Former UFC Welterweight Champion Matt Hughes has spoken out about last weekend's fight between Georges St. Pierre and Matt Serra at UFC 83:
"GSP had a good game plan to take Matt Serra down and wear him out. I found myself rooting for Serra at the end of the second round, I wanted him to make it to the third round. I thought if it would get to the third round GSP would decide to stand up with him and possibly knock him out. I just wanted Matt to get beat on for five rounds, not just two; but I knew the ref was about ready to stop it. The UFC said that if Serra loses I get him, but I don’t know when that will be. I’m going to guess six to eight months, so I’ve found myself watching my diet and exercising more.”
The two men were opposing coaches on the previous season of The Ultimate Figher and were supposed to fight at UFC 79: "Nemesis" in December. Serra had to withdraw from the fight because of a back injury sustained during training. Now, GSP's 2 most recent victims have a clear path to go at it once and for all.
