Matt Hughes doesn’t see why Ricardo Almeida wants revenge, but he’s not in a position to second-guess
matchups.
Hughes, who was recently inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, on Tuesday
told MMAjunkie.com that his upcoming fight with the
“Big Dog” was put together after Hughes’ most recent victory over
Almeida’s longtime teacher, Renzo Gracie, at UFC 112.
“[Almeida] asked for the matchup right after I beat Renzo,” Hughes said.
“He’s wanting to get some payback, which is whatever. Whatever he wants
to fight for, I don’t care.”
