UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes is known for his down home mid-western simple man values. He's an outspoken Christian conservative and family man who's been critical of other fighters such as Randy Couture for their lifestyle choices. Now TMZ is reporting that Illinois police want to talk to Hughes about an incident in a bar:
TMZ has confirmed 37-year-old Hughes was named in a police report filed in Taylor Springs, IL ... stemming from an April 23 incident at a place called Trails End Bar and Grill.
According to a source who was inside the bar, Hughes got into an argument with a male bar patron ... which led to some forceful shoving.
Sources tell us ... the woman is alleging Hughes pushed the other man into her ... and she suffered a broken nose in the collision. TMZ obtained a photo of the woman's face taken after the incident.
Hopefully this is all smoke and no fire. Doesn't sound like the Matt Hughes UFC fans have come to know and love/loathe.
Hughes is expected to fight Diego Sanchez at UFC 135.

Could be his twin brother?… lol.
Mark Hughes, athletically gifted but chose to push men into womens noses instead of MMA.
Always wondered why they didn’t train together/both get into fighting. It would’ve been an awesome combo.

They did.
Mark just chose to run the family farm rather than sticking with it.
Well that was a pretty shotty decision. No hall of fame awards there.

So good of you...
To decide that your values system is the only correct one. Thanks for enlightening us.
I never stated I was correct, it was my opinion it was a shotty decision. Hmm picking up cow shit, jerking off horses, and growing crops, working 16hrs, or training, getting in top physical shape and making a shit ton more money while having more time to hunt. Just my opinion ;)

How many people actually make a "shit ton" of money in MMA?
Compare that number with the amount of fighters who gets their asses kicked for a living and are just getting by, suffering brain damage and serious injuries along the way.
More than in running the family farm
He’s still wrong, but just saying.
I've never seen anyone who looks more American than Mark Hughes.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
no ,thats an accident.
And Negligence at best. There was no intent. If matt was just defending himself from an attack and she got caught in the middle its not Criminal.
Hopefully mat covers her bills and flips her some cash. That would be a stand up thing to do.

fights happen in bars.
Its common knowledge. You go to a bar you have accepted that small risk. Imo
Like I said matt should cover her bills and such if its true. I don’t think its criminal. J.snow would be the guy to ask.

Reckless endangerment is criminal. That's not up for discussion, and Matt might be in an even bigger hole 'cause he's a trained pro fighter.

I don’t think shoving a guy who falls backwards into a girl and injures her is reckless endangerment – but I’ve never practiced law or passed the bar in IL

I would say
that people should be able to go to a bar without people getting pushed into you and having your nose smashed. If Hughes really did this, hopefully he will be able to just settle out of court. But it doesn’t surprise me at all.

if Hughes really did push the guy without any provocation, then it’s on him. I would guess this will be settled out of court, and that they won’t press charges.

That’s a valid argument (assumption of risk) but very very unlikely to be accepted by the court in this situation – as Elliot said above, people don’t assume the risk of getting injured in a fight just by entering a bar

Probably wasn’t Hughes; he would have picked the dude up, run across the bar, slammed him and finished it with a rear-naked choke.
Have you ever read his book?
The guy is a certified asshole. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if he shoved a guy around. Hughes is the stereotypical jock asshole.

I honestly don't mean to bash Hughes,
because I really like him as a fighter. But considering that “Made in America” is an autobiography, everything in there is straight from Hughes’ mouth. He is the co-author of the book.
He does not portray himself in a way that I like.

Kid Nate,
you’re the man, and this is why bloodyelbow is the best…. and I mean that in the least-brownnosish way I can over the net.
Outlandish behavior at a bar
is par for the course with Hughes. In his book he talks about ordering a beer and taking a piss right on the bar, instead of walking to the bathroom which is like 20 feet away. And for all the “Good Christian” talk of Hughes, this is a guy who had a child out of wedlock with an ex girlfriend. I didn’t like him on the show, and I don’t the kind of person he portrays himself as.
I really like him as a fighter, but that has nothing to do with how I feel about him personally. I’m not bashing Hughes the fighter, i’m saying that it wouldn’t surprise me if this is true.

It's in his book.
He met this 13 year old girl and made out with her, and he was in college. Then, years later, he knocks this girl up, but doesn’t stay with her because “her hips are too big”. And then she has breast augmentation surgery, and while she’s still groggy and drugged from surgery, he had sex with her and apparently tore some of the stitches.

