UFC Announces GSP-Hughes III for April in Canada

Speaking with media on hand to cover Wednesday's UFC Fight Night in San Diego, UFC president Dana White revealed that Georges St. Pierre would defend his welterweight belt versus Matt Hughes April 7 in Montreal.
The fight would mark the third time St. Pierre and Hughes tangled in the Octagon, as well as UFC's first foray into Canada.
The 170-pound stars first met in Oct. 2004 in Atlantic City, where Hughes (40-5-0) won by submission with one second remaining in the opening round to capture the vacant belt.
St. Pierre (13-1-0) earned his revenge — and the belt — last month with a dominant second-round stoppage over the 33-year-old American.
Before St. Pierre, 25, can set his mind on Hughes, the champ must first get past Matt Serra, winner of the welterweight division on The Ultimate Fighter 4, February 3 in Las Vegas.
