Matt Hughes Hoping For Serra Defeat

Matt Hughes weighed in with his thoughts on the upcoming UFC 83 main event recently on his personal website.

Since we’re on the subject of GSP/Serra, honestly, I think GSP will win this fight very decisively. I don’t think that a submission will play a role in the fight. Obviously, Matt has power in his hands, so I don’t think Georges will make the same mistake this time of standing right in front of him. So, once again, I think Georges will be victorious. I’ve already asked the UFC that if Serra loses, I get him.

We are all aware that there is no love lost between Matt Hughes and Matt Serra. Both guys have a strong arrogant ego and both fighters feel the other one is a “jerk.” Serra and Hughes were supposed to fight at UFC 79 last December, but Serra was forced to withdraw from the fight due to a back injury. Georges St. Pierre stepped up in his place and handily defeated Matt Hughes, earning him an interim UFC Welterweight title belt.

I know that I personally would like to see a Matt Hughes vs. Matt Serra fight simply because I think it would be a great “grudge match.”

    I also think it would be an interesting match that needs to happen. They spent months hyping the fight already so people are interested. I think Serra’s 15 minutes of fame are about up. Once GSP beats him I think Hughes will do the same. What will be interesting is what Matt chooses to do after that. Like Franklin I don’t think he wants any more of GSP like Rich probably is not interested in fighting Silva.
