Former welterweight champion Matt Hughes announced today that he has signed a new multi-fight contract with the UFC.
Hughes relayed the news via his website www.matt-hughes.com, but didn’t elaborate on the deal.
“Last week I went out to Vegas and I signed a multi-fight deal with the UFC, which is much like my last contract,” Hughes posted. “They still have to find out who, where and when my next fight will be and I will try to post that info ASAP.”
Hughes last fought and defeated nemesis Matt Serra at UFC 98 in May, and many fans have called for a rematch. However, Hughes mentioned that his next matchup may be a brand new opponent.
“Nothing is decided yet, so anything you might be reading on the internet right now is just rumors and speculation. However, one name the UFC did bring up is a person I’ve never fought before.”
Hughes is a former 9-time UFC welterweight champion and is 43-7 in his professional mixed martial arts career.
