Hughes will Face Serra is GSP Wins

Matt Hughes is fresh off a nationwide book tour and has stated that he won't be retiring just yet and would like to fight Matt Serra, if Serra loses the title to Georges St. Pierre.

It's a pretty safe bet that they'll fight regardless of who wins the Serra-GSP fight. However it does put the UFC in a bit of a pickle if Serra does win. That means that Serra will fight Hughes and if Hughes wins, he's the champ. Does GSP get a title shot at Hughes if that's the case? It makes no sense for GSP to fight Hughes for a fourth time but that could be the outcome.

But reality is, GSP is fighting Serra and Hughes is waiting in the wings. Hughes says he has a few fights left and it's a guarantee that fighting Serra will be one of those fights.

My opinion is that as good as a fighter Hughes is, his losing streak is kinda telling me his "hey day" is somewhat over. I really dont think if Hughes fights GSP again, he will win, and if he does......i thought he wanted to write another book & tend to the farm. He has said "i'm a farmer before i am a fighter" I also think Matt Serra will lose.

If GSP wasn't in the welterweight division the he probably would still be the champ. GSP has his number and you're right, he probably will beat Serra. However, we'll be rooting tremendously for Serra.
