Mr. Epstein described the fighters as “smart guys, articulate guys, college graduates, helping in their community and making a living in the U.F.C., too.”
I haven't seen one fighter like that in the time I've been watching the sport

You have to research these guys more off the mat then what you see on it. They fight in a tough sport. They have to portray that toughness. It doesn't mean that they aren't smart, or haven't graduated college. Hughes was a collegiate Wrestler; and I believe he did graduate. Wrestlers in college tend to have a higher graduation rate than other sports like football, basketball, and baseball, where guys will come out early and go professional. Most collegiate Wrestlers are there competing all four of their college years. I think Liddel has a college degree, as well.
At any rate, I think that this would be a good move for New York State. The revenue would be great for them, and the city could stage some great fights. Serra fighting in MSG would be awesome.
