Brief History
Matt Hughes without a doubt is the most dominant Welterweight champion in UFC History and has held the belt twice, the first time for almost 3 years before lossing to BJ Penn. However Matt Hughes amoung MMA fans seems to have no grey area between Love and Hate. Many fans love his style of slams and his good ol' country boy roots (he still works on the farm when not fighting or training). Others hate his cockiness and attitude towards other fighters. (a perfect example of that would be offering to teach GSP how to defend an arm bar on The Ultimate Fighter 4). Wethier you love him or hate him Hughes remains a big force in any Welterweight Divsion.
