Koscheck claims the UFC is protecting Hughes
2 months ago
In a new interview with Adam Morgan of FiveOuncesOfPain.com, Josh Koscheck expresses his desire for a fight with former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes while at the same time claiming that the UFC protects Hughes:
Adam Morgan: In our last interview you mentioned not liking Matt Hughes. Would you be interested in a fight against him down the line?
Josh Koscheck: Yeah,
you know, I think that’s a fight that fans would want to see. He’s
supposed to be the best wrestler and on paper I have better
credentials, he’s won more championships than me and he’s been a hell
of a fighter and it’s a fight that the fans should see. I fought
Georges St. Pierre for the number one contender and he beat me and now
he just beat Matt Hughes so now that fight makes sense.
Matt Hughes is probably saying “why would I want
to fight him, I have nothing to gain,” but he would have a lot to gain
from the fight because it would be to see who’s the best wrestler in
the welterweight division. I just think it’s a fight that the fans
would like to see. I think he’s on his way out and I’m on my way up so
I don’t even think he’s going to give me the time of day to step up.
The UFC kind of protects him a little bit because he is a nine time
champion and they don’t want to see a guy like myself who’s coming off
The Ultimate Fighter, who’s been in there, won a couple fights and lost
a couple fights beating one of their more well known guys.

Hughes says he will keep fighting
4 months ago
Adam Morgan of FiveOuncesOfPain.com writes that former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes said in a recent radio interview on 700 WLW in Cincinnati that he plans to keep fighting:
“Yes, I am. I can’t go out on a loss like that. I’m too much of a
competitor. I’m 34 years old, my body’s actually extremely healthy from
what I’ve done my whole life. If you look at it, Chuck Liddell, I think
he’s 37 or 38, Randy Couture’s close to 43 and he’s called the most
dominant heavyweight right now. So if you look at the timeline, I’ve
got plenty of fights left in me.”
