I literally could not believe how incredible Matt sounds!

This was 7 years ago. They got me. Way before his accident

Matt Hughes was why I watched UFC for several years. He is MY guy and I loved every fight he had. Everything Matt said about UFC parties to watch with your friends to stop watching because they sold out with too frequent fights is 100% true. He did fight in the golden age of the UFC and he was an amazing champion. What an incredible guy. I wish Matt & his family the very best and to continue staying blessed.

Old interview. You should be ashamed for not disclosing that!

I’ve always loved Matt Hughes and can remember watching his fights back when you had to wait quite a while for a pay per view and just loved his way he went about it and how he carried himself, wasn’t a cocky fighter or a talker.. that man always came to work with one goal in mind your will is not going to outdo my will and he’s such a smart guy and can tell that from this interview on the mindset and how he was brought up like that of the old days an old soul.. love his story

Illinois born and raised. My first job was working on a neighbors farm. Walked over every day at 6 in the morning and fed all the animals. Hard work but id do it all over again. Matt makes me proud to be from Illinois.

The accident was not part of the interview. And Matt sounds great. I believe this interview must have been taped just prior to the trainwreck back in 2017. One of the best welterweights of all time.

Great interview with one of the legends in the sport of MMA!

It's good to see him get back. God bless you Matt

I'm so glad he's still around one of the greatest... Grateful for his story.

I became a huge Matt Hughes fan when I was in the Navy. This is back when the UFC was only in the 30’s. I have followed his career ever since. It’s great to see him make such an amazing recovery.

Great interview!

I'm happy to see this guy has recovered so much his life story would make one hell of a movie..

I’ve watched Matt fight so many times, and now I have even more respect and appreciation for this man, Love ya my friend 👍🌹

wow. the progress Matt's made is incredible. What a recovery!!

Wow! Matt has come along way! Glad to see that he’s doing so well

After watching this video/interview, I now have a new found respect for Matt Hughes. This is one incredible man with an abominable spirit! Matt is a first class individual that is very humble. Now, it's his time to shine as a father and husband! Much respect

Great interview Matt and Joe!

Interesting video on Matt Hughes. Thank you. This interviewer obviously is unfamiliar with actual work. Farmwork can exhaust a newbie in 15 minutes. Hard working men and boys do it day in day out for decades. God bless our farmworkers and their families. 👍🏽

Great interview JB. Matt is a UFC Icon😎

Wow! He’s 100% back! Hard work and dedication Matt

Matt Hughes was an absolute beast!! I hope all is well with him after his near fatal accident😢I had the privilege to watch Matt inside the octagon! The man was/is a true warrior

This interview was awesome

Matt sounds so much better! Put an instant smile on my face to see he’s recovered to the point he’s at! Matt’s a UFC legend I loved watching fight! Best wishes to Matt! Happy to see you in a better place!

I was hopeful that this was recent, and Matt made a complete recovery.. Unfortunately, this was from 2017 before his accident. Now, I'm just happy that he is still alive.

A lot of great memories of the farm.

It's great to hear Matt he has come a long way. He was the best fighter to watch good job Matt💪

Wow... Matt has came a long ways.

Ohhh yes!!!!!Matt sounds like his old self again!!!God can heal any wounds 🙏..Great job Matt,I'm 43,I remember when I was younger,me and the boys would order ppvs to watch Matt.

The mans an inspiration. I grew up in western Kentucky in the 80s doing that farm work. Tobacco. Hay. Farm work made me into a hardworking and mentally tough and strong as f for my size. Matt used this to achieve greatness. The kinda work does breed a kinda hatred for the people who has it all give to them. The funny thing is theat we were actual the lucky ones having to work and learn. Builds strong men. Getting hit by a train. To come back to this. What a triumph. Well done hughes. I would love to train with you. Couple old farm boys

I love how he is now! I remember watching the ESPN documentary and i never would have thought this is how he communicated now.

It’s great to see Matt’s recovery from the accident. He looks great and the medical science he has available to him hopefully will be available to more regular people sooner rather than later

This is the staple for a true family! It breeds a person that knows how to get it done!!!

Hay matt its so good to see you! you are so blessed! I wish you the best!

1st. So Glad Matt seems to be fully recovered 2. I was a huge Hughes Fan!! 3. God Bless

Wow, our boy is back!

Matt Hughes is a savage and a legend. I also really respect Joe Buck. 🙏 Thanks for the interview.

I'm glad to see Matt doing well.

Buck, great interview! Of course, a legendary guest.

So glad to hear that he is recovering and sounds so good. There was an interview a long time ago where he sounded… not well.

Great come back bud!

Absolutely astonishing recovery. Wow

My favorite UFC fighter that entrance to the ring with Country can Survive is the best entrance of all time.

Thanks Matt!! A time in my life when going to a neighboring small town and throwing down was common. The best years of UFC were when you were the champ! Never been so happy when you overcame the Trigg cheap shot and took him out…just wish you could have been on top giving him even more of what he needed!!

Im so excited to see he's doing better. God Bless You Matt .

Wow he's doing so much better. Amazing recovery.

oh wow hes recovered so well! amazing

Love the Matt he has become such a loving talk

Wow! He sounds incredible!! Good for him!

Man... what a comeback. Happy to hear him speaking so clearly. You're a legend Matt. A country boy will survive!!!

I remember this man encouraged me thanks Matt

This is great!

