I thought Serra won to be honest.

    I don't know why they gived Hughes round 3 seriously. Serra did more on his back and got a takedown himself .

    I wont talk about robbery, but I feel Serra should have got the decision.

    Haven't seen it. I kinda hoped Serra would win but the fact that I won some cash from Serra getting out of round 2 I'm happy :).

    I agree, Serra clearly won round 1 and I felt he did more then Hughes to nick the 3rd round.

    Matt Hughes wins 90% of his fights by lying on top of his opponents, he doesn't do much work but get a decision.

    Bull**** decision. The 3rd is so easy to score ok both guys each scored a takedown and never passed the guards so look elsewhere Serra tried to submitt Hughes mutiple times Hughes did not try,Serra outstruck Hughes on the feet and ground. Serra actually tried finishing the fight. Clear round for Matt Serra **** the UFC judges they have ****ed up 2 fights in 2 months now.

    Could have gone either way, but it didn't bother me at all Hughes won. Only reason Serra took the first round was because he hurt Hughes with the headbutt(not intentional I know) Hughes Clearly took round 2 and round 3 could have gone either way but Hughes was in control of most of it. I didn't mind the decision at all.

    nah it was correct. Hughes won rounds 2 and 3. Serra got some shots and take down in the last minute of round 3 but hughes did more in round 3 to win the round.

    It was a disappointing fight really. With all the hype going in the fight about both fighter hating each other i expected somebody to KTFO each other.

    I was pulling for Serra, but by MMA rules, Hughes won it 2-1. It was still a boring, uneventful fight and hardly worth being called "Fight of the Night." So much for settling a grudge...

    :think how???
    he got one takedown and then went to sleep on serras chest..
    That was it!
    meanwhile serra got a takedown of his own and forced hughes to defend several submission attempts..
    i would have been happy if the fight was scored a draw but a blind man could see serra won that round if not the fight.

    I think Hughes edged it. It was close.

    I thought Serra cleary outworked Hughes in the 3rd. All Hughes did was score a takedown. Serra cancelled out that takedown with a takedown of his own, and was busier from every other angle.

    Very close fight, I thought maybe that takedown in rd 3 at the end by Serra might just have sneaked it myself, I kind of wanted him to win tho I wasnt too bothered as none of them are my favourite fighters.

    I gave Serra rd 1... Hughes rd 2... rd 3 either even or slightly to Serra.

    i too feel that serra took the last round which was the only one really up for debate.

    I thought Serra may have done enought to edge that fight, but I think the judges just went with what the most action was and scored the takedowns. I like Serra though because he always has some sort of sub attempt, the was more work than Hughes put in alone.
