Matt Hughes‘ eyes are open and he is off his ventilator according to Pastor Jim Hayes of St. James Baptist Church in Hillsboro, Illinois.
Pastor Jim, however, still said Hughes had a long way to go, even though he had improved a lot. He was injured back in June when his truck collided with a speeding train.
Hughes is a UFC Hall of Famer and two-time Welterweight Champion.
He is also the only one to force the former champion to submit. He is second only to St-Pierre in UFC welterweight title defenses.
