    Matt Hughes has finally been inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. I haven't been a fan of Hughes since he beat Carlow Newton (he was my favourite fighter at the time :P) and generally doesn't come across to well but nobody can deny he was an absolute monster in his prime. Probably the best Welterweight champion of all time and didn't use his wrestling just to win a decision but used it to finish fights.

    Well deserved. Don't see one last championship run in him but as long as he doesn't get destroyed by anyone I'd be happy to see him fight for a few more years.

    As much as I think about his attitude who can say they have not enjoyed watching this guy in his prime. Absolutely awesome.

    He should have been admitted to the Hall of Fame as soon as the bell rang in his second fight with Frank Trigg if you ask me. Absolute dynamite.
