 Former
UFC welterweight champion and UFC Hall of Fame member Matt Hughes has denied he
ever physically abused his estranged wife. On his Instagram page he admitted
that while his relationship with his wife, Audra Hughes, isn’t perfect, “NEVER,
NEVER, NEVER would I, or have I, physically hurt those who I care about most.”
She had filed a restraining order and a petition for divorce claiming he hit her
in front of two of their children and her step-father after she accused him of
sending texts to other women. She was granted the restraining order in December.
Audra Hughes claims her husband’s abuse traces back to the fall of 2017, months
after he was involved in a truck accident with a train that left him with a
brain injury. She claims he choked her while she was in the shower when she
refused to give him the keys to his truck or the code to his gun safe. Mark
Hughes, Matt Hughes’ twin brother, had also filed a restraining order this past
October when Hughes supposedly roughed up Mark’s 15-year-old son in September
2018 for driving the tractor. Mark Hughes claims he found the tractor covered in
gasoline and suspected his brother was going to destroy the vehicle. Hughes is
fully aware that his recovery from the brain injury has been hard on all
concerned.
