This fight doesn’t seem to have any real bearing in the division based on the last few loses both have sustained and the very lengthy inactivity, albeit Serra’s back injury. This fight is purely to settle a grudge.

Matt Hughes stating that his own wife wanted to see Serra bleed makes for good pub, and I am sure in the days leading up the fight Serra will drop his share of F-bombs headed right to Hughes’ head.

It will be interesting to see if either of these fighters still have a place in the division of if this will be there curtain call?

I have more interest in this fight than I would in say Couture vs. Nogs, only because these two are evenly matched and hate each others guts. Put either one against GSP or Alves and they both would be done. But atleast neither one is overmatched. It should be interesting. But relevant in the division? I doubt it.

I am working on several posts regarding this fight. While some may not feel that it is relevant, it is in several ways.

Like him or not, Hughes is the best 170 ever! If Royce fought right now, it would be relevant in some fashion.

Yeah, Curtis cares a lot about this fight. But, like I said, it’s those die-hard Hughes and Serra fans.

Not me, so much.

I know one person in particular who wants to see Matt Hughes fight again. It’s our very own Curtis Clontz!
