UFC officials have announced a future bout between Welterweight contender Diego Sanchez and UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes.
Sanchez had been asking for the bout for sometime and his request have been granted. The just announced bout will take place in the fall at a yet to be named UFC card.
“A matchup between two welterweight fan favorites has been verbally agreed to as Diego “The Dream” Sanchez will face former UFC welterweight champion and Hall of Famer Matt Hughes,” said UFC President Dana White. “Sanchez is coming off of a Fight of Night winning performance against Martin Kampmann and Hughes is looking to add another great victory to his incredible UFC career.”
