Matt Hughes: 'I just don't see the need for a [fighter's] union'

Count Hall of Fame fighter and former UFC champion Matt Hughes among those who doesn't think UFC fighter's should form a union.

The UFC's VP of Athlete Development and Government Relations was one of the guest stars — along with current UFC fighters Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Neil Magny — at Friday's Q&A in Hamburg, Germany, for UFC Fight Night 93. When a fan asked him about a fighter's union, Hughes, as he was wont to do in throughout his fighting career, didn't mince words.

"I'm not a union fan, bottom line," he said.
