Sam Hughes becomes emotional after UFC Vegas 104 Win

Sam Hughes could not score scary Ko like the first two female winners on UFC Vegas 104.

The strict weighter had to grind a split victory on Stephanie Luciano on the UFC Apex.

Then she spoke with UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping, who had a brutal reaction when a hunter questioned his commentary skills during an uncomfortable interview after the fight on Saturday evening.

'Sampage' almost burst into tears when Bisping asked her to Fortis MMA head coach, Sayif Saud.

With the help of Hughes, the respected MMA trainer took his 100th victory as a coach.

“He believed in me when I came to Fortis 0-3,” she said, trying to swallow the lump in her throat.

“I'm a bit emotional. You know, many people have counted me. I counted myself, but he told me that I was great in the gym on the first day.

“So a lot of credit goes to him. A lot of credit goes to Charles Byrd. Thanks guys. “

What is the next step for Sam Hughes?

As Hughes said, her UFC career started with three consecutive defeats that led to a change in the gym.

Since then, the 32-year-old things have turned around by winning five of her last seven fights.

Now she is on an undefeated streak with two fights so that she looks at the strowing top 15.

Zhang Weili defeated Tatiana Suarez on UFC 312 last month to strengthen her place as the best 115 pound hunter in the world.

Hughes is a path of challenging the Chinese superstar for UFC Gold, but she is now able to climb the ranking without worrying that a setback could see her run in MMA's most important promotion.
