Got a bad rap? he's incredibly unlikable. Hate to see him win like this even. I like the Diaz bros. though; especially Nick. Urija Faber and Nick were my faves.
Matt Hugh's is beyond a champ, dude suffered a 3rd degree axonal tear in his brain from a train crash, and has made an incredible recovery, and looks happy in every video I've seen of him. He's incredibly strong
I used to live in Hillsboro and he’d play basketball with us before he went to church in the morning with his twin brother mark. After the crash he changed a lot a lot mentally, I’m not sure he ever did recover fully mentally. Sad times:(
@@taylorgrunden3174 he literally wrote about being a pedophile, animal abuser, manipulator, abuser, bully, and there are plenty of videos proving it lmao. He tortured a pig and mutilated it’s corpse.
I was just casually reading Koscheck's record and couldn't believe my eyes when I read he beat Matt Hughes...had to watch it for myself cuz I somehow missed this..
Hughes was part of the older generation of fighters where wrestling and ground and pound ruled, and you didn’t need to know how to strike. Then he started facing wrestlers he couldn’t take down and who had better striking skills, so he was fucked. Tito Ortiz the same thing.
Danny Holder debatable. The best wrestler he faced in his “prime” was Sean Shark who is too small for WW. Again I think Hughes is great but he benefited from just being a better wrestler than the competition and was a horrible striker. When other wrestlers with better striking entered the mix Hughes was obsolete.
Tough crowd!! The exchanges and head movement was exciting to me. If they just tried to take each other down and roll around, I’m sure you’d be complaining too. What were you hoping to see?
Yu couldn't b more wrong.. I'm simply saying that in the main event he does the most.. "THIS IS THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING" ringing any bells causal??
Joel Bowers no, it’s not, but idiots like you are up to their usual idiocy in the comment section. They can’t recommend every interesting video to you all the time, you pathetic piece of garbage
Matt Hughes was, is, and will always be one of my favorite fighters of all time... Re his accident which many people have commented about, two things: 1. Matt is a fighter. He will recover like no other 2. Think about this, one minute he is driving along happy and content. The next he is fighting for his life and left to fight harder than he ever had to in the ring to get back what he had. Think about that, friend, every day that the Good Lord gives us is "GIFT"!
i remember i was at the 2003 or 4 ring of combat and thats when i first seen koscheck,he was on the card fighting one of matt serras guys, i knew just by the way he moved he was gonna go far in MMA. he just had IT
Wow. Looking at the striking in this fight, man... the fighters of today are miles ahead. And I remember watching this fight at a sportsbar and thinking these guys were great.
Hughes striking was always considered garbage, even when he was champ. He was just so good at wrestling, bjj and ground and pound, that it didn't matter. He was also bigger than most in the division if you can believe it, so he had strength advantage as well. Koscheck was a respectable striker, but by no means elite
Area S4 no disrespect to Josh because he’s a good fighter too, but you’re a biased idiot if you really think that. 33yo Matt Hughes would’ve broke Koscheck down.
@@medicinehatofficial1201 I was not expecting to find a misfit reference randomly like this but I'm happy. WHATS YOUR FAVORITE FANTASY DALE?!?! I KNOW PEOPLE LIKE YOU
Matt boxed well but kos just needed to land that one shot . Sometimes just being the better boxer isn't everything .. some times just winging em gits the job done
Whew that was the drained out welterweight rumble... if they had fought at LHW or HW, which is rumbles walk around weight, it would’ve been a different story
That's a false statement. Knockout power is knockout power. MMA hasn't "evolved" it's just newer fighters in their prime. They get new talent every year that are good in their trained specialties. Chuck Liddell in his prime could still knockout half of these new fighters. You can't compare the past to present. All the big names from 2005-2012 were beasts and the best of their time. People still say Mike Tyson can beat everyone today in his prime easily.
Beastmode GTFOH, that's complete bullshit. The divisions today are trash, when these 2 guys were around there was loads of talent in all divisions and they were all good. The 2005 to 2013 era shits on today's era, not even comparable don't try.
I've always liked Josh. He put out a good show everytime he went in the cage. Remember watching him when all of them were training on tv. Forest, the shytown kid. Pretty cool back then.
The UFC doesn’t but MMA trainers actively scout D1 wrestlers right out of college to get them ready for the MMA. Johnny Hendricks is an example of a D1 wrestler that was scouted out of college and provided room and board by his trainers until he became champ and they could recoup their money with a profit. College wrestlers are the most successful discipline in MMA, look at the upcoming title fight between Usman and Covington, both D1 I believe.
Terry Mason Usman is so dominant with his wrestling I just assumed he was D1. I just recently got into watching collegiate wrestling so I’m not familiar with with some of the wrestlers from a few years back. I guess MMA is more about how you adapt your wrestling than what division you were in, guys like Kevin Lee do pretty well even from a smaller school.
@@fuchboi872 yeah I know guys like Bob Cook go after D1 guys. Seems like a lot of the big name guys are looking to go straight into mma after 2020. Bo, Gwiz, cassar just to name a few.
@@0319T wow I had no idea he was that dominant also didn't realize he was in college that far back but I guess it makes sense since he was an alternate on one of Askren's national teams. Crazy to think Metcalf is already done with wrestling and Usman is just reaching the pinnacle of mma.
Exactly why Glover needs to quit. Next time heights Jiri, Jiri won't be stupid enough to try any flying knees. Time is the undefeated champion. 5 years before this fight Matt would have walked through Koscheck
Yea its weird they dont offer that. Generally I dont mind the commentary but when I hear shit like Cruz saying: By eating these big shots on his face, he is gassing his opponent. I question why they are even commentators.
