Ok, I think there is a lot stupidity in this section reguarding his coaching skills. I want to know how many people that think he is to tough on his guys have ever wrestled or played football or even fought. I gave up in a wrestling match once, only once. My coach made me run and run and run while he was yelling at me then he made me wrestle him(kicking my butt) then do drills and so on and so forth. For a week this went on. when the end of the week came around he took off to the side and told me to put out in all my matches or quit. I gave up in a sparring session at boxing one day and the gyms head coach came up to me and said in that short black guy sort off way that if it happened again to find another gym because he would not let some quitter represent his gym. Matt Hughes has been doing this for a long time, he picked people he thought would fight and they just did not do it. He has proven to be a very nice guy. How many of you have ever been in that type of TEAM to win

I'm sorry brick. let me rephrase. have you been on a team. have you let your coach down or been a coach that has been let down. this is a team with a leader not just one on one

I think your a little to long winded.
any ways I've always like Hughes. one of my friends just started liking mma. he hasn't heard of these guys before this show and he thinks serra is a loud mouth @ss. he thinks hughes is to nice. I don't think you'll get many hughes haters answering this.
brick top who in mma is respectful all the time every one has to do what they have to do to prepare for a fight. some people have to be that way to fight. every one in top level thinks there a better fighter then who ever thier fighting.so there always going to say stuff and talk bad. even gsp talks crap

Most good coaches-but not all, can usually shift gears in the way they talk, present things and the level of those things to fit the athlete's experience level and what first needs to be accomplished and then build on that to increase that athlete's skill and abilities. Along with that the mental aspect needs to be addressed and good coaches can usually handle that aspect as well and increase that athlete's understanding, motivation, and performance when and as it is needed. Some coaches work better with experienced fighters than inexperienced fighters and that is partly the case with Hughes. The communications and coaching skills that he uses go over most of his fighters heads and they fail to grasp some of the things that he is trying to do with them and help them to achieve. Besides this you can also see from some of the mistakes that his fighters have made that they lack experience and then he turns around and compounds the problem further by disrespecting them all in general. I think Hughes is a better coach with an experienced fighter one-on-one than a team coach. Serra on the other hand is both a one-on-one coach and relates to his fighters on that level as well as on the team level and there is also a little more of an experience factor there on his team.
