Matt Hughes says ' i'm Fully retired '

In an interview with the Iowa Daily Gate, Hughes said:

“I’ve not announced my retirement, but right now it looks like I’m fully retired. The UFC still treats me well so I can be retired. It’s just funny, when God puts you on a road, you don’t know where you are going. I have all the faith that he put me there, and I have to thank him from that.”

 

“I do train a little bit. When B.J. or Robbie Lawler need a little help, I’ll go and help them train. That’s about it. I love to train, but as far as having a gym where you have to live in it, I would rather live with my family. I want to raise my kids more than coaching. I do some stints on coaching, but I’ve got other things I want to do.”

 

Hughes has suffered  back-to-back first round TKO losses at the hands of B.J. Penn and Josh Koscheck.
