Man this breaks my heart to see him like this. I watched this man as a kid and he looked unbeatable to me at one point. It really opened up my eyes to see how vulnerable we are as humans and we should never take anything for granted. Also this man has given me so much strength to see how much he’s improved over the past 4 years. I love you Matt ♥️

I can't believe how much better he's doing. I don't know how I could of expected anything less. Such a fighter. In every aspect of his life.

Man I didn’t know anything about this. I’m in shock. This guy was one of the best to grace the ufc. So sad but I’m glad he’s still with us.

He was a significant part of UFC being established globally. An amazing fighter and its heartbreaking to see him this way. He will preserve in Matt Hughes style and break through. What a turnaround in just 4 years. He's Top Gun

I knew about his accident, but I never knew the extent of his injuries. He was a great champion, and he always will be. Will always be in your corner, Matt.

One of the Huge Matt Hughes fan. Glad he’s progressing. If Matt’s ok, we should be thankful we can still be blessed with his presence. A true fighter inside that octagon and especially out. Keep it up Matt. Country boy definitely can survive brother. Keep it up.

I had a cranial abcess a few years ago. By the grace of God, I had nowhere the amount of damage that matt had, but things were kind of tricky for a few months.
This story was very uplifting to me. Never give up champ.

[charleswhite]

This is heartbreaking. He was my hero as a kid training in mma. He is not only a great fighter but a good man. He has done so much for his community and the youth in mma.
