If you thought that Matt Serra and Matt Hughes were any close to kissing and make up after their fierce rivalry on the ultimate fighter, then you are sadly mistaken. Serra went out of his way yesterday to claim that he was going to “retire” Matt Hughes when they fight. The funny thing is that I actually believe him. Matt Hughes is over the hill, and he hasn’t beaten any one notable in his past fights. He has lost twice to GSP and was viciously knocked out by Alves. So it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Hughes lost decisively to Serra and retired. But in MMA, you can’t count anyone out and if you use the performance of these guys against GSP as a gauge, both lost badly. So who knows.