Holy shit! The last time I heard Matt speak he sounded really rough. I can't believe this isn't an old interview. Guess country boys do survive. Got damn!

Such an elegant speaker, humble and yet immensely confident. Great fighter and a great guy. Truly a baby-faced assassin.

Great interview with another "LEGEND!" Get 5 new questions!

Wow Matt Hughes speaks so good now! Im happy he’s recovered from his injury for the most part

Even with the darkness that lives in the shadow of Matt Hughes, he had some unbelievable moments within that octagon, that will always live on. Definitely breaks your heart to learn how he may or may not actually be as a man in general. Staying within his career, I’m grateful to have witnessed many of these moments as they happened. Wish Matt the best and he as an athlete will always be one of my hero’s and on my Mount Rushmore of fighters from what I call the second coming of the UFC. During the era of prime Chuck Liddell, Randy Courture, Matt Hughes, BJ Penn, Matt Serra and the beginning of GSP, Anderson Silva Karo Parisyan

Well damn, I guess Matt is back to 100%. He sounds better than he ever did. Congrats on such a fast recovery.

Wow! Hell yeah, this has me stoked af man. I'm so glad to see Matt's recovery going so damn well. He's such a strong willing mf.

So wonderful that Matt is speaking just as good as he did many years ago! It saddened me that he said his dad never said 'i love you' even though he did.

WOW. So happy to see he sounds exactly like he did before his accident. Absolutely amazing...

A True UFC Legend 👏

Wow, so glad he looks and sounds great.

Age old..but wrestling was more dominant in the old days...this is the best interview by the way...😁👍💯🙏

One of my all time favorites 💪🏻

Grew up w farm kids and wrestlers just in different state. Matt is from same cloth, only better. I understand his work ethic and it’s a great way to raise your sons.

Woah he is getting better ?! Holy crap !

So happy to see matt like this

Wow he is looking and sounding great! Glade to see. He seems like a great guy

Wow. This is amazing

A straight legend right there.. they don’t make them like that anymore.. 💯

Unbelievable but so Awesome Matt

I'm so glad he's doing well

We love you Matt

I agree those were great times, not so commercial ( understanding is a business) But I often remember the times of Rich Franklin, Matt Hughes and Chuck Lidell.

Matt your back .. hell yea crazy seeing superman damaged.

Love the Hughes serra gsp days

Wow absolutely amazing, I haven’t seen him much since the accident. He looks ands sounds amazing 🙏🏽😁❤

I literally had to check when this was made I thought it was pre accident.. Matt’s recovery is amazing

Matt is amazing. What a story

🙏 Nothing but prayers to you & yours ❤

Matt recovered really well. God bless you Matt you are true warrior!

Matt is so cool, what a humble dude 🖖.

wow, he talk so much better now, amazing recovery

Respect to Matt Huges one of the best welterweights in UFC history. He’s a hard working farm guy. Watching Matt fight in the early days helped make me become a big MMA fan. He trained at the Milatich camp with a bunch of killers at the time they were the top camp in mma for having a bunch of top level fighters. The heavy weight champ Tim Silva, guys like a young Robbie Lawler. Pat militich, list goes on. Matt was a clean fighter never did steroids but he fought guys juiced to the gills this was pre usada no real drug testing. He still had a very successful run in the ufc multiple defending welterweight champ. He had some of the most entertaining fights I have ever seen. He fight prime BJ penn, Carlos Newton, GSP, frank trigg a juicedto the gills Thiago Alves. Matt helped put UFC on the Map it’s guys like him that got the sport to the level it is today. Without guys like Matt UFC would of went bank rupt and died that’s a fact.

Glad your doin well Matt your a legend

One of my favorite ufc fighters sad later in life he would get hit by a train hope to see him back to this someday even if he never steps back into the octagon

I'm so happy to see how much he is recovered from his accident this is amazing. He's a beeast, go Matt you are a legend man!!

I Ahab/love you brother Matt! You are a strong man and one tough individual! An overcomer! All praises to The Most High for helping Matt endure!!!

The farm boys i wrestled in high school were the toughest men i have wrestled. In fact, there were 2 men in high school, the same weight and age as my brother and I. We never won a match between these 2 fellas and we met them had lunch and discussed our childhood wrestling practices. The only differences we all agreed on, and is, the reason these guys were tougher than us, was, we ate fast food, shopped at the groceries store, and we had no animals to wrestle with, really, these guys would wrestle the baby cows. Loved my time in this sport.

One of my favorite fighters to live. Matt was a weapon, I’ll never forget when he slammed and knocked out Carlos Newton when he himself was basically out from the triangle.

Im wow awesome homey is back to himself the why he sounds god bless you Matt u and fam

OMG - people need to know about that treatment he had in Columbia.That's amazing.

This guy is tough as nails. Not too long ago he couldn’t walk or talk due to the injuries he sustained from the train accident. My favorite UFC fighter by far. We are the same age and both from Illinois and I’m glad I’ve never came across him at a bar. I used to get in fights but this guy would have tore me apart. I would have liked to see him fight Connor or Khabib.

I seen him aftr the accident, couldn't walk couldn't talk full sentences, this man is a true blessing, great role model, so proud of him

What a great guy!!

I'd pay for my kid to listen to a speech from Matt Hughes in person.

Matt is a gem 💎. God bless the man..

Unstoppable Matt Hughes ❤

Wow. Matt has come a long way since the accident. Testament on how tough and hard he really works
