make anderson vs chuck happen for the nye show..that would make up for it i think..

silva fights in oct.. would 2 months be enough time for him to gain weight to move up to 205

Think back to Alves vs Hughes, Serra vs GSP, Liddell vs Jardine, Cro Cop vs Gonzaga...........

Penn has always stated that he has no motivation to defend the LW belt, so the real question is: Will Penn take Florian seriously?

ANOTHER MORONIC PENN-HATING POST FROM YOU???!!!!!

Penn NEVER stated he has no motivation to defend the lw belt. He stated he has no motivation to fight Heurta or Florian is what he said.

But, believe me, if fighting Florian is what he needs to do to get a shot a GSP he will. And he will win!!

let penn fight someone decent @ ww so at least he kind of DESERVES a title shot.

Hopefully the UFC will shed some light on this situation soon and let us know what the real deal is gonna be involving GSP and BJ.

UFC sucks when it comes to having their champions defend their belts.Look how long its been since Nog won his belt and hes barley going to fight at the end of the year.

Im sure that is due to the taping of the TUF show.

All Hughes talked about was Matt Serra this, and Matt Serra that.

He went into the fight with Matt Serra on his mind, and got beat by someone he didn't properly focus his training for.

i get what your saying, i still dont think hughes was dumb enough to take him lightly but he could have been thinking about serra while fighting him i dont know. and i didnt hear anything he said cuz i was at buff wild wings and it was too loud,

Ummmm let's see.....he weighs in at 185 after a weight cut, enters the octagon at around 195 after rehydration.

Luckily we have you tell us (as stated fact) what was going on in Matt's head and how it was the reason for his loss
