I wish I could agree with you, but I just don't see any real repeat losers still in the UFC. Like when Tito was coming back and fought Vitor Belfort. since then, we haven't seen vitor. Baroni lost twice... he's gone. the numbers go on and on. Aside from The Ultimate Fighter 4 cast, there haven't been real repeat losers asked to return. If I were to cite an exception it'd be BJ Penn and the only reason they kept him around is because in both losses (GSP and Hughes) he was arguably ahead on the score cards until he gassed. now we wanna see what he can do if he's in shape. Plus I think Dana is kinda a dick about fighter's careers... when Tanner couldn't beat Franklin he said it was over. etc.

glad chuck/silva fight is happening... finally, but somehow it doesn't seem to be as interesting... silva looks like a hungry coyote by the way...

I think everyone in this thread is underestimating Serra. Serra is a good fighter, everyone is already saying he doesn't have a chance against hughes or it's unlikely he'll win. He beat GSP. Sure GSP was probably a little off his game, but still...HE BEAT HIM. Don't worry im a GSP SUPER FAN, so that's hard to say for me. He was also ULTIMATE FIGHTER season champion. I know, it apparently means nothing cuz they're "washed" up but Give Serra some credit, you can tell by the way he talks and the way he trains, he knows what he's doing strategy wise and what's to say after this win, he doesn't train his ass even harder to beat the shit out of Hughes cuz he hates him that much more. I think it's possible that Hughes is gonna be over confident and lose. It's like going for the title all over again, except this time if he loses, he'll have to face hughes being a big douchebag to him and rubbing it in his face which GSP would not have.

Hughes is respectable after he wins fights, I hope he embarrasses Serra though. Serra is always saying Hughes is a jerk and cocky yet Serras the one who has been running his mouth the whole time, he needs to be shut up and Hughes is JUST the guy to shut him up.

I am pulling for Clementi for sure. Standing or on the ground Rich can win this fight.

Nate Diaz beating B.J. Penn?

i think the result of the hughes/serra fight is all down to hughes' gameplan. if he goes out there looking for his dream knockout like he did against gsp he's gonna be in trouble. sure, hughes has only been knocked out once in his career, but that's because in all his other fights he was looking to take it to the ground.

i'm glad liddel/silva will finally happen, the win is vital for both fighters. if both fighters are on top form both physically and mentally then this could truely go either way.

I gotta agree with Liam. Matt Hughes has been talking about getting a friggin' knockout like it's some big career goal, but the fact that seems to be escaping him... is that as an elite ground-and-pound fighter that has been improving his striking he should be using those strikes to take the fight to the ground. If he is going to base his gameplan on his striking ability, he's moving away from his niche and far more likely to fail. Serra has proven time and time again that he has decent standup, albeit not fantastic... but more proven that Hughes's standup. Serra's got a good chance in this fight either way... as long as he can avoid taking any big damage from the bottom position.

PLEASE FOR SOME REASON MAKE THIS LIDDELL-SILVA A 5 ROUND FIGHT!!
