Hughes vs Gracie Likely for April’s UFC 112 Event in Abu Dhabi

It looks like the long awaited fight between former welterweight champion Matt Hughes and Renzo Gracie will most likely happen in April at UFC 112. The event will likely take place in Abu Dhabi-the first event held in the country.

Hughes responded on his website:

“On April 10th I will be fighting Renzo Gracie in Abu Dhabi. I haven’t signed any paperwork and I don’t think Renzo has either; but I think this fight is going to happen. That’s all I know, serious training will start for me at the new year.”

Gracie’s last fight was against Frank Shamrock in Elite XC. He won after Shamrock was disqualified by a knee to Gracie’s head when he was grounded. This is Gracie’s UFC debut and will be his first MMA fight in almost three years.

Hughes’s last fight was against Matt Serra at UFC 98. He won by unanimous decision. Before that, he lost to Thiago Alves at UFC 85 and Georges St. Pierre at UFC 79.

OFFICIAL: Matt Hughes vs. Thiago Alves to headline UFC 85 event

UFC has announced that the former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes (42-6) and Thiago Alves (14-3) will headline UFC 85 main-event slot vacated by an injured Chuck Liddell.

Dana White:

“Now we will see an explosive matchup between top ten ranked contender Thiago “Pitbull” Alves and two time former UFC World Champion Matt Hughes. Alves is an ATT trained Muay Thai wrecking machine coming off of five straight wins and Hughes is a powerhouse wrestler who was the most dominant welterweight champion in UFC history. These are two of the best athletes in the sport and we are thrilled to bring them to London for the UFC 85 main event.”

Hughes is coming off a UFC 79 loss to Georges St. Pierre for the UFC’s interim welterweight title and Alves most recently defeated Karo Parisyan with a second-round TKO at UFC Fight Night 13 earlier this month which moved him up in 170-pound rankings.

Matt Hughes:

“No matter what happens in this fight, I’ve got Serra next.”

So regardless of what happens, eventually we will (hopefully) see Hughes vs. Serra bad-blood bout.
