Matt Serra is extremely underrated. Yes, he produced the greatest upset ever. And yes, they were losses to Penn and Hughes, but the man had two very, very good fights with the other welterweight greats of his time, outside of GOAT GSP, and I don't think that gets appreciated enough. Honestly, it makes GSP's utter one sided domination of him in the rematch even more impressive considering his much, much closer fights with Penn and Hughes.

both his fights against penn and hughes were razor thin for sure. I think that puts Serra in pretty good company when It comes to all time status during that time period. For that era, he was one of the better guys for sure and very underrated.

@John Neino Serra also knocked out Frank Trigg at UFC 109: I was there. It was such a fun experience. Stayed at the "UFC sponsored hotel," which was Mandalay Bay. For about three days leading up to the event, I'd run into around 5-6 fighters every day at the hotel and casino. It was kind of funny when Serra KO'd Trigg. Like 30 minutes after the fight, Trigg sat down like 2 rows in front of me ( I got really good seats for my first event) and was just chillin' in jeans, a t-shirt, and a backpack. That was a trip. I also ran into Nate Diaz in the concourse between fight when I went to get a beer. At that time, the UFC REALLY branded Diaz poorly. But, I trained at the Renzo Gracie Academy, so Diaz was cool as shit. He was definitely the nicest, most chill fighter I met. We talked for like 10 minutes.

While I know there are benefits to being a spiritual person, he took it to the degree that while training his team on one of the TUF seasons he passed around bibles to his entire team. Then he stated that he wanted them to read the entire thing. And for their homework he wanted them to state which religous figure in the bible represented Matt Hughes. To consider yourself important enough to think you are a biblical prophet, well I dont think he understood the message of the bible. In college I took a bible as literature course (new testament) . Long story short I learned that the bible has one very simple lesson in its pages: Be a good person, that judgment of your fellow man is reprehensible, and that god loves all of us equally and unconditionally. Im not a Christian, but I will say that the vast majority of Christians I have met missed the entire lesson that the bible was trying to get across.

I think that ground and pound are the most exciting shots, and those big punches and elbows from full guard/full mount do the most damage.

[@harveydent5334]

When i use to play ufc undisputed, i was nervous to fight matt Hughes cause his grappling was insane in the game

[@craigr4763]

I honestly thought that Serra won it. I don't think there's anything more he could have done. He played to his skillset perfectly and defended well when on the ground. It was surely 1 round each going into the 3rd, and I thought that counter ought to have won it. He was the least hurt, the most composed, and the most tactical. When it's a close fight, considering everything, Serra was the better fighter. He took the 3rd for me, given that he neutralised Hughes' attack, advanced positions on the ground, and was on top at the end. Say R1 was 10-9 Serra, R2 10-8 Hughes, and R3 10-9 Serra, then it's at least a draw - I can only think then that it was the takedowns that scored so heavily, but then that's lame because Hughes is huge and the smaller man is always going to get taken down. Hence, why score it so highly? And if they were favouring takedowns, then they should have rewarded Serra's takedown more, especially given that he's the smaller man.

[@Grind2Excellence]

Yeah it’s bs

[@ivanwesley8182]

Agreed. Cerra should have had a 2 pt first round, Hughes never hurt him or did anything but hold him down. Cerra won this fight

[@matthewphillips7741]

Why should he have a 2 pt first round??? Everything he hurt Hughes with was illegal? And the big punch at the end? Also illegal

[@conorwellman8592]

I give it to Hughes. It was close but he won the 3rd it was simply because he was in control for the majority of the round. Also it would be hard for me to give it to Serra when the only time he had Huges in trouble was after an unintentional headbutt past that the majority of the fight was controlled by Hughes so he won.
