Matt Hughes old news?


Is "the most dominant welterweight of all time" Matt Hughes still valuable to the UFC? The once unstoppable Hughes(42-7) has only one win in his past four fights. Losing twice to Georges St. Pierre and knocked out by Thiago Alves, tearing ligaments in his knee in defeat. A long time grudge match with Matt Serra has been delayed due to both fighters suffering fromCheck Spelling injuries. The fight almost two years in the making has lost a significant amount of interest. Neither fighter is currently champion and both are coming off of losses.


The UFC will run out of fights for Hughes after the Serra match. Matching him up with names like Sanchez, Fitch or koscheck may spoil future title contenders opportunities. Few if any fans would watch Hughes versus St. Pierre for a fourth time.
