cry. Hes so strong i lost my mom to head trauma the brain is nothing to play with glad hes doing better these days. ONE LOVE
Now when you see Matt talk almost a year later it's like you can see he's fought even more and he's getting back to his old self again. What a real warrior.
Hats off to Matt Hughes. He's a bona fide UFC legend! So nice to see him in such good spirits, Gob bless ya Matt!
filmed in Hillsboro Illinois where my fathers side of my family calls home. Matt is a legend around this entire area.
Never knew Mr Hughes went through that and to see him now, breaks my heart for him, but, it warms my heart to see him do his best to live his life to the fullest, good luck Mr Hughes, you're an inspiration and provided some awesome fights for MMA fans worldwide
Matt Hughes u are a true WARRIOR and fighter! I'll keep you and family in my prayers. I've always was a fan
