Matt Hughes Says UFC Is Too Commercial Now

In an interview with Undeniable with Joe Buck (via MMA Junkie), Matt Hughes had some complaints with the UFC’s schedule, claiming it is too commercial now. Here are highlights:

On the modern UFC: “I think it’s too commercial. They’ve got fights darn near every week (on) one of the three channels they’re on, and I think it’s too commercial. I am so happy that timing worked out for me where I fought when I did. I really think that I fought in the golden ages.”

On the golden ages of UFC: “I started at UFC 22, and I don’t even know what my last one was – around (UFC) 110 or 115 or something – but I think I was in the golden ages. It was when people got together to watch the UFC. It wasn’t – because they’re so often now.”

On having a fight card every week: “They’re just not as special.”
