After surviving a catastrophic accident last year, Matt Hughes was welcomed to the cage by the UFC at Fight Night St. Louis.
Last June, UFC Hall of Famer Hughes was hit by a train in his truck and suffered head trauma. For the first time since then, he appeared on UFC programming in a moving tribute, which you can see below.
Hughes is a former two-time UFC Welterweight Champion and holds victories over Matt Serra, Georges St-Pierre, BJ Penn, Frank Trigg, Royce Gracie, Carlos Newton, Sean Sherk and more.
