ATT’s Thiago “Pitbull” Alves Defeats Former UFC Champion Matt Hughes!!!

June 8, 2008

Thiago put on a tremendous performance over the greatest welterweight Champion in UFC history. 

Despite suffering a bad ankle sprain approx. 10 days out of the most important fight of his career, Thaigo was able to put that behind him and take out Matt Hughes with a flying knee in the second round. Pitbull looked very strong in the opening round stuffing Matts takedown attempts and landing solid strikes from on top. When he did get taken down he was able to avoid any damage whatsoever from the former champ. Round 2 saw Pitbull on the attack landing a beautiful flying knee follwed by stiikes on his downed opponent before referee Herb Dean jumped in to stop the contest at 1:02 of round 2. 

In his post fight speech, Pitbull asked President Dana White for the right to fight for the title! After taking out top ranked Karo Parysisan and now former Champ Matt Hughes it looks like the next step for him.

It must be said that our team has a tremendous amount of respect for Matt Hughes and all that he has accomplished in this sport. He was a great Champion for many years and it was an honor for us to compete aginst him in the main event. Thanks to Matt for taking the fight. He is a champion all the way.

Fianlly, Big Congrats to Thiago on the biggest win of his career. He trained like a madman in preperation for this fight and we are so happy that everything worked out for him. CONGRATS PITBULL WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU!!! ATT!!!!!
