Hughes has had one of the most impressive careers of any fighter in the history of the organization with wins over BJ Penn, Royce Gracie, Joe Riggs, Frank Trigg, Sean Sherk, and Georges St. Pierre.

skills whether by a high leg kick, i.e. Matt Hughes or deadly strikes. St.Pierre made Matt Hughes look like simple roadkill as he literally ran over the longtime champ in UFC 65. St. Pierre has shown wins over
Frank Trigg, Sean Sherk and Jason Miller were he literally beat them to a pulp.
