Matt Hughes: 'It's going to be Matt Serra in January or February'

Whooo yeah! I’ve been waitin’ for this one for the longest time. MAtt Serra FTW!!

Let’s hope Matt Hughes catches one of those looping swings of Serra so that he would just think about his farm back home. I like Matt Serra’s chances on this one. But I’m sure Hughes will use his wrestling to harrass Serra’s game plan, w/c is to stand and bang..

I want to see Serra beat Huges’ ass so bad.

Mania doesn’t wanna post any of my opinions, LOL! Peace mania!

I hope to God that Serra wins. The only time that Hughes comes even remotely close to being a decent human being is when loses. At least he can be humble in defeat. But if Hughes wins, he’ll turn back into that insufferable high-school jock with the smarmy cockiness.

Besides, I think that people have been too quick to write off Matt Serra. I’d love to see him shut some mouths with this win.

I hope Serra kicks Hughes ass! Hughes is pissing me off with his stupid comments!

Mania doesn’t want my opinions either TheNegation! imo Matt Hughes is a bum he is one of the worst fighters in the UFC. its emabarrasing he is a main event anywhere.

Hughes takes this fight in the first round.

I hope Serra KO That farm boy the same way he KO’d GSP. Hughes is nothing but a old fart wanting some attention!

Yees Serra takes him out with a vicious KO!

Oh great, now we get to hear month’s of poor smack talk from either party.

Anyway, I hope serra wins by KO.

i’ll definitely put $5,000.00 on matt. he’s gonna win! no doubt. haha.

I never liked Matt Hughes, but I understand all the contributions he made to the UFC, and I believe he’s one of the best Welterweights in MMA history. HOWEVER, his arrogance and smart a$$ comments, espcially towards his former training partner at MFS and friend Tim Sylvia. I’m no Tim Sylvia fan, but the way Hughes put him down in his book is a complete lack of class. He was a horrible coach on TUF 6, especially because all of his decisions that he made was to outcoach Matt Serra, not for his team.

Finally, like Tito Ortiz’s shirt at Ortiz vs. Shamrock 3: The Final Chapter; I hope Matt Serra: "Punishes Matt Hughes’ ASS into Retirement.

i hope serra pulls the win too. he took a beating last time from gsp and i don’t think hughes will finish him. would love to see serra knock him out!

OFF TOPIC: What do you guys think of a matchup between Jon Fitch and Dustin Hazelett.

Serra did himself proud against GSP. Serra by submission…PLEASE!! Hughes is a dick. One of my mates met him in Vegas and thought he was a rude arrogant dick. Every time he opens his mouth in public i cringe….. As Serra said about Hughes “the guy’s a penis”.

hope this is on the undercard…who really cares about these guys anymore…they arent anywhere close to top contenders.

hope this aint the main event

I don’t really know what to think about this. I think that because of how dominant of a champion Matt Hughes once was, I want him to win. I still want to see Matt Serra fight after this but overall, I want Hughes to end his career with a win.

i agree with RyannHobbs. i really like both fighters but we all know serra is going to continue to fight and hughes is done. i kind of want to see hughes end with a win. i just dont know which matt hughes will show up. we allll know how that goes!

Serra is going to get crushed. The sport has past Hughes by, but he has more than enough to dominate this cheeseball.

Hughes has better wrestling and a quicker jab. Serra has way better jitts, very heavy hands and works much better off his back.

I’m takin’ Serra…. by submission or 3rd UD.

No one gives a shit about this fight.

Put it on the undercard.

I seriously want Serra to put this dude to sleep.

Serra’s jits sucks! So overated it isn’t even funny. He should have never been champ. He just got lucky twice and don’t give me the “If you intend to throw a punch and it lands, how can that be lucky?”. He got lucky with a shot to the back of the neck and, truth be told, he never should of been in that title fight. Not exactly sure who he fought in the TUF finally, think it was Lytle, but I do remember Serra should not have got the decision.

I can’t believe I’m actually pulling for Serra now. I’d love for GSP to be there and get so bored that he gets up and leaves because I think this is going to be that kind of fight. I think that Serra wins by decision.

I can’t stop laughing about blah’s post:

“Comment by blah

geez, i hate both equally! here’s to me hoping for a double knockout, and a hard one at that… so it ends both of their careers simultaneously.”

