Unquestionably one of the greatest fighters in UFC history, two-time UFC welterweight world champion Matt Hughes blazed his way through the UFC 170lbs division in the early 2000s.

In his first title defense since submitting Pat Miletich at UFC 31, Carlos Newton looked to find similar success against future UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes. Relive one of the most exciting knockout's in the history of the UFC.

A year and a half earlier, former NCAA Division I wrestler Frank Trigg defeated submission grappling ace Dennis Hallman in the WFA. Their rematch was set to take place inside the Octagon with Trigg aiming for 2-0 and Hallman angling to even the score.

UFC Welterweight Bouts champion Matt Hughes defended his title against Frank Trigg at UFC 45. The champion only needed one round to submit the challenger.

On April 16, 2005, Matt Hughes re-matched with bitter rival Frank Trigg in a fight for the ages. In four thrilling minutes there was controversy, there was a knock down, there was a running power slam.