- Tortured and mutilated animals
- Sexually assaulting minors
- Beat the shit out of guys at their own house
- Beat the shit out of his dad, threatened to beat up his mom
- Lambasting his ex girlfriend for wanting to keep the baby he left her with
- Making fun of Tim Sylvia as an up and coming guy in the gym, despite being one of Tim’s heroes.
- Had sex with his ex- girlfriend while she was still groggy from surgery.
To think that becoming a Christian somehow erases all of that is fucking asinine.

I’m not going to get into some religious debate with you because this is not the place nor is it allowed here, but that is the very idea behind the Christian faith, that becoming Born-Again and repenting of your sins and accepting Jesus Christ will give you passage into Heaven and make you new.
It doesn’t erase what he did, but people change and most all true born-again believers have a complete turn around as to how they act and who they are, not matter they did in their past.
Taking the religious aspect out of it, the penal system has many criminals who serve their time and become “rehabilitated” and re-enter the world completely different people

Well, it's good you think that.
And if someone changes their life for the better, good for them. That said, Matt Hughes is still a monumental dick, and continued to be one well after his wife convinced him to reluctantly join Christianity.
I like him as a fighter, but Matt Hughes is an asshole. It would only be fighter bashing if it weren’t true, and if you read 1 chapter of his book, you would know this. Here’s a pretty good summary of it:

It was the post that put him over as a ‘personality’ on the UG.
Well,
I didn’t know that. The screenname of the poster on Sherdog is something like “Crocop005”.
Doesn’t change the fact that it actually highlights some of the honestly messed up things Hughes himself said he did.

I haven’t read the book, but I remember that thread and from my understanding it was built as a Matt bashing thread. Much of what was said was out of context and/or simply didn’t happen the way it was potrayed to have.
If I recall getting past the first few pages of that thread brought direct quotes from the book which went against the summary completely…
by Empty Thoughts on May 3, 2011 12:38 PM EDT up reply actions
I have read the book,
and like I said, it was exaggerated, but not much. Hughes really did make fun of Tim Sylvia, he and his brother really did beat up his dad, he really did knock up his girlfriend and was pissed when she decided to keep the kid, he really did kill a bunch of baby pigs with his buddies and throw the testicles at eachother, etc etc ad nauseam.

And what I said still stands. Context matters.
- Hughes father was supposedly emotionally abusive to him and Mark. Their attacking him was less their just being randomly violent and more their being pushed far beyond driven.
- His girlfriend keeping a child that he didn’t want isn’t a reason for him to be upset?
- His supposedly trying to have sex during a operation recovery simply never happened.
- etc etc…
Sure from my understanding there are moments in the book that don’t paint him as the best picture even taken in context, but when you use that review as part of your argument you have lost and and all validity already.

As aforementioned,
I only read half of the book before it became unbearable. And also, as I mentioned before- the review is exaggerated, and only picks out the negative passages. That said, none of those things are inaccurate. They actually happened.
I don’t know what book you read, but it definitely said in the book that Hughes had sex with his ex girlfriend the day after she had breast augmentation surgery, and was still on pain pills. She asked him to stay with her.

He was horrible to Tim.
In the book he talks about how he and Jens would always make fun of Tim for being fat. When Tim earnestly went up to Hughes and asked why he was such a dick to him, he said that Tim wasn’t a team player, was lazy, and that he didn’t like him. And he talks about how much he enjoys Tim’s dissappointed reaction.

Also,
the current prison system does not rehabilitate people. The only kind of prison that even comes close are the prison farms, like what they have at Angola. Modern prisons are basically like glorified time out, where you learn by necessity how to be a much more effective criminal from other career criminals.

Thats all in his book? what the fuck lol. I should really pick that one up. But seriously other than the sexual assault (was she really 13?) it just sounds like south western small town times. He’s an asshole, but I still love his fight style and work ethic.
I mean think about all the weird crackhead shit Court Mckee probably did before fighting saved him. Just because he doesn’t talk about it in a book we all brush it off as past days. Could be the same with Hughes and many other sports legends.

