UFC 98: Matt Serra still doesn't like Matt Hughes

Yeah Serra is a MMA Cinderella Man. I don’t see Serra having a bad atitude with anyone but Hughes and who can blame him. I don’t think I could be in the same room with Hughes without trying to hurt him.

Matt Serra is a total piece of shiat. I know Hughes is a bit of a prick but Serra is just ridiculous. I’m happy he isn’t talking about what a stand up guy he is and how maybe him and GSP can grab a cup of tea or something. Serra is a nobody who luckily beat GSP. Why not try to remain relavant tho by creating a fued with Hughes, makes sense. I can’t wait for Serra to get punched in the mouth while he’s stuck on his back. Who will Serra fight after Hughes? I’m guessing nobody cares who he fights because he’s not a relavant fighter. And why do all of Serras picture have him looking super lubed up? Man I can’t stand that guy.

Cogito what are you talking about? maybe you should go back and take a look at the whole situation.. I’m guessing you are the “piece of sh*t” here cause u my friend are way wrong once again.. Serra is a nice guy. Hughes is an a-hole that likes to make fun of ppl and that is why Serra has a problem with him

HA! Serra isn’t a nice guy.

Cogito/Synster,

Honest Question: How is Serra a dick? He seemed nice to his team on TUF. I’ve only ever heard him badmouth Hughes. I’m not on the guys nuts, but I can’t see what he’s done wrong other than be short and ugly.

Rob don’t call me a piece of sh*t and then call me your friend, in the same sentance none the less. Overies puncher my point is Serra is always claiming to be a stand up swell guy but yet he is talking all this trash about Hughes because he’s a prick. Well lets face it there are tons of fighters in the UFC let alone MMA who are very egotistical and going to be very rude people. The fact of the matter is that Serra hated Hughes before anything even really happened, its my impression that he was hoping he could line up a fight against Hughes because he didn’t think he would beat GSP for the title. (please note that I know that Serra hated Hughes for beating Royce) Anway most stand up swell guys don’t try to compare themselves to other people like Serra does, they are considered stand up because they act the part and they don’t start talking needless trash. I’m not denying that Hughes can be a prick but I am saying that Serra is a bigger prick for pretending like he isn’t one.

I just quoted you calling Serra a piece of … Serra isn’t always claiming to be a standup guy, he is infact a pretty good guy who just likes to joke around, and why he has a problem with Hughes is because Hughes is very dislikable the guy is annoying as hell and is just simply a donk even though he’s not aware of it himself..

yeah Hughes has a pretty big grudge against anyone who beats him, no suprise there. And his opinions are usually strongly biased based on that fact but he’s a stand up guy who puts in a lot of work for his community, cares about his fans, and does a ton to help out the UFC. Before you start claiming who here is a good guy can you tell me what Serra has done? Exactly you just don’t like Hughes because he doesn’t like other fighters. What should he do pull a GSP and repeat the same dead lines everytime? Should he act like Serra and claim to be better than he really is? I mean dang man your so strongly biased against Hughes its not even funny. There is plenty of evidence that Hughes is a stand up guy, his opinions are just whack a good amount of the time but thats just him feeling that emptiness from losing his belt after being considered the greatest welterweight of all time. Heck I’d be better and never forgive GSP, I wouldn’t want to have a beer with the guy, I’d want to punch him in the face everytime I saw him. Take my belt back and be like what now!

Who gives a F*** who the nice guy and who’s not, Matt Hughes is going to beat the f*** out of Serra!TKO 1st round!

I’m not in any way saying that what Hughes has done for MMA and all the work he’s put in isn’t good cause it is.. but he’s still an a$$ as a person..

and i’m not talking about how good they are as fighters, cause Hughes has clearly had a much more succesful career as a fighter and should probably be considered the favorite in this fight even though i personally think Serra will beat him just cause Hughes has gotten too old..

I HATE Serra. Matt Hughes is the guy who got me into MMA, so I’m 120% on his side. Serra has nothing in this. I said this in the Shields/Lawler thread, but Matt Hughes beat Trigg the first time without even throwing a punch. It was a while ago, but still. If a guy who still fights like he did then, in the sense that he pwns the ground game and sucks standing up, to beat a guy without throwing 1 punch is pretty impressive.

