Defining Matt Hughes

Carlos Newton I ? November 2, 2001 ? UFC 34 Result ? Hughes KO2 A charismatic and dynamic fighter who was fresh off a submission win over Pat Miletich that earned him the welterweight title, Carlos Newton was seen by many as someone who could carry the UFC?s welterweight division over the ensuing years. The UFC apparently agreed, as the UFC 34 event poster displayed main eventers Randy Couture and Pedro Rizzo, along with Newton and a blurb that read ?Carlos Newton Defends UFC Welterweight Title?. There was no mention of Hughes at all, so when the Illinois native knocked Newton out in the second round to take the belt, it was a huge upset.
