Thing is, Serra didn't have to be pinpoint accurate in that fight...GSP's issue with duckin' and weavin' is pretty well-documented.
All I'm saying is, Serra fought that fight exactly like he was supposed to. If it had gone past that point, I'm not sure it would have ended in GSP's favor, and Serra is still a bad matchup for Hughes.

Hughes was a great cat.
That being said, he is done and will get his ass kicked by any real opponent.
GSP, Pen, Word!
