    That's true. I remember back in the day, Michael and ralf Schumacher lost their mother. The very next day they raced, and finished 1st and 2nd

    The brothers were two of the most dedicated professional athletes on the world.

    I would but im only transiting home, I'd of stayed for the weekend if I could catch the fight but i'll be on a cruise the week previous in the Caribbean only comes back the sunday morning so probably wont even see the fight, with the new transatlantic companies bringing cheap travel in I can see myself attending one or 2 events in the states annually now if prices come down.

    Yep it cannot be a bad trip I've a few mates planning on going either way so I'll let you know where they are you can take my spot at the bar :pac:

    Quite cheap going alright I booked the paramount hotel on times square for a few days on the 20th got a decent price through the travel agent, accom seems a rip off when trying to book yourself through the usual websites for Manhattan,


    I'll guess and say Alvarez Dustin rematch be on the card anyways.

    Matt Hughes was in a serious accident when his truck collided with a moving train. Hope he will be ok.

    I might be reading too much into it but it sounds a lot like a suicide attempt.

    Seeing a couple of 'reports' saying he has died but taking them with a grain of salt.

    He was getting paid $1,000,000 A YEAR from the UFC.

    I couldn't believe it. Him and Chuck were on a Million a year as brand ambassadors.

    Hope Matt pulls through and gets the help he needs :(

    I think the wimmins 145 should be thrown out the window but this is the next best thing.

    Latest report - Matt Hughes is in a coma in intensive care. I think that might be relatively standard for traumatic head injuries to induce a coma but it's not good whichever way it's spun.

    It is standard.

    Fingers crossed. He may not have been everybody's cup of tea but he was an outstanding fighter. His second fight with Trigg was the fight that got me hooked on MMA and that clip of him recovering from the groin shot and running Trigg across the cage still gives me goosebumps.

    Hope his entrance music lives up to the claim.

    Latest report, Hughes has regained consciousness. Not able to talk yet but has been able to squeeze hands.

    I think it is the right time. He is in the news and people are holding him to be a great man. Anything but

    Maybe not but it doesnt change the fact people would like to see him recover, not that his family will be on boards or anything but talk about kicking a man when hes down.

    I'm finding it hard to rustle up any sympathy for him sadly, the stuff I read about him years ago just made him seem like such a horrible person

    As far as I recall it wasn't accurate. It was sensationalised and built up to make him sound bad.

    For example the piglet mutilation was not 2 lads tearing the balls of pigs for the craic. They were castrating the pigs with a knife. Not unlike how many Irish farmers remove lambs tails for example. Didn't read the book but I read a rebuttal to that list of crimes.

    Not pleasant, and the fact that they made a laugh out of it and tossed the nuts at each other makes them sound like ass holes. But that's a long way from taking a thrill from slaughtering baby animals.
