08:37 AM ET 08.09 | Matt Hughes is currently on what some would call an improbable three fight win streak with consecutive wins over teammates Matt Serra, Renzo Gracie and Ricardo Almeida. Many had written Hughes off after he followed a submission loss to current champ Georges St. Pierre with a TKO loss to Thiago Alves. Hughes maintains that he is not going anywhere yet but that he isn't sure exactly when he is going to step back into the Octagon. "Not this year," Hughes said of his timetable for return.

I guess Hammell is excited about Matt Hughes possibly fighting again.

Well everybody else is after that fight Sat :)

Hahaha Nice pic of Hamill. Hughes pulled a trick out of his bag that looked on paper to be an easy win for Almeida (size, youth, speed). We'll see him in their with like a Tiago, Kampmann, Fitch, or even an Alves rematch.

well you have to expect that when street fighting tries to become a sport - that really only exsists to sucker you into paying cover or 40+ bucks a pop to watch.

after all the first rule of fight club is to not talk about fight club.

Exactly what i was thinking when i saw this.. Hamill is fighting Ortiz nxt.. should be interesting.. as far as Hughes.. i wouldn't mind him getting a title shot with one more credible victory..

this site is run by chimps....nobody working here noticed the wrong picture....i guess in this day editors dont fit in the budget anymore, si.com is too busy hiring "exciting young talent" hahaha

August 10, 2010  02:12 PM ET

You guys are morons. You don't even see a picture of Matt Hammill when you google 'Matt Hughes'. Did you guys just google 'Matt UFC' to get this picture.

This is embarrassing.

Me and Matt hunting all fall. Can't be doing no training when you're in a tree stand. Got to love it when the older guys win.

August 10, 2010  11:18 PM ET

Maaaaan, this site has become a joke now. Everything is so late and not even right, like look at this, picture of Hamill, not even the right guy.

August 11, 2010  12:34 PM ET

i love how si.com asks us to fill out a survey, probably wondering why ESPN.com kicks their **** in hits....if SI wants to make their site better than this entire truth and rumors section would be a good place to start....I mean seriously, this picture has been up for how many days now without a correction haha.....EDITORS, invest in some

Has "become" a joke? It has been for quite some time. I'm surprised they didn't put Jon Jones' picture there.

How do you know it was the interns and not the editors that know jack about MMA?!!!

August 12, 2010  09:00 AM ET

Good job interns. You offically suck more than I previously thought. You can't even get a picture of the right fighter up there. ****! Morons. I really hope you clowndicks don't get paid.

August 12, 2010  04:53 PM ET

Who is the idiot that wrote this article and put in that picture?

August 15, 2010  02:41 PM ET

SI obviously takes MMA seriously

If this picture is not updated by weeks end I will be changing my home page to the competition. Been a long time SI fan but this is sad. I wonder what would happen if an article referenced Farve but with a picture of Romo. How long would it take to address it. Again, SAD!!!
