We could not have asked for a better night last night watching UFC 85 on the new 52" LC television with the main event between Matt Hughes Vs. Thiago Alves. I was a bit surprised how it turned out (Thiago Alves won by TKO @ 1:02 in the 2nd round). I know Matt took that fight on short notice, but I think his priorities and focus are just shifting a bit and maybe fighting isn't as high on his list as it once was. To me, it seems like he is moving on to another phase in his life. 
However, at the end of the fight he said that he has "one last fight" left and that he wants to fight Matt Serra. Since Serra had to withdraw from fighting Hughes in UFC 79 (due to a herniated disc), this fight needs to happen and soon. So this has me thinking, "who is going to win?" Hughes is known for his superior strength and wresting skills. Serra is known for his credentials in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Both have amazing ground games. And you know as much as I do how unpredictable this sport is.
As an FYI, Hughes has fought 48 matches, with 41 wins and 7 losses. Serra has fought 14 matches, with 9 wins and five losses.
Rumor has it that the fight will happen in UFC 89 0r 90. Who do you predict as the winner?
