Matt Serra vs. Matt Hughes has been in the works for 13 months. The two finally collide May 23 in Las Vegas, and if you think the rivalry has lost some spark, think again.
Serra is a reporter's dream. He'll come right at you and say whatever's on his mind without any regard of the censors. He's also one of the more fun and friendly personalities you'd ever meet. But he'll have to take his game up at least five levels by May. Serra hasn't fought since last April and even though Hughes is past his prime, he's an MMA legend and has the same bad intentions going into UFC 98. Whether Hughes calls it a career after this fight, which he's hinted, the last thing he wants is a loss to Serra, period.
Then again, Serra is hell-bent to not see Hughes' hand raised in victory.
"Do you think he'd be a gracious winner?" Serra said. "I can't have that. I cannot – cannot – lose to this guy, and I know that."
