I hope Hughes fights Serra just to close that door from me being a fan’s perspective.

With Serra’s injury, how is this fight going to possibly take place by mid-2008 when he must first fight GSP?

[quote comment=”253076″]With Serra’s injury, how is this fight going to possibly take place by mid-2008 when he must first fight GSP?[/quote]

Dana White said Serra told him he could most likely be ready by April. So maybe July August if all things go well. Either way I’ll throw in that caveat above.

Hopefully the fight does happen but he does have a point, why go out getting your ass beat over and over like Ken Shamrock.

Hughes is a little different from Liddell and Franklin, from that perspective.

He’s contemplated retirement for a while now, while - less than a year ago - Liddell had mapped out 4 or 5 fights he wanted to have before he hung it up.

Yeah, does anyone know the current time table for Matt Serra’s injury? Has it changed from the first prognosis?

It’s not like Matt Hughes has become a punching bag for the entire division and is on a losing streak. In the last 3 years, he has only lost two fights, both of them being to GSP. I don’t think the sport has quite passed by Matt Hughes, although it is getting harder and harder to win fights in the UFC when you are one dimensional. Rather, it appears that Matt has run into a better fighter than himself at 170. Matt needs to realize that if he continues fighting in the UFC that he will never be WW champ again. That is, unless Serra defeats GSP again, and Hughes somehow gets to fight Serra for the title. Although, I have no idea how Hughes would be able to jump Fitch and Karo in the rankings without defeating one of them first.

I’m pretty sure after Serra loses to GSP (which i will be pulling for Serra… i think) then Hughes will fight Serra for another big payday. I would pretty much bet the bank on that fight happening if things go GSP’s way for the Serra fight.
I would like to see Hughes and Kos fight still. but i don’t see that happening this year.
we’ll probably see Hughes 1 or 2 more times… tops.

I still saw Hughes OWNING GSP the whole fight. Like he was punishing his daughter after she got in trouble at school.

I guess your no psychic….

I think Hughes is a phenomenal fighter and should not contemplate retirement.

GSP is just super phenomenal.

Some of the best / exciting fights I’ve seen were Matt hughes fights.

I’ll buy his books and hope he continues to fight also.

I want 2 c Huhges @ 185lbs. Who’s wit me?

Serra will fight GSP sometime late spring/early summer. After GSP wipes the floor with Serra, he can fight Hughes sometime in the fall. Title or no title, I still want to see the Hughes-Serra match.

Next 3 hughes fight..Hughes vs Serra, Hughes vs Silva, Hughes vs Franklin..then he can go away.

Yeah, Hughes has not looked like a top competitor since his fight with Gracie. He was getting smashed by BJ up until BJ got injured, I’m not taking anything away from Matt winning that fight, but you have to admit that the first 2 rounds didn’t look good at all for him. Then GSP knocked him out. He came back with a boring win over Lytle, who just hugged him the whole time on the ground. He won the fight but he was not like the dominant champ we know.

Its been a steep decline for him since Gracie, there would be no shame in hanging up the gloves now, but I would like to see one more good fight, then retire in the octagon.

Hughes is a horrible coach, and leaving Miletich to coach himself was a bad idea. GSP may beat him anyday of the week, but the Matt Hughes I saw last Saturday would get beat down by Matt Serra regularly also. He just wasn’t all there. Calling his MMA career just a ‘hobby’, and openly talking about retiring for the past year = the poor performance he gave against GSP. It just seems worthless to see him fight again.

hughes is too short for 185…

“There’re bigger things out there than fighting Matt Serra.” …..

hahahahahahaa, what a fool - like what? Serra is the Champ  - there is nothing bigger! …i dont understand how/why hughes try’s to put serra down all the time when serra is on top… i for one believed serra was gonna fook gsp up (some of you mite remember my bet slip i had on serra - he won be over £150 !!) and i know gsp is a hard mo fo’ but serra has the attitude - serra will hold the belt

hughes is done…go ride your john deere lawnmower.

If I were Hughes, I would retire. I don’t think money is an issue. With his book deal, I’m sure he’s doing fine. He’s had a fantastic career. In my mind, he’s at a place where he could go out in a respctable fashion. He lost to GSP, but I don’t think anyone would hold that against him. If he ends up fighting Serra or anyone else and loses, that would taint his legacy a lot more then a couple of losses to GSP.

You ARE Insain. Did you watch GSP’s last fight. There isn’t a better fighter on the planet. I don’t want to disrespect Serra, but GSP is in another stratosphere. A. Silva and GSP are at the top of the heap all by themselves.

I liked GSP before, but I’m becoming a big fan of his. He showed a lot of class when he said the interim title didn’t mean anything. He’s going to be a good champ for many years to come.

