World Welterweight Champion, Matt Hughes, is perhaps the greatest welterweight fighter of all time. He has defended his title successfully 8 times against a "who's who" list of challengers, including BJ Penn, Frank Trigg, Hayato Sakurai, Carlos Newton, and his UFC 65 opponent, Georges St. Pierre. Hughes defeated BJ Penn at UFC 63 after St. Pierre was forced to pull out of their scheduled contest due to injury.
Hughes plans to prove he is the best pound-four-pound figher in the world by defeating St. Pierre again at UFC 65. |
GEORGES ST. PIERRE

Canadian Champion, Georges "Rush" St. Pierre has been fighting for a rematch with Matt Hughes for nearly two years. He has dismantled everyone in his path, including Frank Trigg, Sean Sherk, and BJ Penn. Despite having to withdraw from their previously scheduled fight in September, St. Pierre is 100 percent ready and feels it is his time to shine as the new Welterweight Champion of the World.
Many believe St. Pierre is the future of the welterweight division. But, St. Pierre wants to show the world the future is now.
