Matt Hughes: “I Have No Interest In Fighting Koscheck”
Matt Hughes
In a recent post by Matt Hughes on his official blog, he talked about last weekend’s UFC 103 event when he was “called out” by Josh Koscheck.
After beating Frank Trigg, Koscheck took the microphone and said he wanted a fight with Hughes next. Hughes was just as surprised as everyone watching the fight by the comments.
“I find Koscheck calling me out kind of interesting and I actually don’t know why he is doing that. I was used to kids doing this when I was the champ, but as you know I don’t have the belt now and I’m puzzled as to why Koscheck wants to fight me and not the champion in the weight class.
I have no interest in fighting Koscheck and, as he was showing everybody, he’s just a kid. As of yet, the UFC has never come to me and asked me to fight him.”
So Hughes is not interested in using one of his few remaining fights on Koscheck, but It’s all up to UFC matchmaker Joe Silva now.

Why wouldn’t he want to fight Kos? He says he wants to take a true run at the belt, Kos or Fitch seem to be the way to it right now. I hope he doesn’t get spoon fed a title shot because he is Matt Hughes. He was a great champ once but he needs to earn his shot like everyone else. Besides, who really wants to see GSP run through him once again?
