Hey Guys,
So here's what happened. I'm a huge fan of Matt Hughes. I'm a country boy myself and I think he's a really exciting fighter. I'm also a very spiritual person. Anyways, I met Matt at a meet and greet last week and things went well for the first few minutes. We talked about his early fights (i.e. his pre-ufc fights - yes, I'm a big enough fan to track them down) and what it's like trying to make a name for yourself at the small shows. We talked about Christ's influence in our lives. We talked about high school wrestling. In other words, I think Matt was really starting to warm up to me. Anyway, I'm a pretty muscular guy and I feel my chest is a standout feature. So after the conversation, I asked Matt to sign my chest. He kinda paused for a sec; I think he was waiting for me to say I was kidding. I wasn't kidding so there was around 15 seconds of awkward silence. Finally, he says "I guess I took you for a different kind of guy" and he walks away very abruptly. I take off my t-shirt (I had an undershirt underneath) and kind of follow him. Then he looks back and says in a very stern tone "stay the fuck away from me." I don't really know what to make of this. Did I do something inapropriate? I mean everyone was asking him for autographs.
