Now that Superman is back, the UFC should really do Hughes/Hallman 3. I mean with Hallman’s two submission victories over Hughes (1 in 17 seconds, the other in 20 seconds) before he was champ, this fight sells itself.

Depends on Hallman’s weight class, though, since he’s fought from lightweight to middleweight before.
