Legend 2 Legend with Burt Watson, Episode 4: Matt Hughes

As the former UFC event coordinator, Burt Watson has seen it all. A beloved figure among fighters past and present, he can tell stories nobody else can. What can we say? He’s a legend.

That’s why he’s got this show, “Legend 2 Legend,” an MMA Junkie feature where Burt and another legend shoot the breeze and peel back the curtain – at least just a little bit.

In Episode 4, Burt sits down with UFC Hall of Famer and former welterweight champion Matt Hughes as they discuss Hughes’ humble upbringing as “a country boy,” the impact of Miletich Fighting Systems on his career, memorable fights with Carlos Newton, Frank Trigg and Royce Gracie, the 2017 train accident that nearly killed him, and more.

You can watch the full episode in the video above.

WE ROLLINNNN!!!
