Fighters.com’s seventh-ranked welterweight Matt Hughes (42-7)’s torn MCL may keep him out of action for six to seven months.
Hughes injured his knee in his TKO loss to third-ranked “Pitbull” Thiago Alves (15-3) at UFC 85 in London 7 June.
“[The doctor] definitely thinks the MCL and the PCL is rebuilding itself,” he stated in his blog.
“So right now, I’m going to work out lightly, try and build up my quadricep as much as I can. Do nothing with the hamstring really, from what he said and he says possibly being able to fight in 6-7 months.”
