This actually makes sense.
GSP has prepped for Hughes twice already, so short notice shouldn't be too bad. Plus, since GSP was prepping for either Hughes or Serra anyway, I'm sure he had already trained a bit for either.
Not to get lost in all this shuffle. Matt Serra is still the champion and the road to the real title still runs through him. I don't think Hughes or GSP can beat Serra (at his best). I hated the injury is keep him on the shelf for 6-18 months. All I can hope is that when he's healthy, he can still fight Hughes, and then GSP. Maybe then he'll be respected.
