    Two-time welterweight title challenger Frank Trigg is returning to the UFC after more than three years away and he has his sights set on another run at the 170-pound title.

    One of the fight game’s most charismatic figures, the 37-year old Trigg wrestled for the University of Oklahoma and competed in the 2000 Olympic trials, but it has been in mixed martial arts where he has truly made his mark. A pro since 1997, Trigg (19-6) made appearances in PRIDE, Shooto, and the WFA before debuting in the UFC in 2003 against welterweight champion Matt Hughes. Trigg fell short in that bout, but after wins over Dennis Hallman and Renato Verissimo, he engaged in a rematch with Hughes at UFC 52 in 2005 that is considered one of the greatest bouts in UFC history, despite his submission defeat to the future Hall of Famer.

    Trigg’s first stint in the UFC ended later that year after a defeat to Georges St-Pierre, but the Rochester, New York native has since been on a tear, winning seven of nine bouts, including victories over Ronald Jhun, Mayhem Miller, Kazuo Misaki, Edwin Dewees, and Falaniko Vitale. Currently riding a four fight winning streak, Trigg is a welcome addition to an already stacked welterweight division.

    A date and opponent for Trigg’s UFC return has not been determined.

      Big, Big, Big mistake. He has absolutely no chance at any of the top 10 or 15 fighters in that weight division. He should not have came back...I guess he just needs the money.

        Your saying there are 15 better fighters at 170 then him? He has been doing very well lately. I dont think he has any chance at the title, but he's definitely a popular guy with the fans, and I think he can fight. I think he's going to do well, but probably wont get near a title shot

          I'm saying that he is not in the top 10. And maybe not even the top 15. There is just a totally different crop of fighters now than there was when he was getting OWNED by Hughes.

            Has anyone read if he is staying at MW or dropping back to WW? He has been fighting MW. If he stays at MW then he really doesn't stand a chance. The only good fighters he has beaten lately is Miller and Dewees??

                Cool...thats better than MW but I still think he has no chance. I really don't see many fighters at all at WW that he can beat.
