From the event’s promoter:

Hughes Added To Upcoming RINGS USA Card

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa — Matt Hughes, one of the top lightweight fighters in the world, has been added to the RINGS USA: Battle of the Best event, scheduled for March 17 at Harveys Casino.
Hughes, who was ranked No. 1 in the world before two recent losses, has wins in the UFC, WEF, Extreme Challenge, Super Brawl, RINGS Japan and RINGS Australia events. He will face Brett Al-Azzawi of Kalamazoo, Mich., a veteran of Extreme Challenge, Danger Zone and Hook N Shoot events.
The Hughes-Al-azzawi bout replaces the Brad Kohler-Jason Allar fight, which was scrapped when Allar elected not to accept the rematch.
