Matt Hughes UFC 85 KNEE Injury
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
Matt Hughes reports on his blog this week that a doctor has told him that he has a fully torn MCL and a partially torn PCL in one of his knees.
Hughes has been told both injuries may be able to repair on their own without surgery so he is holding off on any surgery right now. He also says that he will be seeking a second opinion.
These injuries were presumably suffered at UFC 85 where Hughes lost by second-round TKO to Thiago Alves and fell awkwardly on his knee in the process. However, Hughes does not confirm this on the blog entry and does not specify which knee is injured.
~Well, it looks like the SERRA vs HUGHES fight is put on hold again. Even if Hughes better days are behind him the SERRA fight is a must. These guys really had the bad blood needed to sell a fight at the end of the TUF season. It's to bad we didn't get to see that happen before Hughes suffered two very tough losses. I hope this doesn't effect him mentally and he comes out 100% against Serra. I can't say i'm leaning more towards hughes, but regardless I hope they both come in shape and healthy.

First Serra, now Hughes…
At this rate, they’re gonna settle their feud with wheelchair races.

Is Serra just waiting on the Hughes fight? I’m assuming he’s totally healthy now.

It’s amazing how quick the fall from the top of the mountain can be.

The cursed card
Having Hughes hustle in to fill this slight in a fight nobody really cared about has come back to bite the UFC. The Hughes/Serra fight would do good box office and packs lots of heat—now they’ve postponed it at the least, and maybe lost it entirely.

Bad Timing
It looks like by the time that fight happens alot of ” fans” will already have forgotten about the great build up the season gave them.
