Matt Hughes Says His Next Fight Will Be In April 2010

“I have a possible date for my next fight, they tell me that it is April 10th. I’ll tell you later who and where when I find out for sure if it is confirmed,” he wrote.

Dennis Hallman, who boasts two wins over Hughes, has been talked about as a potential opponent, however nothing has been confirmed as of yet.

“I lost to him, but I've gone on and done bigger and better things since then," Hughes said of a potential bout with Hallman last month. "It just seems like I was the only guy he could ever beat. He just hasn't done much except for beating Matt Hughes twice."

Hughes' return to the octagon comes after an 11-month absence. The Illinois native last fought Matt Serra at UFC 98, where he defeated his rival via unanimous decision.
