Paul Hughes: The Hottest Free Agent in MMA after Cage Warriors 170

The Craic with Petesy Carroll

Paul Hughes not being signed by the UFC has been one of the great mysteries on the European scene for the past number of years.
Ahead of his first round knockout of Jan Quaeyhaegens at Cage Warriors 161, Hughes revealed that he had turned down a short notice debut with the promotion and an opportunity to compete on TUF due to injury.
Now, before he headlines Cage Warriors 170 in Dublin this Saturday, Hughes reveals his showdown with short notice replacement with Edgar Escarrega will be the last on his Cage Warriors deal and he fully intends to explore all offers that will be put to him.
Hughes discusses the excitement he has going into free agency, how he’d be interested in being Ireland’s answer to Cedric Doumbé, how he feels about the UFC and his experiences with Cage Warriors.
