I think it's pretty gutsy to be honest about it. Tim IS a cry baby and he's even too lazy to fulfill his potential. Ok, I admit that Matt comes out a bit arrogant in this segment (written by himself?!) and maybe it is a bit childish to say that he has enough friends. He could've depicted it better, as it is written now he does actually make himself look as the bad guy. Well, why should Matt have to love everyone? I think it’s pretty gutsy to be honest about it.

Whenever somebody says something insulting about Hughes while commenting on his religious beliefs, re-write it in your head as if it were a statement about his race or ethnicity. For example, "Hughes is a douchebag and hangs out with other {Black/Jewish/ Native American/Latino} douchebags." That's very offensive to most people, so why is it alright to be offensive about his beliefs? Just for fun, re-read some of these posts.

Funny, I didn't see any bible-thumping in that excerpt... sounds like he was just being a normal person to me - Christian or not.

Most of us don't for some reason or another, but there's an honest way of saying "I just don't like your personality and work ethic. Sorry, but I just can't be friends with someone like you." and being a total bitch "You're a big crybaby and you're not good enough to be my friend. P.S. Jesus loves me." Fuck him. I liked Matt before I got to get to know him a little (as well as you can from TV at least) He IS an awesome fighter and for that he still retains some level of respect from me, but as a person I think he's shit. Being a good Christian doesn't stop at the church doors. It's a lifestyle and an attitude of humility and treating even people you don't like in a descent manner. I'm not a Christian but even I fit in better with them than he does. If he's gonna keep beating that bible in front of us, he'd better learn a few damn things from it first.

At least he was being honest! Tim IS a lazy POS. Should Hughes have lied and pretended to like him? F**K that! If he's smug it's because he EARNED it. When did Sylvia earn anything?

I'm not sure how you were raised as a child...but I was raised to be a respectful and that's the feeling I get from Hughes....he's all about respect. Tim Slyvia isn't a very respectful fighter..and I can see why he is easily not a likeable guy in the UFC. hmm I have to disagree Wang.

It seems like they have become friends since then. For all we know, the next paragraph in the book could be about how Matt regretted being too hard on Tim and resolved to become friends with him. Yeah...that is unlikely, but you never know. One thing to note in the article from the Sun is that the conversation is from early in Matt and Tim’s relationship.

If he had a run in like that with someone everybody loves, would he have documented it? How about the way he treated GSP on TUF? Wonder if he documented that. I bet there is a whole chapter about how he kicks dogs and beats kittens but he makes it sound honorable and moral.

Tim Sylvia may not be the best team player, well, Matt Hughes just proved he's a better team player, right??? Wrong. If Hughes was such a good team player he should've given the guy that was asking him for advice some teammate support, instead he knocks him down a peg'or'two. I for one think Big Tim probably needed it, but Hughes coulda been a little more humble about it.
