Ultimate Fighting Championship hall of famer Matt Hughes on Jan. 24 announced his retirement from active competition, along with plans to assume a new role within the organization’s front office.
UFC President Dana White revealed that the promotion will implement a formal, written code of conduct for its talent moving forward. Part of Hughes’ responsibility as vice president of athlete development and government relations will be to serve as a mentor to fighters on the UFC roster and make sure they comply with the code.
Hughes last competed at UFC 135 in September 2011, when he was knocked out by Josh Koscheck at the Pepsi Center in Denver. No fighter has won more fights (18) inside the Octagon than Hughes, and his 25 appearances rank second on the all-time list, trailing only... Read More -

The Nevada Athletic Commission on Tuesday granted Alistair Overeem a fight license, clearing the way for the Dutch heavyweight’s high-stakes meeting with Antonio Silva at UFC 156 on Feb. 2 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Overeem last appeared before the commission in April, when he received a nine-month suspension due to a failed March 27 drug screening. The “Demolition Man” subsequently agreed to five voluntary drug tests between June and November and had also submitted to NAC-administered tests on Nov. 16 and Dec. 21. All results were negative.
The 32-year-old Overeem has not lost since September 2007, posting a record of 11-0-1 in his last 12 bouts. He last fought at UFC 141 a little more than a year ago, when he stopped former World Wrestling Entertainment superstar Brock... Read More -
