Mike Swick And Company Still After Matt Hughes

Well, the only thing I know is that he definitely hasn't stepped up and fought any of us. He doesn't want to fight any of the guys from AKA. He didn't have an opponent when I needed an opponent, he didn't have an opponent when Koscheck needed an opponent and he didn't have an opponent when Fitch needed an opponent. Those are all top-level guys which he could fight, and they would be good fights.
As far as not being worthy of fighting him? That's silly to me. I don't think he beats any of us. I mean, I don't think it would even be a fight. He's a tough guy and he's a very talented fighter. The reason we wanted to fight him isn't because we're picking on him, but because he's a top-level fighter. He's one of the highest-ranked fighters and one of the most accomplished fighters in the UFC. It's out of respect that we wanted to fight him. If he doesn't think we're in his league, that's kind of crazy to me, because I don't think he could beat any of us. I just don't think he could beat us. Maybe he knows something we don't know.

I agree with the AKA guys that Hughes couldn’t beat them now. My thing is: What would that victory mean for them, though? I’ve mentioned before that I thought Matt is way past his prime. If they beat Matt from five or six years ago that would be an awesome win. The Matt Huges of 2010? I guess I’m not understanding the obsession.

In terms of building careers, even though Hughes might not be the top-ten monster he was, he’s still a good fight for them. If I could pick a fight with a dude I was sure I could beat, and it would put millions of eyes on me, I’d want the fight too. Everybody involved is pretty dillusional here, really. They think that he’s still a top-ten fighter, which he isn’t, and he’s saying that he’s a nobody now, which he isn’t.

At the end of the day what I really want to happen is for him to nut up and take a fight, and for them to realize that he doesn’t want to fight anyone who isn’t a “somebody”. The only one in AKA that should really be shooting for a fight is Fitch, because he needs that “something” to put him over the top for another title shot.
