- Current and former fighters, including Michael Bisping, Urijah Faber, Alan Jouban, Josh Thomson, and Bryce Mitchell, responded with shock and support in his comments.
- In replies, Hughes joked, “Who says retirement is boring?” which echoes the resilience he showed after a near‑fatal 2017 train crash.
