    Would you believe it--Hughes doesn't sound like a dick in this interview, refusing to engage in a back-and-forth over Dan Hardy's comments, and even humbly crowning GSP the greatest WW of all time.

    speeds can you give me a run down on why Hughes is considered a dick? I've never looked into it and I got into MMA way too late to know why.

    His infamous autobiography was recapped by Sean mccorkle on the ug some time ago. It details several aspects of his dickishness, including him and his brother beating up their dad, castrating piglets and throwing their hand ripped testes at horrified friends , making out with his future wife when he was in college and she in grade nine, telling Tim Sylvia that he didnt like him and didn't want to be friends, dumping on old Timmy for "following mfs fighters around in Vegas", forcing himself on his wife while she was in the hospital recovering from surgery and ripping her stitches, the list goes on. I think the first Carlos newton fight and his reaction to gsp-serra 1 also colour the public opinion of Hughes.
