Hume told DJ before the Cruz fight to quit his job because one day he was going to be a world champion. Every fight since that hes shown improvement and I imagine atleast a small part of that has to do with Hume, very underrated coach.

And did anyone notice after the KO Hume called DJ over and told him to calm his celebration down in respect to Benavidez? Classy move.

Yeah he told DJ to not celebrate so hard, but I actually liked how excited DJ was.
 
I agree, Hume is an amazing coach and is incredibly detailed and calculating in his advice for fighters, I can't think of many other coaches id rather have in my corner than him.
 
Yeah i saw that after he KO'd joe that Hume wasn't going nuts like the typical coach, clearly a classy guy who was happy for his guy but not ecstatic to see Joe lose like that
 
yeah he is a nice guy

great coach as well
 
Underrated by you maybe, he's been an established coach for a long time now.
 
its not his fault, but im kinda buttmad over his "win" over paulson via cut

paulson was beating him handily, he got a small cut in the third but the ref was someone who trained with erik and didnt like him and called the fight. youd think matt wouldnt go with it, but he took the win. apparently they had a beer together over it later but most people see the record and dont know the story

Underrated by many actually. How often do you hear Hume mentioned with the other world class trainers? not very often.
 
Imagine Nick Diaz's career under Hume instead of Cesar Gracie

What the fuck are you even saying? That Hume should have protested the stoppage on the grounds that it was probably a personal thing and not a bad enough cut? What an unreasonable expectation to have.

he couldve asked the ref to let it continue, the cut was nowhere near close enough to stop a fight. but he was happy with the win
 
Always a big fan of Matt Hume, not sure why he is over shadowed by other coaches. I am glad he had MM calm down. Act like you are champ At least.


Matt hume will keep Pankration alive. :)
