I agreed with Serra, Hughes was a dick back then as a coach. I think GSP putting him on his ass like no one ever has and Serra calling out in public Hughes on a personal level, and lets not forget finding God,(Im not a very religious person) has really made him channel his energies in a more constructive way. I'm slowly starting to like Hughes again, and respect the way he's been handling his teams loses and them as individuals. Hughes handled it perfectly with Billy, his composure was good. Hughes knows Blake is not going to make it in MMA and despite that he did not treat him like he did Jason Von Flue from TUF 2. Hughes hasn't won me over yet though, but I like what I'm seeing.[/quote] I am with you there, I am warmint to Matt Hughes too [quote comment=”173137″]I was a Hughes hater ever since TUF 2, I’ve always respected his determination as an MMA fighter.

He hasn't even TRIED to tone down the obvious fact that he only cares if he guys win because he wants to beat Serra. He doesn't give a shit about the fighters on his team which is obvious when he tortures them in practice because ONE guy had a bad fight. And don't even get me STARTED on his bible study crap. Hughes complains that he can't let his kids watch the UFC because Serra swears, but I would rather let my kids watch Serra any day of the week as opposed to Hughes. At least Serra acts like a man and you can see he wants these kids to win for themselves, not his team. Beating Hughes is just an added bonus. Except for Mr. "God wants me on Hughes' Team', I'll bet every single fighter on that team thinks Hughes is a complete prick.[/quote] I'm not a hughes nut hugger, I actually like Serra much better... but I'm making a comparison between TUF seris 2 and this TUF seris, EX: Hughes knows Blake is not going to make it in MMA and despite that he did not treat him like he did Jason Von Flue from TUF 2. There are multiple other comparisons.. but lets not get silly. Key words... i said I like what I see so far, and qualifying it by saying I "think" he's sincere this time around (doesnt mean I'm positive). I'm pretty objective with what they show on TV and just take it as it comes and willing to add to my opinion when something telling happens... after last TUF 2 I really disliked Hughes'... he's sadistic. If you can see he's transparent and you're 100%, right, good for you, I'm not convinced... "YET" lol.
