UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes settles legal dispute with twin brother

Earlier this year Matt Hughes, 45, went to court to sue his twin brother Mark for ownership of a tractor that had been the subject of a personal dispute between them. That dispute was also the reason Mark took out a restraining order against the UFC Hall of Famer and former UFC welterweight champion.

In Mark’s court filings, Hughes was accused assaulting Mark’s 15-year-old son who was riding the tractor that was jointly owned by the brothers. Hughes allegedly grabbed and shook the teen, telling him it was his tractor.

Mark further alleged that days after this incident he discovered that the tractor had been doused in gasoline and that there were two empty five-gallon buckets in the back of Hughes’ truck.
