Their fight will take place on Jan. 25 at the Bellator Champions Series event in Dubai, UAE.
"If I have to, I'm going to take this man to hell, 100 percent. I absolutely believe I can knock him out as I was very, very, very, very close to that in my fight with A.J. McKee. I see good odds and I know for a fact that I can knock Usman out, but I can also give him a five-round hell, take him to places he's never been before," MMA Junkie quoted Hughes as saying.
