Matt Hughes: Who Is Old Enough To Fight You if Josh Koscheck Isn't?

Grandma must be dumbing down these days. A lot of what I read about the goings-on in the world of the UFC just does not make any sense to me at all.

For example, Matt Hughes, who will be 36 years old on October 13th, recently signed a contract for six more fights with the UFC, but when called out recently by Josh Koscheck, he stated on his official blog that he didn't want to fight "a kid."

"I find Koscheck calling me out kind of interesting and I actually don’t know why he is doing that," Hughes wrote. "I was used to kids doing this when I was the champ, but as you know I don’t have the belt now and I’m puzzled as to why Koscheck wants to fight me and not the champion in the weight class. I have no interest in fighting Koscheck and, as he was showing everybody, he’s just a kid."

Well, gosh, Mr Hughes, who are you going to agree to fight? Only fighters your age, which would even rule out a rematch with Matt Serra, or do you only want to do battle with the other old guys who have retired and come back to fight? Pat Millitec or perhaps your twin brother, Mark?

Josh Koscheck is 31, Jon Fitch is 31, and Mike Swick is 30. Those are exactly the young guns that I would love to see you fight. I feel each one of them not only has what it takes to beat you, but that each one has earned the privilege to do so.

Somehow, as unpopular as Grandma Dee ideas are, I don't think I am alone in hoping for exactly these three fights, (Anyone out there reading: feel free to chime in on this, OK?).

Since Georges St-Pierre is a mere 28 years old, I would guess he is not on your wish list either, right?

OK. I'll bite, who does Mr. Hughes think would be an old enough opponent to be suitable to step into the cage against himself?

Forgive the sarcasm, but ever since Dana White outed himself and Jay Silva for feeding Roger Huerta "easy fighters," I am wondering how they will handle the former welterweight champion of all time. As a member of the UFC's Hall of Fame royalty, who is worthy of you?

If you are going to be making another run at the title, which I think in your case is very ill-advised, these are exactly the men you will have to conquer to get to the top of the heap. How can you not expect to fight these three? 

See, I knew I must be missing something. Will someone please tell me what it is?
