According to TMZ Sports, UFC Hall of Famer and former Welterweight champion Matt Hughes, 45, has received a restraining order mandating that he stay at least 500 feet away from his wife. The restraining order comes after Hughes’ wife alleged the former fighter has been physically abusing her since the beginning of 2017.
TMZ cited court documents when describing a number of alleged incidents of family violence involving Hughes. The outlet claimed the alleged abuse began occurring while Hughes was recovering from brain injuries he suffered in a train-and-car collision in rural Illinois on June 16th, 2017.
