Hughes Officially Retires! And apparently has taken a job as a "UFC Executive."

[SPX]

Well, RIP Hughes's career, but it was clearly time. If he kept fighting top guys he was going to keep getting his ass kicked.

But he was the man at WW before GSP came a long and was kind of the first "modern" UFC champ. So respect.

Would have liked to see him get a easy win to end his career

[SPX]

Seems he should have. If he had asked Dana for a gimme fight I'm sure he would've gotten it. Something else kind of like the Renzo fight.

Him vs Matt Serra would've been a good retirement fight for both

[SPX]

Yeah, but they already did it.

[Svino]

I wanted to see him in a rematch with Dennis Hallman.

[SPX]

That really should've happened actually.

In fact, I think you nailed it. Hughes v Hallman. Perfect retirement match.