Matt Hughes at 155 at his age and providing he could make the weight cut would be smarter than him moving to 185 to take on guys like Nate Marquardt, Yushin Okami and Anderson Silva. That just wouldn’t be “smart”

I think Hughes could re-invent and resurect his career fighting smaller guy in the 5′ 6″ - 5′ 8″ range. Matt could take on and beat guys like Spencer Fischer, Kenny Florian, and Frankie Edgar. 155 is full of wrestlers who Hughes would fair better against. Someone get Dana on the phone and make it happen.

i think some people belive serra is a much better fighter than he is coz he is likeable but gsp will win hands down

As for matt hughes maybe serra then the bj or fitch (if fitch won it would prove he could challenge for the title)

I think Hughes can still fight at a top level, just not against GSP. I’d like to see Hughes fight Serra and BJ to end his career. At this point, there’s no way he will go up and face Anderson Silva. He will get mauled worse than Rich did.

I think Hughes vs. Serra will definately happen.

Now I would really like to see GSP move up to 185 and fight Silva. That would be a monster fight.

Props to Hughes for his honesty.

That’s the voice of one beaten man - who knows it.

Predictions in 2008 for serra,gsp and hughes

*april-Gsp fights serra in april, horribly one sided fight, gsp mixes it up well and ownes serra badly everywhere, ends by brutal tko in the second round.
*july-Hughes fights serra, boring fight, hughes wins by lay and pray and does almost no damage to serra and wins by decision.
*august-Gsp fights fitch, more competitive than gsp/hughes 3 but still one sided, gsp is on an other level than fitch and wins by tko in the third round.
*august-Ufc announces hughes retirement, he is inducted into the hall of fame.
*october- Serra gets rematch with lytle and this time lytle wins by decision. Serra lost 3 in a row now and retires.
*november-*Gsp gets another rematch with koscheck and this time submits him in the first round, one sided fight.
*december-Ufc has trouble finding competition for gsp as koscheck beat karo earlier in the year and there considering moving gsp up to middle weight.

In today’s mma ground “whizards” can not compete against elite Fighters without becoming competent strikers. All fights start standing and in today’s mma fighters are all becoming really good at take down defense. With that being said guys like Werdum, and Hughes will all need to drastically improve there striking to be effective in Today’s mma.

I really dislike Hughes, but I will have to agree with ViolentMike that its not like Hughes has become a punching bag for the entire division. He can still takedown most welterweights at will with the exception of GSP, Fitch and Koschek. Hughes will never hold the WW title again, but so what? there is only one champ in each division. Chuck will never beat the champ Rampage…does that mean chuck should retire? Franklin will never beat the spider, but he isnt retiring.I know Hughes is used to being the Man, but he isnt any longer. Its easy to be the man when everything goes your way, but I am shocked that after a loss a fighter at the caliber Hughes is, is ready to retire. A true champion Mans up in the face of adversity, instead Hughes is backing down!…Just cause he cant beat GSP, doesnt mean that he wont be able to perform at a high level and take part in WARS. The UFC is kind of in a state of Turmoil right now, and having the greatest WW of all time retire, wont help the UFC at all.

I strongly dislike Hughes. I also hate that such a supposed devoted Christian acts like such a D*ck. Makes no sense to me how you can preach god this, God that, yet still be a D*ck towards other people. Christianity 101: do unto others as you would have them do unto you! Hughes just doesnt Get it!

GsP has only two fights left at WW to prove he is the best, fitch and serra. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, that he will crush both of these guys. After that, I agree. jump up to MW and beat some skulls in that division. He is the biggest 170 around, and would fit nicely in 185, no problem. Him and Silva are at the top of the heap hands down! I’d probably kill to see that fight…hahaha

Well put. Agreed. He is somewhat one dimensional yet is still better than 95 percent of WW.

I used to agree with everyone that Hughes is a dick. Now I realize that he’s just not my type of person (probably cultural things that differentiate us). I don’t know if I felt bad for him because he was beaten so badly, but I liked him after the GSP fight. He made no excuses. Wasn’t afraid to show that he was impressed with GSP’s performance, and seems to act like a man about things. And he’s right, there’s more to life than fighting Serra. I think he was talking about having meaningful things going on in his life. Right now fighting people doesn’t have much meaning. He knows that he’s never going to beat GSP, therefore he probably won’t hold the title again. He could fight and win some more, but he probably doesn’t really care. There are bigger things in life. Good for him.

I got an idea. GSP and Anderson Silva are widely considered the two best pound for pound fighters right now. If Anderson Silva is able to beat Dan Henderson he would have pretty much cleared out the division - I mean we’re talking the UFC MW division. And if GSP can beat Serra and then Fitch and Karo, then he would have cleared out the WW divsion. If this were to happen, then it I wouldn’t want GSP to have to add 15 pounds to fight Anderson Silva, and risk having someone be champ in two wieght classes. Rather, I think it should be a catch weight match between 177-180 pounds. That way, the playing field is a little more level since GSP wouldn’t really need to bulk up as much as he would have needed to for 185. GSP definately walks around at at least 185, but walking around wieght and fighting weight are two totally different things.

