Calling all Matt Hughes fans — a current coach on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 6 and former welterweight champion has put together a workout video for casual fans to help motivate them to get in shape.
Here’s an excerpt from Matt Hughes Blog:
This past weekend, a film crew came to town and we did a download project for iAmplify and had a great time. I got along with everybody on the set and we used an old building here in Hillsboro, so it was just a really good time. The video is basically going to be my workout just really watered down for the general public. It’s not really designed for fighters, just average people looking to get in shape.
It’s actually not a terrible idea, but from a marketing standpoint I’m not sure if “watered down” is the best tagline to accompany a motivational video.
iAmplify is a subscription-based service that does have a try-before-you-buy option; however, how much the video will cost (if anything) has yet to be determined.
We’ll bring you more details (and hopefully the video) as they become available.

Sweet, hopefully it gives us instructions on how to smack someone in the face with a bible!
it cant be possible…. im first
yay, im 1st
Does the training video come with a free bible with a quiz at the end of it?
hahaha….lol
sorry Griffinfan.
Can’t see this being a best seller after TUF6… Hughes lives in another world if he thinks he can motivate anyone!
Where’s the Matt Serra motivational video!!
Oh well, maybe next time, lol
What a loser
On the tuf topic: I sucks to be on Team Hughes those guys look like crap..
by seeing clips of the fighters..Tommy and war machine make it to the second round..it could be a straight 7 fight sweep.
I’m not counting Tommy out..he still looks to be intact.

I don’t think its such a bad idea. Just about any idea that will make you money is a good idea in my book.
Train with matt hughes on how to milk cows…and how to read the bible….but then use it as a deadly weapon!!!
Hughes is the worst coach ever.
Why would anyone want to train with a guy who will make you read the bible then make you call him a Queen?
I think I know which building that is! (I live 15 minutes from Hillsboro…in Greenville, IL

well i dont know, what he did in trigg 2 is what motivated me to start training mma..there are probably others who he has inspired…you dont have to like the guys personality but what he has done in the octagon is aw-inspiring, he has never been the best at any aspect of mma in the welterwight class, he just knows how to win more than anyone in the ufc..that alone could sell some dvds..even watered down ones

The Matt Serra video is exactly the same, except you have no ability to turn the volume down.
No offense Matt, but given your history as a coach on TUF 6 I think I’ll pass on the opportunity of learning how to get my ass kicked. BONG.
poor matt. He needs some pr help.
1. change your picture in TUF
2. change your attitude.
3. change your personality.
4. Be humble.
“Well I guess I sold this video to the wrong person.”
“You look like you don’t even want to be here.”
“Say you love Jesus! Say it!”
I’m a Hughes fan, but this would have been a better idea when:
A. He was the champion.
B. His team wasn’t getting his ass handed to him on TUF.
Everybody is dissing Matt. Granted, I can’t stand him, but I think this is more of like a workout Video than a fight video. I’m sure he knows how to stay in shape so it could have some usful things in there.
Matt Hughes workout video will give the average person trying to get in shape a hernia or a herniated disc I dont care how watered down it is.
look how the guy preps his fighters before a fight

Houston Alexander did an interview on the radio station I listen to this morning, and despite what you might think from watching his post fight interviews, or his entire persona up to this point, he is a very well spoken, and generally nice, intelligent, and funny person.
He was however, reduced to punching a guy in the arm (the guy complained of crazy pain in his arm, followed by a headache).

You’re absolutley right mate… I was a massive Fan of hughes when i first saw UFC maybe 5-6 years ago, he was un-parralelled in my opinion! Best pound per pound fighter at the time (Correct me if I’m wrong) and definately an inspiration to me back then… as was Tito.
But once i realised what he is like as a person it just pushed me away from him as a fan, I like people to be likeable i don’t arrogant pple. I’m afraid he has it in abundance.
Would i like to train with Matt… HELL YES, he would get you as ready as anyone could for a fight in the cage IMO!
War Machine Looses his fight this week.
As long as mad rubs my head and calls me smart in this video, I will buy it.

If you REALLY just posted a spoiler, you’ll probably, and should be, black listed by mania and unable to post again. That’s just my opinion. Hopefully others feel the same way.
How in the WORLD does my last comment await moderation, yet this one gets right through?

I agree I think this guy should be banned if this is true. I like this season, and I would be mad if you just spoiled it for me.
I just bought TUF 4 that came out today! WAR SERRA!
no not a spoiler……. i just wanna see him loose and they way they are making it look like is that they are showing him most the episode so yea…… the one they show the most seems to loose….

i for one agree, if you post spoilers , you should be blackballed, and that is b.s. Why ruin it for everyone else

OK, my bad. I thought you already knew the quarterfinalists, and were posting a spoiler. The previews looks like War Machine has a lot of mental issues going on. Hopefully Tommy can win, because that would be VERY pathetic if Hughes only has 1 win, and that being Mac Danzig who is possibly “over-qualified for the show” (in his words, and somewhat mine). On top of that, Mac fought the worst fighter in the house, wait, I am not using the term fighter to describe him. He fought the biggest pussy in the house, Joe Scarola.
I’d rather stick a piece of glass into my wang than watch/participate in one of Matt Hughes instructional “watered down” workout videos.
Hughes idea of motivation i shurting his fighters before their fights… IM IN!!!
Matt is a Queen like tool.
The guy with the red hair wins this week on the show for those of you that didn’t find that out already.
It’s not a spoiler, just bet your friend and win some money hahaha.

Joe Scarola would wipe the floor with you buddy
I think you guys are forgeting that the first time he coached in TUF his fighter (joe stevenson) won the whole thing, the second fighter in the finale was luke cummon from his team as well. His problem were the heavy weights in which he made really bad choices from the beginning, but in the end he cornered Rashad to the finale. He is a good coach, but I think his team members did not fully appreciate the opportunity they have infront by training with matt, I guess you have to have character, all his team did was complain about the workouts, if you are an athlete you usually appreciate being worked to the limit as it gets you mentally prepared.
mat can blow me
first off im not a fan of matts,but all you godless fucking retards are stupid for making cracks bout him,believing in a higher power.its shows nothing but ignorance on your part.as far as his team goes,they need to sac up and pay attention.matt didnt accomplish what he has by being stupid or untalented.

Listen up you spoiler-posting douchebags. Posting the results of a show that has not yet aired and that everyone is planning on watching when it airs does not make you cool. It does not make us like you more. In fact, it has the exact opposite effect. It makes us hate you. It makes The Mania seriously consider blocking your IP address to keep you off this amazing site where MMA fans come to share thoughts and opinions on various MMA-related topics. I’m sorry if your lives are so sad, pathetic and empty that you need to make yourselves feel important by revealing the results of a show that the rest of us have not yet seen. If you would like to sit in your parents’ basement and surf the internet all day until you find advance results of taped shows, then giggle when the show plays out exactly as you knew it would then by all means feel free. But keep the information to yourselves and don’t ruin it for the rest of us who only want to block out an hour of our lives each week to watch a show we enjoy.
And if he thinks your not exercising well enough. He pulls a blank dummy into the scene, explains that it represents you,
and then whoops its ass.
