That's where MMA Fighting caught up with the former UFC welterweight champion, who is set to face Renzo Gracie on Apr. 10. Hughes talked about why he turned down a personal request from Dana White, Lawler's upcoming fight against Melvin Manhoef, facing Renzo Gracie and how many more fights he has left in him.
