I think it’s funny how Matt Serra has approached voicing his opinions about Hughes, it’s like he said “I think you’re a jerk, so I’m going to make myself look like a jerk by calling you names a lot which all pretty much relate back to calling you a jerk.”

I believe hughes will take it and beat him for 3 rds soundly.

I think early Serra will daze hughes but hughes will recover and “dry hump” Serra to UD.

I dont like hughes at alllllllll but I give him props for what he has done.

Every fighter wants to fight beyond their prime, especially those fighters who have had great careers. They don’t want the ride to end.

This could be the best way for Matt Hughes to go out. If he beats Serra, at least he’s beating his biggest “Nemesis” ever in the octagon, why not go out on that?

If Alves loses to St. Pierre and Hughes beats Serra, it’s possible for a rematch, Hughes said he wants another fight with ALves anyway.

I don’t think he should fight more than 2 or 3 more times. It also depends on who he fights, i still think that Hughes can hang and beat some of the young contenders, he just has to really maitain his conditioning and focus and better his standup as much as possible because he aion’t getting any younger.

I think he has a few fights left, but we should wait and see how he does tomorrow to make a better evaluation of whether or not he should retire, I would like to see him fight Alves again though, some people say that Alves being 4 or 5 pounds heavier didn’t make a difference in their fight, but i disagree, what if Alves would have cut those pounds, i know it’s not a lot, but it could have taken away some of his energy, who knows, but i do think it would have been different if he did cut to 170 rather than looking like a 185 pounder coming in to the fight borderline 200 pounder.

My personal advice, Hughes beats Matt Serra, he goes out on top beating the fighter he hates the most and regains some of his “badness” and plain and simple just go out on top Hughes.

I honestly cant believe he reigned as WW Champ that long, with the stand up he has. Really!!!

But I give credit where it is due, he did!!

I do not, do not, do not like matt huges at all but Serra has really gotten on my nerve especially when he fought GSP man was that dude aggravting!!!!

So I really dont care who wins, I’m hoping Sera wins on one end so hughes has no say so and will be embarrassed butttt on the other end Sera will never shout up if he beats hughes soooo here a beer for everyone in hopes that they both some how KO each other at the same time!!!

I can definitely see Hughes & Liddell being inducted at UFC 100. That being said, he also has the HIT Squad, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him migrate into coaching & management.
