Matt Hughes takes a jab at Chuck Liddell's made-up UFC executive position

speeds · Sep 22, 2011

Matt Hughes isn't ready to retire. He said as much at the UFC 135 presser. He wants to fight until he turns 40, or slightly sooner, then retire. Then he wants to get paid.

I really don't like Mah-2's at all but I think he is spot-on here.

And while Hughes insists the result of Saturday pay-per-view co-headliner will not prove the determining factor in his choice, the former champ said that UFC president Dana White's recent offer of a job where Hughes could "stick around and get paid to do nothing" is pretty appealing.

"Maybe one of those Chuck Liddell jobs?" Hughes asked MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) with a smile. "Who doesn't? You don't want a paycheck? It does appeal to me.

"There's a tight group of guys – Chuck, me, Forrest Griffin is probably in there, too, and there's a probably a couple of other guys – that have been good to the UFC. I think we're going to be fine. No matter what position I was in financially, the UFC is always going to make sure I've got food on the table and clothes on my kids' back."

So far the extent of Chuck's job seems to have been a) mock Tito Ortiz in a YouTube video and b) stare blankly at the camera at the UFC on FOX presser. Sign me up, too!
