After surviving a catastrophic accident last year, Matt Hughes was welcomed to the cage by the UFC at Fight Night St. Louis.

Hughes is a former two-time UFC Welterweight Champion and holds victories over Matt Serra, Georges St-Pierre, BJ Penn, Frank Trigg, Royce Gracie, Carlos Newton, Sean Sherk and more.
