Thursday on the UFC 85 teleconference Fighters.com’s fifth-ranked welterweight Matt Hughes (42-6) announced that his twin brother, Mark Hughes (6-2), will sign an exclusive contract to fight in the UFC.
Middleweight Mark Hughes retired from competition in 2003 after submitting “Lethal” Leo Sylvest (8-25) at Extreme Challenge 51.
“This is something we tried with the previous owners, but they didn’t go for it,” Matt Hughes explained.
No fight has been scheduled at this time.

This is awesome news!
Why did he retire in the first place back in 2003?
This is sweet!
I can’t wait to see who they match him up against
Would him and Matt ever be matched?