I couldn’t agree more …

This fight should have happend after TUF when people wanted to see it. If this is the main event the UFC better hope they have a few good fights on the card to help sell it.

I think that this has shrunk itself as a co-event on a PPV, or a main event on Spike TV. I personally think that since its a long overdue fight from a year ago, and because of both losses from Serra and Hughes that it be put on SPike TV. I think it would fare better. These days people could give a rats ass about watching these two and paying for it unless it is a stacked card. A good fight to finish a feud, but these two dont deserve the same spotlight as some of the other main eventers.

I can’t stand either of these fighters, although I respect Matt Hughes more for what he accomplished over his career (although he should have retired after GSP murdered him twice). But, as much as we all don’t want to see it, this will definitely be a main event or co-main event fight on PPV. Hughes is butt buddies with Dana, plus both guys are former welterweight champs (although I’d put an ‘*’ beside Serra’s name), so the UFC will spin it that was..AND both have big egos, so there is no way they’d accept a UFN main event or undercard on a PPV. I can see it now. The UFC will pull all this garbage footage from TUF show and turn on the old hype machine, and try to sell this like it’s a superfight. We all know the outcome of this fight is irrelevant. Hughes will retire and Serra will go back to fighting guys who are barely top 10 (where he belongs). How dumb does the UFC think their fans are?? They better surround this fight with at least 2-3 amazing main event fights. I say Hughes lays-and-gays to a UD victory.

Ya this fight is a little late of happening.
i dont even get excited about hearing about it.
you know when u think of a fight happening(penn vs gsp 2)
you get excited from about 6 months away for it, well this fight was forgotten about by me and i still wont get excited about it. its equals the excitement of a fight as if it were
jardine vs evans !

Everyone knows this will co main event the card with penn vs GSP 2. I went to UFC 87 and Matt Hughes was a j-off. I hate that dude (i do give credit he has done alot of damage in the welterweight division) as far as a person thou i have no respect for the doosh. Matt Serra by repeated kicks to the nutz

man is it possible to have a double KO in this one please..
both these guys get under my skin. they are good fighters and all but man do they suck to watch out of the ring haha

speaking of double KO"S they had to wake Matt Hughes up and tell him he won against Carlos Newton. Both guys were out cold.

I hope Matt Hughes smashes Serras face and puts him in his place…He thinks hes better than he is.

GOO MATT!! :)

I don’t care who wins! I just hopes it goes the distance an they both pummel each other really bad an then retire!! Hugh’s continually undermines everything he says he stands for… he is getting more an more difficult to listen too. he has been schooled in his last few fights and his mouth gets bigger ,, i don’t get it ,, maybe he should take a good look in the mirror to see how stupid he sounds with his better then THOU attitude!! I heard the midwest likes their sheep :)

I hope Serra retires Huhges once and for all!!

I hope they coach another season on TUF. Then I hope they’re scheduled to fight at the end of the show. After that I hope that it gets delayed because it’s harvesting season and Hughes has to hop on the tractor Dana gave him and do some drivin’ on it. Finally, I hope they fight and are the fifth best fight on the card. And… and… GSP watches the fight and gets winner.

Matt Hughes is such a blowass. Serra isn’t that good either, but I hope he whips that ignorant hayseed Hughes.

I can see Hughes winning by ref stoppage via GnP. I’ve never seen Hughes be anything but classy following his fights win or lose. Serra is a loudmouthed asshole…anyone who watched TUF6 saw that it was Serra constantly bad mouthing Hughes…worst things Hughes said about him is he’s got small man complex and I wouldn’t want my children watching this with him running his foul mouth, like every other word was F this, etc. Serra had a questionable split decision win over Chris Lytle in the TUF4 finale and he managed to catch GSP…only to get completely dominated in their rematch, ref stoppage in the middle of rd 2. I figure Hughes will retire after this but to put the final stamp on his career, I can see him giving Serra a beating reminicent of the one he gave to Gracie at UFC 60 or what he did to BJ in Rd 3 at UFC 63. That’ll send Matt Serra back to 155 wear he belongs only to watch guys like Sherk, Diego and others send him into retirement

gee guys fight of the night-i just wish hughes hadda knocked out that mouthy ass serra.hughes is a hall of famer-serra was,is, and always will be a never was
