![Ex-LSU Star Josh Booty -- HEY FREELOADER, GET OUT ... Lawsuit Says [Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2014/04/22/0422-josh-booty-with-swipe-instagram-01-117x81.jpg)
UFC legend Matt Hughes has dodged a major bullet -- TMZ has learned the champ will not be charged with a crime for allegedly breaking a woman’s nose during an incident at an Illinois bar back in April.
TMZ spoke with the Illinois State's Attorney ... who told us there was not enough evidence to prove the fighter committed a battery when he allegedly shoved another man into a female bystander at the Trails End Bar and Grill in Taylor Springs, IL.
TMZ broke the story ... the female bystander blamed Hughes for the injury she suffered during the alleged scuffle.
Cartman
He is still guilty of assault.
Chef Jack Tripper
He has yet to be cleared of being a douche bag. That one may take some time.

If she would have made Matt a country style breakfast, all of this would have been swept under the rug.
TMZ dont like me
Where was Roger Huerta when this guy's ass needed to be kicked??
Muppet
LOL @ Rocky
Yes because all kinds of women run around breaking their own noses. :/
Richard
Lets see, she was in a bar, she was in an area where men are getting angry and someone got shoved into her big nose...Hmmmm sounds like a bimbo trying to get some dogh ray me. There was no intent to hurt this female, and she needs to spend some nights at home, instead of trying to cause trouble after being in a place where there often is trouble.

Why would he shove somebody? When he is known for punching in the cage.
Jexica
I think she forgot she was ugly and just assumed someone must have assaulted her.
Superman
Cops suck ass!!! They are just a tool for rich people to keep the poor people down!

Matt Hughes is not known for punching in the cage. takedown and wrestling maybe....but punching??? not likely. in all his UFC bouts he never once has had a knockout. complete douche in my opinion and i would've called Roger to the rescue in a heartbeat lol
truthful
It is a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!! Why should he get away with an assault? Prob slept with someone to get that dropped.... sad that people have to put up with that in a small town. I think it is time to stop going to bars and stay home with your FAMILY and rememeber that YOU had found GOD!!!
Leah
I have an idea... don't stand right behind a guy that's getting in the most dominant welterweight of all times face!!!
