I found some of this book interesting, all the parts Made in America: The Most Dominant Champion in UFC History fighting were really well done, the part that did not come across as all well was Matt Hughes the person. He does come across as a bully at best at worst an ego manic that he has been accused of recently. Then again the UFC does not stand for the Ultimate Friends Championship; Matt is in his prime when he is talking about fighting, and his many victories. Unquestionably Matt is going to be remembered as one of the greatest welterweight fighter of all time, not for his Made in America: The Most Dominant Champion in UFC History of humour. I got a really mean spirited vibe from his sense of humour. All credit to Matt he did not lie or try and make himself look like something he is not. It was interesting to get into Matt's head especially the second BJ Penn fight, from the books version Matt started the fight with Made in America: The Most Dominant Champion in UFC History healthy respect for Penn's abilities, but the way he describes the fight it's self matt seemed to think he was dominating the fight from start to finish, if you actually watch the fight, it looked the other way around, which Matt admitted in the post fight interview "I knew I lost the first 2 rounds so I knew I have to win the next 3". The one thing about this book is Matt's honestly, his attitude is this is what I think and this is what I am going Made in America: The Most Dominant Champion in UFC History do I really don't care how that sounds like to anybody else and as you will find that gets him into trouble and on the bad side of more then one person, he wrote the book the same way. This allows the reader to make their own judgement of Matt Hughes good or bad guy. All in all top fighter. First, let's deal with the hype of the book's immodest subtitle. 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. At his peak, Matt Hughes was a "monster," in the best MMA sense of the word - a one-man wrecking crew who elevated the " First, let's deal with the hype of the book's immodest subtitle. At his peak, Matt Hughes was a "monster," in the best MMA sense of the word - a one-man wrecking crew who elevated the "ground and pound" to an art form. He was scary strong and could submit opponents with punches, arm-bars or chokes. Choose your poison. For example, the dude needs some anger management lessons. So his Dad used to come home in a grouchy mood. So Matt and his brother gang up to beat up the old man. Matt's twin brother was 90 minutes late picking him up, so Matt punches him in the face. Start to see a familiar pattern here? Other unflattering aspects to Hughes are self-revealed. Even when Sylvia reaches out to Hughes and tries to mend fences, Hughes blows him off. Later, though, when Hughes is committed to a publicity appearance on the very day his wife is having a C- section, who does he call to bail his butt out? Tim Sylvia! One chapter briefly covers Hughes' religious conversion to Christianity while on a mission at a Mexican orphanage. Later, in the second fight against Penn, Hughes calls on strength from Christ during the fight and comes back to win ironically, catching and pounding Penn in a hold known as "the crucifix," a bit of irony that I would not have otherwise noticed. The autobiography is still going to be an interesting read for MMA fans. Penn 1. Pierre are interesting. He said as much on the last series of TUF when he mused aloud about having only a few more fights left. He was totally dominated by GSP and tapped out in their third fight in late December One can only hope that we will still see Hughes vs. Matt Serra before retirement looms, as there is genuine bad blood between the two. Despite his waning skills and the rise of other fighters at who clearly eclipse Hughes, he has rightly earned his place in the pantheon of UFC and MMA greats. No one will mistake Matt Hughes for Ernest Hemmingway. On the other hand, I doubt that Hemingway was any good at a flying rear naked choke, a la the kind Hughes whipped on Frank Trigg. I confess to being a big Matt Hughes fan. This book tells you more about the guy, warts and all. It is not a work of great literature and doesn't aspire to be. For the MMA fan and enthusiast, it is a quick and still entertaining read. View 2 comments. Mar 27, Jon rated it did not like it Shelves: non-fiction. One of the Made in America: The Most Dominant Champion in UFC History books I've ever read—non-fiction or otherwise— Made in America is a startling example of professional athletes at their most cartoonishly villainous. Chock full of bullying, animal cruelty, wanton intoxication, and various instances of abuse are fully exhibited in this piece of hardcover bound toilet tissue. There is not a modicum of intelligence to be found in the thing from either the athlete or the ghostwriter. Avoid at all costs. I wish I had. Feb 16, Colin rated it did not like it. I wish I could go lower. I figured why not delve into the topic of UFC fighter biographies. Deep down I believed that maybe a UFC fighters could tell a better story of his life than a blog, magazine, etc. Listen to the words emanating from the mouth of the horse. Plus how the story was told could reveal some insight into the man behind the fist. For no particular reason other than book availability I began the series with Matt Hughes. Turns out I began with the worst book of the three. Matt Hughes can certainly kick the crap out of me and many other people. Hughes, though, writes horribly. Like middle-school level horrible. He does little to shake the stereotype of a dumb jock. Not only is Hughes' style subpar, the stories he tells support his douchebaggery. The guy represents the quintessential tobacco road jock. He apparently has lived through some difficult times. He just poorly details the trials and tribulations, in addition to not achieving -in my foolish opinion- the reasonable outcome. I don't know how much control his editor had in the process of creating the biography and writing this book. If it's more than minimal assistance, the editor should be ashamed. Unlike Liddell's book where I went into the book disliking him and emerged more of a fan, Hughes' book made me dislike him more. The only redeeming aspect of Hughes' life is his mullet.
