If you know anything at all about mixed martial arts and the UFC, then you know the name Matt Hughes. It's biggest appeal is to see the MMA world from Hughes' perspective, although a lot of it I nearly stopped reading this book because I could barely get through the horrible beginning. Matt discloses his most private thoughts and feelings during both his epic victories and his crushing losses. To see what your friends thought of this book, please sign up. He is generally a good sportsman, and I really appreciate that. This was a good read, but the quality of the book was very cheaply made and all the pages fell out. Whereas every year's top eight graduating college football players become instant millionaires, Matt got to stay on as assistant wrestling coach, doing electrical work on the side for fourteen dollars an hour. Mar 29, Jason Wampner rated it really liked it. For the MMA fan and enthusiast, it is a quick and still entertaining read. This book confirmed what I already suspected: Matt Hughes is a prick. Matt tended to focus much more on his personal life which really made me like this book less and passed over his fights with fairly light coverage. One chapter briefly covers Hughes' religious conversion to Christianity while on a mission at a Mexican orphanage. When their respective careers have ended, there is little doubt that - as great as Matt Hughes was - Couture's legacy will overshadow that of the dude from Hillsboro.

  • Cultivating Identity and the Music of Ultimate Fighting
    CULIVATING IDENTITY AND THE MUSIC OF ULTIMATE FIGHTING Luke R Davis A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2012 Committee: Megan Rancier, Advisor Kara Attrep © 2012 Luke R Davis All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Megan Rancier, Advisor In this project, I studied the music used in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events and connect it to greater themes and aspects of social study. By examining the events of the UFC and how music is used, I focussed primarily on three issues that create a multi-layered understanding of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters and the cultivation of identity. First, I examined ideas of identity formation and cultivation. Since each fighter in UFC events enters his fight to a specific, and self-chosen, musical piece, different aspects of identity including race, political views, gender ideologies, and class are outwardly projected to fans and other fighters with the choice of entrance music. This type of musical representation of identity has been discussed (although not always in relation to sports) in works by past scholars (Kun, 2005; Hamera, 2005; Garrett, 2008; Burton, 2010; Mcleod, 2011). Second, after establishing a deeper sense of socio-cultural fighter identity through entrance music, this project examined ideas of nationalism within the UFC. Although traces of nationalism fall within the purview of entrance music and identity, the UFC aids in the nationalistic representations of their fighters by utilizing different tactics of marketing and fighter branding. Lastly, this project built upon the above- mentioned issues of identity and nationality to appropriately discuss aspects of how the UFC attempts to depict fighter character to create a “good vs.

  • Octagon™: the Exhibition
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Amy Schmidt, (702) 810-0685 [email protected] MCQ Fine Art Advisory and Ultimate Fighting Championship® Present Octagon™: The Exhibition Photographer Kevin Lynch captures the intensity of mixed-martial arts on film (May 12, 2008) Michele C. Quinn Fine Art Advisory and Zuffa, LLC, owner of the UFC brand, are pleased to announce the opening of Octagon: The Exhibition, a show of more than 20 chromogenic prints culled from the limited-edition Octagon book published by Zuffa, LLC, and powerHouse Books. The exhibition opens Memorial Day weekend in dual exhibition spaces; the MCQ Salon located at 620 S. 7th St. and Soho Lofts located at 900 Las Vegas Blvd. S. A photographic narrative of Ultimate Fighting Championship®, Octagon dramatically documents UFC’s mixed martial arts fighters moments before, during and after their intense matches in the Octagon™. Los Angeles-based photographer Kevin Lynch was given unprecedented access behind-the-scenes of this hugely popular sport over a four-year period in order to capture the rawness of the fighters and their fights. Lynch used a globe light in order to best emulate locker-room light—“it’s not really a flattering light,” says Lynch, “but it’s a very honest light.” While Lynch had the blessing of UFC owners Lorenzo Fertitta and Frank Fertitta III as well as President Dana White, when he was in the locker room it was clear that he was on his own. Eventually he gained the fighters’ trust and respect; still “the hard part was to get the ‘after’ pictures from some of these fighters,” adds Lynch.

  • The Significance of Eastern Martial Arts Disciplines in British Men's
    This is an Author's Accepted Manuscript of an article published in ASIA PACIFIC JOURNAL OF SPORT AND SOCIAL SCIENCE, vol.1, nos.2-3, 2012, copyright Taylor & Francis, available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/21640599.2012.751170. Western men and Eastern arts: The significance of Eastern martial arts disciplines in British men’s narratives of masculinity Alex Channon Department of Secondary Education, University of Greenwich, London, UK Corresponding Author: Dr. Alex Channon, School of Education, University of Greenwich, Mansion Site, Bexley Road, London SE9 2PQ Tel: +44 (0)20 8331 8255 Email: [email protected] 1 Western men and Eastern arts: The significance of Eastern martial arts disciplines in British men’s narratives of masculinity Previous Western sociological research on Eastern martial arts has identified a tension between ‘traditional’ Eastern forms of practice and ‘modernised’ Western methods of training and competition. Particularly, the ‘sportisation’ of Eastern styles, where combat-centred arts based upon moral philosophies have transformed more or less into competitive activities following Western models of rationalised sport, has been an important theme. However, it is also suggested that Eastern martial arts hold special significance in the West for their seemingly esoteric nature. In this regard, such martial arts are considered significant because they are not ‘sports’, but rather disciplines with fairly different connotations for practitioners. Drawing on interview data, this paper explores how Western practitioners of Eastern martial arts articulate this difference, principally by examining the place of martial artistry in British men’s narratives of masculinity. Comparing themselves favourably to assumed, typical visions of Western sporting masculinity, such men draw upon the imagined uniqueness of their martial arts to construct a sense of moral superiority over other men.

  • Hall of Famer Matt Hughes Joins Ufc Front Office As Vice President of Athlete Development & Government Relations
    HALL OF FAMER MATT HUGHES JOINS UFC FRONT OFFICE AS VICE PRESIDENT OF ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT & GOVERNMENT RELATIONS Las Vegas, Nevada – Matt Hughes, the legendary Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) Hall of Famer and former two- time welterweight champion, officially announced his retirement from UFC competition today. He has eagerly accepted a new role as he joins the organization’s front office, taking the newly created position of Vice President of Athlete Development and Government Relations. To coincide with this appointment, UFC has also created a clear set of athlete guidelines, or Conduct Policy, memorializing the values long held by the organization. As ambassadors of the sport and the organization, UFC athletes have always been held to a high standard. The UFC recognizes that athletes face both professional and personal pressures, and with health and safety paramount, the Conduct Policy coupled with the new resource Hughes will provide in his role, best positions UFC athletes for a successful career and post- UFC future. “Hughes will be an invaluable resource for UFC athletes,” Lawrence Epstein, UFC COO, said. “Leveraging the background and expertise he gained over a Hall of Fame career, Hughes will be dedicated to providing guidance on a wide range of issues athletes face inside and outside of the Octagon®. This includes understanding the heightened social responsibility that comes with being in the public eye, to best practices when dealing with endorsements or managing finances, to the basic daily challenges of staying healthy during training, as well as the need to steer clear of illegal and/or performance- enhancing drugs. In addition to his work with UFC athletes, Hughes will engage with state athletic commissions and international federations to provide regulatory insight from the perspective of a professional athlete.” “This is something that the UFC is implementing because they really care about their athletes,” Hughes said.