If you like Hughes' persona
Then it will only make you like him more. If you don’t, it will make you hate him. It doesn’t have too much gossip, and it doesn’t really tell much as far as the psychology of fighting. A decent read, but it’s really more about Matt Hughes than it is about being a fighter or anything like that.

He’s a hypocrite for criticising people like Couture, when his own life’s been majorly messed up.

Hey now
We have no idea what led up to this, or if it even happened this way.
I don’t know if fighting in a cage for hundreds of thousands of dollars in very Christian either. Unless you include Rome, but they didn’t get paid.

So quick to judge...
It was a Bar and GRILL. Doesn’t mean he was hammered off his a$$ and started a fight in some dive. People love to jump on the Christian thing immediately, Christian’s are flawed human beings, he could have been out having dinner. I bet MMA pro’s have to deal with loud mouth, drunk a-holes on occasion while out in public and like everyone else, they probably have a breaking point. Not defending his actions, but it seems like more than a few assumptions are being thrown around.

He basically said that although he seemed like a decent guy, Hughes didn’t approve of his “actions” (IE past with women).

he basically accused Kim Couture of being a prostitute
in his autobiography
Follow me on Twitter @KidNate
I recall a passage in which Matt said he eventually forgave him
It made me wonder if Randy ever noticed or cared about Hughes’ disapproval.
"Hey, there's some blood in this puke. We could go sharking with that."
So, if a person shoves someone else, and that someone collides with a third person and causes injury, the first person walks away scott free.
I think the woman has grounds to at least sue Hughes for something. It’s not like her case is baseless if what she said happened did, in fact, happen.
It's more than a bit early to be voicing worthwhile opinions here.
For starters it was a Bar and Grill. Something which in my area basically just means a resturant capable of serving alcohol. Hughes could have been there eating dinner with his family for all we know, not having had a single drink. He might have also been there alone having twenty. Nothing is said here to judge either way.
As for he pushing, again it doesn’t say anything as to why. Perhaps he pushed the guy because he was pushed. Perhaps he didn’t push him at all. Or perhaps he got mad and pushed the guy. Again, we just don’t know yet based on this small article.
Just because it is Hughes and people have a mad on for him doesn’t mean everybody should be condemning him already. For all we know it could have been self-defense just as much as it was some form of battery.
Broken nose my ass
Have you seen the ‘after’ pics?
There is a little yellowing on the bridge of her nose and under her eyes. Every broken nose I have ever seen results in bright purple ‘raccoon eyes’, not a little yellow bruising.
It looks more like she got an ‘owie’ and is looking to make a little money off the deal.
What,
you’re banging supermodels every night? Looks pretty normal to me.

If the internet wasn’t the place it is I would gladly post a picture of my girlfriend. That woman above is homely. You need to re-evaluate your standards.
I said she looked normal.
Especially for a barfly with a broken nose. What bar do you hang out at that this woman doesn’t look average?

Nasty pointy nose, thin lips with old lady wrinkles around them and a weird looking face are you serious? Definitely not average looking. And I don’t hang around in bars, I think that is the crux of the situation here. That’s what I should have said. Why is he in a bar? MMA Hall of Famer with three kids shouldn’t be at a bar in my opinion. I’m 24 and I don’t hang out in bars cause this is what happens.
Bar & Grill does not really equal the same thing as a Bar. At least not where I live.

OH MY GOD, her face... it's mutilated!
I expect her to file a million dollar claim for this… Just look at her!! Poor woman, a freak for the rest of her life…

Is that nose actually broken?
All the broken noses I’ve seen look more distorted than that.

wait....how is this different from the Matt Hughes we know
Read this hilariously biased summary of Huges’s Autobiography: Made in America
http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f44/summary-matt-hughes-book-made-america-965216/
“Matt cheats his way through college getting A’s in classes he proudly says he never attended. He and the other wrestlers bully everybody at Lincoln Junior College, and break a bunch of shit. They tip over people’s cars, and flood the dorms on purpose. We reach a new low, when he also makes light of the fact that one of his college buddies could not read or write. He then takes time to bash Frank Trigg, saying that he ‘never became anything.’ "
I referenced that earlier in the thread.
The crazy thing is, I read the book (well, half of it, couldn’t make it through the whole thing it became so unbearable), and that summary isn’t even that exaggerated. Matt explains all this horrible shit he’s done, and honestly seems proud of it all.
