Serra Injured, out of UFC 79

http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=8808

UFC President Dana White announced Thursday that Matt Serra will have to withdraw from the UFC 79 card on December 29th due to an injury he suffered after a training session earlier this week.

The current UFC welterweight champion, who was scheduled to fight Matt Hughes on the year-end card, suffered a herniated disc in his lower back on Monday following a routine training session in his Long Island gym.

“This is devastating news because they were so looking forward to fighting each other," said White.
“Unfortunately injuries happen and I look forward to Serra recovering quickly, and to getting him back into the Octagon.”

Serra had just finished a Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling training session and was demonstrating a move when he fell to the floor in excruciating pain. Serra went to the hospital and underwent an MRI, which revealed the herniated disc in his lower back.

That sucks! I was looking forward to Serra catching a beating.

Dammit. Who's Hughes gonna fight now? Too early for Karo Parisyan?

I'm with you Destino. Alot of people don't like Hughes but Serra's incesant name calling and mockery of him warrants a no holds barred ass whooping. I hope when him and Hughes finally meet Hughes beats the crap out of him. Hughes hasn't once called Serra names or mocked him, meat head maybe but at least he's "professional".

As far as Hughes not shaking Hightowers hand on TUF, why? Why should he give that punk the time of day. He goes into the room and pretty much questions Hughes' professionalism after already acting like he was too good to be cornered by Hughes. Then he refuses to train with arguably the best welterweight ever. I'm glad he got his ass beat. I'd like to see Mac and Tommy in the final, eat that Serra!

Depending on the length of time off, I hope Hughes fights nobody. If it's going to be a short stint, don't risk Hughes fighting some chump, getting a fluke injury, and having to sit out for 6 months. Anyone have any clue how long it takes to recover from an injury like this?

I actually like Serra's disdain for Matt Hughes and Hughes said he didn't rank Serra in the top 10 in the division so I think Serra's got a right to be pissed off. Too bad this fights not gonna happen for awhile, I think it'll be a slugfest for a few minutes.

Down playing another fighters skill is one thing, being a classless jerk in another. I think Hughes acted like an ass the last time he was on TUF with GSP. Not this time around. Maybe seeing himself on TV he saw just how much of an ass he was being and decided to not be that guy on this show. Serra on the other hand is relentless in the name calling and mockery and frankly it's making him look like a whiney little biatch.

Hughes is an ******* and everyone knows it, but I also think he's a better fighter than Serra and being an ******** doesn't change how great of an athlete you are.

Damnit! That's what happens when you train for 7 straight months without taking a break after a fight or something. All Serra's been doing is training and training others on TUF. He probably over-trained, point blank.

This really blows because the card for UFC 79 was looking real good. Let's see: The Lightweight belt is being held hostage - they have to do an interm title fight. This belt is being held hostage, Anderson Silva just defended his title, Randy is holding the belt hostage, and Rampage is nursing an injury until spring. We're gonna have to settle for non-title fights for a while. This blows.

That is so funny I can't even watch it!

Serra imitating Hughes' standup:

The way he sways his arms is exactly what Hughes does, watch Hughes vs. Trigg 2 and you'll remember all of this lol

[Cooked Crack]

Why did they let a TV show effect a championship bout? I remember being pissed that Serra wouldn't be able to fight till December, now it's going to be even longer. Are they going to let him keep that belt for a year without defending it? I don't like either of them but damn this match should have been happened.
