according to ufcjunkie.com, since they are going to be coaches for the upcoming TUF show, we will have to wail even longer for their next fight...............does this suck or what? we might have to wiat 6 to 8 months before the fight!!!! it will be more hyped due to the show but we have to wait longer...good or bad???

Bummer, I would like to see this fight, plus with all the talent in the WW division (GSP, Kos, Sanchez, Fitch,etc) it sucks that those guys will all now have to wait even longer for shots at the title. Oh well, still though, it should be a good show and it will build up the fight well.

Just to clarify, UFCjunkie.com simply posted this information for our readers who didn't realize the fight had already been postponed. The news is a few days old, so I didn't want anyone thinking we were passing this off as a breaking story.

This is a bunch of crap. That means that Serra gets to hold on to his title for almost a year, for the simple reason that Dana and the bunch want to keep TUF afloat. I haven't seen a single episode this season and really don't have the inclination to do so.

Plus, why the hell, beyond the fact that they want to set up a fight against Hughes, does Serra get to be a coach? That would be the same as if Griffin had gotten an immediate title shot against Chuck after TUF1, landed some lucky shot, and became the coach next season. Just let it go Dana.....

Duely noted, and Yes i was aware. That does suck but how the hell else was the UFC going to get anyone to watch another season of TUF without Serra and Hughes being on it?

Who cares if it's postponed. We all know who wins anyway.

I think Serra gets to be a coach because he showed that he was a pretty good coach when he was cornering the other guys on his team in TUF 4. Plus b/c of the things he said about Hughes it gives the UFC a chance to hype up bad blood between the coaches, ala Penn/Pulver and Tito/Shamrock.

That's what everyone said about the GSP/Serra fight. Now granted I think Hughes does win this one, but still, this year has proved making sure predictions doesn't work real well.
