Former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes has suffered another serious injury, losing part of a finger. This latest setback comes nearly nine years after Hughes was involved in a devastating 2017 accident that caused bleeding in his brain and required him to essentially relearn how to live. The UFC Hall of Famer has faced numerous health challenges since that near-fatal incident. Details surrounding how Hughes lost the finger tip have not been disclosed in the post. Hughes is considered one of the greatest welterweights in MMA history with 45 wins in his professional career.
