Matt Hughes is one of the most dominant champions in the history of the UFC. He is now left in the unfamiliar position of fighting in a non-title fight. In his last bout, Hughes lost his title to Georges St. Pierre at UFC 65 in November. Hughes will get his chance at redemption against St. Pierre in the future, provided he can defeat Chris Lytle on March 3.

CHRIS LYTLE

From: Indianapolis, IN

The Ultimate Fighter 4 welterweight runner-up, Chris Lytle has over 30 professional fights on his record, but this is arguably the biggest fight of his career. Disappointed after dropping a split decision to Matt Serra in the TUF 4 finals, Lytle needs a big win to show he belongs among the elite fighters in the UFC.
