Former UFC champion Matt Hughes left the Miletich Fighting Systems team to open his own gym, the H.I.T. (Hughes Intensive Training) Squad back in 2007. On Wednesday, it was announced that former Strikeforce welterweight Jesse Finney has bought the gym and renamed it “Finney’s HIT Squad.”

But strangely, a day before the purchase was made official, Hughes blogged only of a change in management.

“The H.I.T. Squad is going through some changes right now,” Hughes wrote. “I have not sold any of my share of the H.I.T. Squad, but there is a change in management. I know what got me where I am today and I didn’t get here from running a gym. That’s always been somebody else’s job and we’ve got somebody else doing that right now.”
