I never meant to lead you to think that Hughes was like Tito, he's not, but I think he has definately seen what TUF did for Tito and Tito's reputation/fan base. Hughes knows he's an arrogant a$$ but it seems that he is trying to be a better person this go round. For example, the "heart to heart" talk he had with his team about only having 2 or 3 more fights left and giving the "new" guys a peek into his internal feelings and outlook on things from his point of view. You can't teach that stuff, you can only experience it and pass it on. He had the one-on-one with Dorian about the "big picture". Also, the way he offered a bible lesson to the team - he didn't force anyone to read, but encouraged them. I think the lesson was not about trying to bring anyone to God, but about the story. I think he meant to get his guys in the proper frame of mind, to prepare them for the upcoming weeks of training. I guess what I am trying to say is that Hughes is trying to pass on the "intangibles" of his experience as well as the physical training. He is in no way doing as good a job as Tito did, but compare this TUF with the previous TUF he coached and he is a changed person in that respect. I can respect that from Hughes.

Oh, and I never said Hughes was a great coach. He put his team through hell after the 3rd defeat because that's all he knows - hard work. Some people can teach and others can't. Tito was a great coach, I don't think they've had anyone better.