No, I wanted him to before but not now. Not sure if you are serious. He’ll get destroyed by a lot of those guys. I know middleweight is weak but Hughes isn’t as strong as he used to be and many of those guys are a lot bigger than him. After the Serra fight he should hang’em up I think. I don’t want him to tarbish his record. Anderson, Dan, Rich, Marquardt would all beat him I think. What’s the point?

Yeah, I changed my opinion on Matt Hughes. He seemed so gracious and respectful in defeat. Everything he said makes sense. Good for him. He has his book out now that might be something he’d like to pursue further. He has a big farm and I’m sure he wants to spend more time with his family. He could also do so work for the UFC. He could commentate or he could work for the Fight Network like Big John. There’s loads he could do. I’m beginning to think the whole ‘Matt Hughes is a dick’ thing was due to the editing of TUF. Seems strange as he appears to be one of Dana’s boys. I don’t know.

How the hell could Matt physically do that? He was an all-american twice at 158lbs years and years ago. But I just don’t think he could make the weight now. He’s a block.

He and Rich Franklin have similar problems. Your’e better than pretty much everybody at your weight except the champ. That has to be frustrating for them (and Dana as well).

Ditto on the “hughes is a dick” thing. He showed some class, as did GSP.

really i’m looking forward to gsp vs serra 2 (if serra’s healthy and prepared) i hope serra ko’s gsp again.then we’ll get to see all the excuses from the gsp fans.will they say he got lucky again.i agree with the better part of what Insain says.

Keep hoping buddy because its not going to happen. Your like the guy hoping he wins the lottery again but c’mon guy face reality. I would LOVE to see the look on Insains and Jdawgs face after the gsp/serra 2 fight, its would be sweet too bad I can’t though. Serra has how many tko’s in his career?……..oh ya 1 quite the knock out artist eh? My prediction is gsp ground and pounds poor little serra and the refs saves him. I don’t hate serra but I have the ability to call a spade a spade and I know I’m not delusional. Serra won fair and square, he caught gsp and gsp lost there’s not much more to say about it, but there’s nothing in serra’s history to indicate it will happen again. Gsp on the other hand has many tko wins and seems to be getting better, serra has less of a chance this time than last time. Number one he’s coming off an injury and gsp seems to be peaking and is in incredible shape. Gsp underestimated serra’s striking, and gsp from what I’ve see doesn’t make the same mistake twice so serra’s only chance seems to be gone out the window. I’m willing to bet big on this fight, and feel extremely confident gsp will win.

like vm says, gsp vs silva at 177lbs. but only after gsp beats serra and then beats the winner of the karo/fitch fight that isnt scheduled yet.

Insain and jdawg to me seem ridiculously hard on gsp for some bizarre reason and seem blind to his abilities. Yes he’s not perfect but to think serra has a real chance to beat gsp is crazy, I guess hence the name “insain” or troll, whatever.

I can’t wait for gsp to get the belt back and silence all the morons out there.

Please get it clear that wehn i talk about Serra, im not putting GSP down.

I hate Hughes

Let’s be real clear, Serra is nowhere near GSP’s league. If they fought 100 times, Serra wins once. GSP did not take that fight seriously, and he had personal problems. Serra hit him with a lucky rabbit punch and then finished him.
Serra is, at best, a middle of the pack lightweight. He is more or less a classless bum who has stretched his fifteen minutes of fame out way too long. GSP will own him, and then, if Serra has the balls to back up what he said about Hughes (which I doubt), Hughes will fight and destroy him. Then Serra can got back to Long Island and run his weak-ass gym.
GSP is the best fighter in the UFC right now.

I see your point but just look at hughes 1,2 and 3. Most thought after seeing the hughes/gsp 1 fight that gsp was the better fighter. It was very obvious in there next two fights, one win doesn’t mean you’ll win every time. Its just obvious to most people gsp is more well rounded than serra and a better fighter, hence it being the biggest upset in mma history. I also “FEEL” if gsp fought serra 10 times he wins 8 or 9 of them, based on either guys last 5 fights or so, I’m just not overly impressed with quick sub or ko wins. I honestly wasn’t that impressed with diego sanchez’s win over riggs because it was his ONLY ko, when a guy ko’s someone like the spider THAT’S impressive. I wasn’t so surprised koscheck out boxed diego at all and thought he might win. Maybe serra has completely changed and is now a super mma fighter but I doubt it and we’ll just have to see what happens when gsp and serra fight again. If gsp owns serra, takes his down and ground and pounds him and mixes things up, I won’t be surprised when gsp wins but if serra wins again by tko I’ll be shocked and impressed with serra and think he’s the real deal.
