Time heals all wounds?

It almost always does. In Matt Serra's case nothing can be further from the truth.

After more than 21 months of talking smack and healing from injuries — and 13 months since his last fight — Matt Serra is finally getting his shot at Matt Hughes May 23 at UFC 98 in Las Vegas. I finally caught up with Serra Friday night. His hatred for his former friend turned archrival hasn't waned during his time off. It's escalated.

“Let me go on the record. I can’t stand him. I don’t like him. There’s a lot of pride on the line here," Serra said.

He was only getting warmed up. Not mixing words, he didn't back down from what he told me last September, that he wanted to retire Hughes. Frankly speaking, Serra's goal is to "decapitate" him.

There will be much more on this next week on MMAJunkie.com. If you thought Quinton Jackson and Wanderlei Silva hated each other, whoa boy.
