He took second on TUF and in his first pro fight which was in the WEC against one of their premiere fighters, who supposed to be great in BJJ, in his weight class, Tommy threw him around and knocked him out. Look for it online or somewhere it shows that he has some talent, even if it is raw. I agree with Clint he is young and hasn’t done anything wrong to get such critisism.

The guy was supposed to be one of their best and is all about BJJ and Tommy pushed him around and dominated him and with about 30 seconds left he knocked the guy out. Regarding Hughes I had a chance to meet him at the TUF finale and he seemed like a great guy. My mom and brother got to hang out with him and talk with him during a team hughes training session before the TUF finale and they had nothing but nice things to say about him. So you people who have never met him and have only see the way he acts on camera need to back off. He's a fighter he needs to have an attitude.

That's just wrong. This guy isn't a douche or a bad person or anything. Just a fighter looking to get better and work on everything. And good luck to him. Gosh, so much hate for this kid.

The only one to beat him in the recent past is GSP. That is not anything to be ashamed of. After he wins his next fight, he is going to kill Serra, like he would have the first time. Won’t work?

He has accomplished more than just about anyone in his career. Fan or not, he deserves respect. Very true. He has accomplished more than just about anyone in his career.

No one bitches about Rampage's trademark slams. Granted he has a way better standup game than Hughes, but the running power slam is a trademark of Hughes. I love the slams and I hope he continues to slam fools and pound them out. I'm with ANONYMOUSF*CK, Name 2 WW's that can EASILY get passed Hughes apart from GSP??? and that’s bad because….

Not bad. Those are two P4P best in the world sooooo??? I'm not a huge fan of his but the hate for this guy is ridiculous. Think objectively.

The subs are from RNCs, applied after a slam. Basically he can't win if he doesn't pick a guy and dump him on his head.

I'd also add that whatever physical strength Speers has is better suited for cow tipping than MMA. No, you’re pretty much dead on.
