Matt Hughes

Matt Hughes

Wann und warum hast Du mit dem Training zum Profikämpfer begonnen? Ich kannte die UFC aus dem Fernsehen, dachte aber nie, dass ich mal dort kämpfen würde. Ein Freund brachte mich auf die Idee, professionell zu kämpfen, und ich trat zunächst bei kleineren Veranstaltungen auf, bevor ich zur UFC kam. Es war nie mein Ziel, aber ich tue mich in sportlichen Dingen leicht, und so wurde ich zum UFC-Kämpfer.

 

Welche Ränge und Titel hast Du bereits gehalten? Zweimaliger UFC Weltergewichtsmeister, zweifacher Landesmeister an der Hillsborough High School, in der High School war ich auch All-American. Im Studium war ich dann viermaliger All-American am Lincoln Community College und an der Eastern Illinois University. Mittelgewichts-Advance Champion in den Grapplers Quest West Championships im Jahr 2002. Coach in der zweiten und sechsten Staffel von The Ultimate Fighter.

 

Hast Du irgendwelche Vorbilder? Pat Miletich und Dan Gable.

 

Was ist Deine Lieblingstechnik? Jedwede Form von Grappling.

 

Was bedeutet es für Dich, in der UFC kämpfen zu dürfen? Ich bin auch mit Mitte 30 noch ein ehrgeiziger Wettkampfsportler. Bei jedem meiner Kämpfe habe ich meinen Spaß, und es wird noch mindestens ein weiteres Jahr dauern, bis ich in den Ruhestand gehe.

 

Hast Du studiert – und wenn ja, welchen Abschluss hast Du? Kunst-Vordiplom am Lincoln Community College.

 

Als was hast Du vor Beginn Deiner Karriere als Profikämpfer gearbeitet? Ich arbeitete als Elektriker, auf dem Bau und als Landwirt.
