UFC's Matt Hughes Accused of Violence by Wife, Brother; Given Restraining Orders

Former UFC star Matt Hughes' wife and brother both filed and were granted restraining orders against him in 2018, according to TMZ Sports on Tuesday.

Audra Hughes said in her filing that Matt choked her in 2017 and then hit her in front of her son, their daughter and her stepfather on Dec. 12, 2018.

Hughes' twin brother, Mark, wrote that he and Matt had a falling-out over the ownership of a tractor in September 2018. Mark alleged that Matt grabbed and shook Mark's 15-year-old son when he saw the child using the tractor and then later doused the tractor in gasoline in an attempt to destroy it.
