Diamond In The Rough: Hughes vs Serra





Matt Hughes
Former UFC WW Champion#5 Welterweight

Matt Serra
Former UFC WW Champion#11 Welterweight TUF 4 Winner

Okay so these two guys have a burning desire, a desire so hot that Lucifer himself would need a trip to the North Pole and he'd want a room in an ice hotel with air conditioning, to beat the living hell out of each other! However, with this dynamic heat and friction we could see a diamond in the rough. This could turn out to be one of the "fights of the night!" Why? Well listen up fight fans, there are so many trade offs in Strengths and Weakness here it really will get down to who can maintain their fight plan the longest! Can Serra stay off his back? If not, can he strike well from his back and can his superior jiu Jitsu submit Hughes as we've seen in the past? Can Hughes close the mid fighting range and take Serra down to finish him with strikes? Will Hughes be a new man and bring proficient hands into the cage to surprise us all or has the "CURSE" of the cage fighter struck yet another veteran who has long out stayed his peak performance years in this sport we call MMA? One can only speculate but we will speculate with a sense of awe and sadistic enjoyment!
