Say what you will but serra will beat hughes. why you ask... i'll tell you.

serra is a little midget tank firehydrant type guy so hughes will not be able to shoot so easily on him. hughes will eat alot of the canvas trying and if serra is aggressive during hughes' attempts serra can really hurt hughes. and even if hughes gets serra down serra should be able to power his way out with his stocky short build.serra hits hard and will beat hughes on his feat. i understand hughes has a reach advantage but eating a few of hughes jabs is an easy task. he will frustrate hughes and hughes will get KOed or subbed. that's where i stand.

my opinion.

wow...i reallly cant say that i agree with that. Most of Hughes's opponents have had one thing to say about him, win or loose...he's a tank. His neck is so thick and solid, that chocking is nearly impossible (randy couture said that once) . he's incredibly strong and agile for his size. Speaking of size, He dwarfs Serra.

I agree but Hughes did get choked out by BJ Penn so like you said it's nearly impossible but it is possible.

My problem with this theory is Serra is honestly built more for 155 than for 170. So there is no way I ca see him out powering Hughes.

[Mac]

Hughes is going to crush Serra. He doesn't have to be able to shoot to take him down, he can do that from the clinch. He is going to overpower Serra from the start, he may not finish Serra because of his BJJ but he will win.

Hmmm !!! I truly wish you were right about this cuz there's nothing more that I would like to see than Matt Serra steamroll Matt Hughes but I just don't think it will happen I'm sad to say. I see Hughes getting Serra in his patent crucifix & controlling the fight & winning a clear cut decision & maybe even stopping Serra late in the fight. It's makes me sad to think this will be the outcome but I sure wouldn't want to bet my $$$$ any other way.

Hughes will be able to get Serra down. Matt has bad stand up and after watching what Serra did to GSP he we be relentless in his take down attempts. Hughes has been in many tuff fights and isnt stupid. Once he gets Serra down I dont think he'll be able to get back up. Maybe Serra gets lucks and pulls off a sub but i doubt it. Matt is going to get ontop him and just ground and pound or lay there like he did against Lyttle.

Matt Hughes wins a 5 round decision.

serra is a bad matchup for hughes, if he loses this fight that takes him out of the picture for a while. serra's biggest strength is his compactability, he's real small and knows how to throw hands. im a huge gsp fan and i gotta give it to serra for that crazy ass whippin he put on george. serra's confidence is at a good spot right now and i dont think hughes can get low enough to get serra on the ground. the idea of serra fighting at 155 would be unreal... if his strengeth in WW is being compact if he can cut to LW he'll get the belt fairly quickly, he'd be a fuckin rhinosaurus at 155..

[Steel]

The only way Serra will win is if he speaks loudly and shoots on Hughes with a debate on religion. The sound of Serra's voice combined with the repetitive nature of said speech will leave Hughes unable to answer.

Otherwise...Hughes is going to take down and throw around Serra at a will.

i would also have to disagree. i think matt is stronger than serra and IMO has better wrestling skills. i think hughes can stand up with serra if he wants, and then when the time is right he will take him down and ground and pound. maybe even submit it.