Yup. That's the kind of thing that happens when you keep fighting past your prime. This is a young man's sport and no one beats father time. But yh a prime Matt Hughes would have wiped the floor with Kos.
Has nothing to do with matt' prime..he doesnt have the tools ro deal with a wrestler who can stuff TD and light him up on the feet,.. none of the people you named were great wres tlers, most bjj. Koscheck beats him 10/10 prime or not.
Fun facts. At 37 years old This would be Matt Hugh’s last mma fight. Josh Koscheck would go on to win one more then lose his next 6 fights finishing in bellator with a lose to Mauricio Alonso in February 2017.
man Kos's record here is 18-5. People don't realize how fucking good he was in his prime all because he ended up becoming a walking punchline. He deserves a lot more respect, he gave us a lot of great fights and entertainment. Yeah he faked a knee and could be a douche bag, but he's not a rapist or a women beater etc. Put some respect on the mans career
Chris you do realize that was way after he retired and after the train accident. He has had brain trauma from the accident. Is it okay still no but it’s not the same Matt anymore. That’s also if it is true as no criminal charges were ever filed. Just restraining orders. Like I said it’s not okay if he did it but it’s not the same person anymore
old schoolish mma was the best, more finishes because there was such a huge disparity in levels. It's not like now where it's a game of inches, ko's/finishes more rare. In the early 2000's you could get a entire card of finishes
Hughes getting dominated in his last fights was too satisfying to watch. ))) BJ Penn 1st minute KO was up there too. KOs sleeping him. And Alves beating him up and KOing him was priceless. Also GPS KO was legendary.
@@espnofficial2969 What fight were you watching? Koscheck couldn't take him down even when Hughes was at the end of his career. Hughes dog walks him in a wrestling match.

Exactly why Glover needs to quit. Next time heights Jiri, Jiri won't be stupid enough to try any flying knees. Time is the undefeated champion. 5 years before this fight Matt would have walked through Koscheck
I hope mat hughes is doing well after all hes been through ...
He's a scumbag. A woman beating scumbag.
And a Gemini
He was a bum
Matt Hughes hitting the world with it’s first circle hand at 13:55... he started a movement
heartbreaking😑 josh deserves an applause for a great performance👏
He deserved boos for being a douche.
Hughes' front leg would get kicked off fighting with that stance today.
Yup!
Another example of how deceiving the commentary makes the matches. I wish we could get just in cage audio
Yea its weird they dont offer that. Generally I dont mind the commentary but when I hear shit like Cruz saying: By eating these big shots on his face, he is gassing his opponent. I question why they are even commentators.
I always liked watching Koscheck, he was a wrecking machine on his way up.
I think he could have been a champion.
He did have plenty of chances though..
Colton k he went on that Fat L streak
Love how Robbie came back to KO Josh Koscheck
dood watch the T woodley KO of Kos. Savage
I liked when Woodley KO'ed Lawler
The biggest struggle of the night...
Getting that sign opened up.
Kos would have never have done that to Hughes in his prime. Matt should have retired after he beat Serra, Renzo Gracie, and Ricardo Almeida.
That's facts
And no one liked his ass😂
Yup. That's the kind of thing that happens when you keep fighting past your prime. This is a young man's sport and no one beats father time. But yh a prime Matt Hughes would have wiped the floor with Kos.
Chris south 82 Who's that ?
Has nothing to do with matt' prime..he doesnt have the tools ro deal with a wrestler who can stuff TD and light him up on the feet,.. none of the people you named were great wres tlers, most bjj.
Koscheck beats him 10/10 prime or not.
Fun facts. At 37 years old This would be Matt Hugh’s last mma fight. Josh Koscheck would go on to win one more then lose his next 6 fights finishing in bellator with a lose to Mauricio Alonso in February 2017.
Funny how Koscheck kept talking about Matt's age and how Matt's the old man. They're 4 years apart LoL.
In terms of MMA, he was old since he was in the sport for so long.
man Kos's record here is 18-5. People don't realize how fucking good he was in his prime all because he ended up becoming a walking punchline. He deserves a lot more respect, he gave us a lot of great fights and entertainment. Yeah he faked a knee and could be a douche bag, but he's not a rapist or a women beater etc. Put some respect on the mans career
Yep. He was a reverse takedown from.beating prime.GSP in their first fight.
I respect the Hell out of Matt hughes I didnt want to see him loose one my favorite fighters of all time!!!
Uhh, He beats his wife 🤨
Chris you do realize that was way after he retired and after the train accident. He has had brain trauma from the accident. Is it okay still no but it’s not the same Matt anymore. That’s also if it is true as no criminal charges were ever filed. Just restraining orders. Like I said it’s not okay if he did it but it’s not the same person anymore
old schoolish mma was the best, more finishes because there was such a huge disparity in levels. It's not like now where it's a game of inches, ko's/finishes more rare. In the early 2000's you could get a entire card of finishes
Koscheck was such a great heel and could more than back it up. Great fight but a tough way to go out for a UFC legend.
Hughes getting dominated in his last fights was too satisfying to watch. )))
BJ Penn 1st minute KO was up there too.
KOs sleeping him.
And Alves beating him up and KOing him was priceless.
Also GPS KO was legendary.
who is GPS?
Racist

What's Koscheck and Hughes doing now in 2020? Can you do a "Where are they now" series of the past fighters.
It's quite hilarious Josh said he's stronger than Matt 😂😭😂
He did knock him out 😂 What fight were you watching 🤡
@@espnofficial2969 What fight were you watching? Koscheck couldn't take him down even when Hughes was at the end of his career. Hughes dog walks him in a wrestling match.
As an Iowa teen I read about Matt Hughes joining the UFC in a NEWSPAPER! That's how old he is. 🤣
