By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief "I was definitely first pushing for a rematch. That would be ideal for me. I'd love to fight Matt Hughes again. I told [Joe Silva], 'look man, you've already got the name for it, "Unfinished Business." There you go'... I'm not going to sit here and bad mouth [Hughes] because we did fight. I'm not going to attack him personally, but at the same time I do feel I won that fight, or at least I should have got the nod. If not, it's a draw and let's do it again... I thought it came down to that last round. And he might have been on top of me longer, but definitely the 30 seconds I was on top of him, or 40 seconds, what ever it is, I definitely landed more than he did probably the whole fight. I landed more power shots at least. I landed two or three shots that definitely connected with him when I was on top of him at the end, not to mention the big throw. I thought I won the first and third rounds. I'm not alone in that... [Other than that] I want a fight that on paper is exciting as hell and a name that's like a cemented name where it's like ah, that's a fight I've been wanting to see."
-Matt Serra talks to MMAWeekly.com about still wanting to fight and, more specifically, still wanting to fight Matt Hughes.
Penick's Analysis: It's a fight I wouldn't mind seeing again. It was a decent fight the first time around but I think everyone was expecting more, and a rematch could still do some big business. As for who else Serra can fight, one name he floated out with some interest was Frank Trigg, and that's a bout that wouldn't be too bad to see either. If he wants the fights he's talking about here, with guys that would make people say "I want to see that", Hughes and Trigg are probably the top two on that list right now.
