UFC Rumor: Hughes Leaves MFS

Rumors circulating throughout the inner-sanctum of the MMA Community today indicate that Matt Hughes has left Miletich Fighting Systems.

According to the Savage Dog Show on Sherdog, Matt is moving on to train with Ruthless Robbie Lawler in their new gym in St. Louis which is 45 minutes closer to Hughes' residence than the 3-hour drive to the MFS training facility in Davenport, Iowa.

Here's a quick post I caught over at Matt Hughes' Forum by the administrator of the site:

No there are no personal issues, it's a completely amicable split from what I understand. Matt has said many times that he sees only about 1 or 2 more years of him competing in this sport. This gym will not only allow him to train closer to home (a 45 minute drive versus a 3-hour drive), but will help him continue to have a critical role in the sport as a trainer when he retires from active competition.

So, there is no "bad-blood" between him and Pat Miletich, any reports otherwise are simply false rumor-mongering."
