And he has one win in the WW division... I would think this wouldn't up Matt on the totem poll much. He needs top wins. Renzo didn't advance him much and a win against a guy with one fight in the division won't advance him much either.

I think this is a good fight for Matt

This is a GREAT fight for Hughes...........to put on another clinic.

I was hoping for a re-match with Thiago Alvez!!!

I dont know much about this Ricardo guy.....but, I do know it
wont be a good day for him when he steps into the ring with Matt.....

But.....the Alvez fight was disappointing....short notice, the Alvez' lack of cutting weight....I really want to see this re-match. Alvez wont be so lucky next time!

I think this gets Matt at least another shot at Thiago.
I think they want this one because it's a good story. More student avenging teacher.

"Almeida has looked good since dropping to 170-pounds, but will be be good enough to overcome the former welterweight champion?"