Matt Serra has no place in the Octagon against any top fighter. Matt Hughes will dominate this tool.

War Hughes.

shogun subbed kevin randleman without throwing a punch

I’ve never seen that fight… But damn. I’m impressed.

If anything this fight will go exactly like Serra’s fight with Karo. Hughes might get angry in the beginning and want to punch Serra, but Serra might catch him once, and Hughes will recover and beat the snot out of him on the ground for the next 12 minutes of the fight.

Serra vs Hughes. Man this is a tough one to pick! I mean I feel that Hughes will most likely win, however I don’t know who I WANT to win this. They are both pricks.

Serra is hard to like. He has a cocky, annoying personality and he’s too mouthy for his own good.

Hughes on the other hand I always liked because of his achievements in the sport and his quiet demeanor. But after reading his book, I found out that he is a true a—hole. This guy and his equally f—cked up bro, terrorized their parents with violence, used to torture animals and do other psycho sh-t and now they are good guys because they found God? What a bunch of f-cking hippocrits!

The best outcome? They both beat each other senseless for 14min,59seconds, then in the last second there is a double knockout! :)

I’m not a fan of Hughes, and there’s plenty of stuff to bag on Hughes about. I read the book as well, he was casterating farm animals (i think pigs? can’t remember), I guess it’s a farm thing, that’s not exactly torturing animals for pleasure. I can’t remember the whole book and have no interest in digging it up, but I don’t think he was exactly beating up his parents, I think it came down to and incident mostly and his brother did something physical to his dad I think. It’s been like 2 yrs since I quickly read it and found a lot of stuff to be misinformation by Hughes-Haters. I’m a Hughes-Hater, but I think there’s a certain objective to take from the book to accurately portray him as an A-hole VS a complete Psychopath.

I want Hughes to win simply because it makes GSP’s 2 victories over him more significant and make’s Serra’s win over GSP look like more of a fluke.

Sorry, it wasn’t much of a fluke. It’s not like GSP tripped and fell face first into an uppercut.

Thats what im hoping for Del Boy! Serra has been very vocal about Hughes. He better back up all the sh*t hes talked.

Yea, he will. Serra by TKO in the first. Garuntee Hughes hardly even trains anymore considering hes either being a ref at some amateur event or just doing Q&A. WAR SERRA

ill take hughes hes still a good fighter its just he lost to the divisions best

WAR HUGHES

BrutalKO- how is reffing an amateur event and doing a Q&A result in not training? What a dumb post. To add to that, you also pick Serra to win, by TKO nonetheless. At least you’re consistent.

Haha. Agree with Synyster. Hughes wins, and goes onto the hall of fame. Serra may want to cut to 155, but to be honest I think he loses to the top level guys there too.

No, he gnp’d him. He choked out Trigg. My prediction stands.

fair enough. I like a bold pick. I don’t see this one happenin tho.

Yeah, for some reason I see Serra gassing out and getting beat up on the ground ’till he rolls over and gives up his back, thus allowing Hughes to sink in the choke. Probably not going to happen but that was my initial thought of how it will end.

just based on the fact serra hasn’t been submitted and bj and gsp didn’t sub him i gotta think it’s a long shot

GSP was too busy kicking the crap out of him to bother subbing him. Serra hasn’t subbed anyone in years.

Serra will NEVER again fight at 155 lbs. He was asked about that in a recent interview and replied that he is just too big, and he will never again be able to cut down to lightweight.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing SErra punch a hole through the “smug chipmunks” face!

Serra is Wamma # 7 Welterweight.

Check last week’s MMA live for all Wamma rankings.

That ranking is based on the fact he was the champ before his last fight, but everyone knows his victory over GSP was a fluke and that the title shot he got was a joke too. He got a title shot for beating Shonie Carter… he didn’t even beat Lytle IMO. Serra’s days at WW should be over after this fight, win or lose.

Agree with you JJ

Serra CANT make 155 lbs anymore! He already made that clear!

He CAN, john, but maybe he WON’T. His frame is ideal for 155, he’s just too pudgy and going a little hard on the Fettucini Alfredo these days.
