Georges St. Pierre will get another chance to kick Matt Hughes in the balls on December 29th when he steps in for Welterweight Champion Matt Serra in the main event of UFC 79: Nemesis.
Serra herniated a disc in his back during training last week and was forced to withdraw from the fight. Kudos to the UFC for putting in a viable contender in his place.
This fight will be for the Interim Welterweight Championship. One can only assume that Serra will fight the winner to unify the titles once he has recovered from his injury.
Hughes and GSP have fought twice before, each owning one victory.

ya awesome cant wait to see george kick his ass lets go st pierre
YES!!,CAN IT GET ANY BETTER!!!,THIS MAKES UP FOR THOSE LAST 2 SHITTY CARDS,ICEMAN AND HUGHES LOSE ON THE SAME CARD,LIFE IS GOOD …….
Alright! I was kind a hoping they’d fight instead. 1 good reason for Serra to keep that belt because Serra knows his reign is running out. HAHA.
that sucks i would have loved 2 c Serra kick hughes ass.St. Pierre kick his ass
That’s just crap timing. Love GSP but really wanted to see Matt and Matt fight again. Oh well the card is good. Have afunny feeling this will be a different sort of fight. Hughes trained probably studying Serra and now has to switch quick and study GSP. Firecracker is GSP!!!!
hughs is the best i like to see he kick gsp. gsp is a cry baby frinch candean. i dont have nothing agenst frinch or cando but i just dont like gsp. serra is a puk.
I’m so upset! I REALLY wanted to see Hughes kick Serra’s butt. I never thought Serra should have gotten the title (what a fluke) and I never wanted it taken from Hughes to begin with….but better GSP than Serra.
i think this is one of the better cards for a change cant wait gsp and chuck will be victorious lmao good luk to everybody. cant stand matt hughs
WTF is that supposed to mean??? That doesnt make sense! GSP owns the WW division! Think before you post! Biased moron!
WOW GSP must be pleased now he gets to beat both Serra and Hughes! Another fantastic fighter on one of the best ufc cards in years! GO ST. PIERRE!!!
Well I’m a Canadian and feel the way everyone else does about their country…. I LOVE IT!! The location a fighter hangs his hat shouldn’t matter its about his heart. Tough break for Serra, this must just be eating him alive. GSP do your stuff fella, should be an awesome fight card. I do hope Serra and Hughes end up fighting in the future. I figure GSP wins the belt in December and Serra and Hughes have to square off to see who gets the opportunity to try for the belt again.
disapointed hughes and serra isnt going ahead.but not as dissapointed as i believe hughes is,finding out hes fighting his old nemesis gsp.ha ha.
gsp has lost his invincability after getting kod.this will help hughes.but not enough 2 give him the win,i feel.
gsp by decision.
Didnt you see GSP vs Kos?
Hughes shouldnt get ANOTHER shot until he beats somebody like Fitch, Karo, Kos etc
What are you crazy….Matt H. is a DICK… GSP will take Matt to School one more time… I would have loved to see Serra kick Matt’s ass….BTW…it is FRENCH not FRINCH…
serra’s scared
MMAOHIO I couldnt agree more! btw brandon what were you doing when you posted this crap!!!
Serra isnt scared! He herniated a disc in his back! Hughes vs Serra will proberbly happen anyway after GSP proves himself the top guy in the world (again).
I BET YOU EVERYONE FORGOT ABOUT THIS…

GSP is probably watching this 10 X a day until December 29th. If i was GSP i would totally lose respect for Hughes and when GSP KO’s Hughes i hope he stands right over him…points in his face…and laughs his fucking ass off!!! Heres Hughes thoughts before Serra got hurt…”Gee im so glad im gonna be champion again after i beat Serra and then im gonna dodge GSP and retire with the belt before i have to face that guy again.” Now Hughes’ thoughts after hearing hes facing GSP again…”OH MY FUCKIN GOD!! I AM FUCKED NOW!!! THAT DUDE IS GONNA POUND ME FOR LAUGHING AT HIM AND IM GONNA RETIRE A CHUMP”!!
I hope the entire crowd goes for GSP and when Matt Hughes is lying dazed on the ground again they need to all stand on their feet and point and laugh.
After the beating gsp gave hughes last time why would anyone in their right mind think hughes has a chance this go around?gsp is the new era ,hughes days are finished ,he had one last chance at a title by fighting serra,all hope is lost now,god bless gsp and canada,ya babyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
This could be the best fight of 07..
Why yes it is French not Frinch and Canada not Cando! GSP is at the top of his game right now. Gotta love his style. Hughes better get ready AGAIN Yahooooo. That’s all I gotta say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Thats telling him!,the build up to this fight is gonna be great,i know one thing matt won’t stand and trade.
I keep hearing talk about GSP not being fight ready for this fight and he wont be ready for a five round bout…let me say this prior to this fight GSP was ready to go and compete at a Coligate wrestling tournament before he called the UFC for this bout…he is more than ready…LETS GET IT ON!
I do not like Matt Hughes what a jerk off. I was so glad to see the whole Milletich crew get smacked down. Dont even get me started on Tim Sylvia!!(wearing that belt every where you go, dork!) Any way I did not like Matt Serra either but faced with choosing, I opted for Serra. Now we get to see GSP!! This is great!! I am tired of seeing fighters just trying not to lose!
I agree 100% with you shaydie, I do fell that the HW div. is getting boring, I cant wait to see what Brock Lasner can bring to the table, I am tired of seeing boring ass fights from Tim Sylvia.. What about Roger Gracie, he is making his way up.. at 220lbs
I couldnt agree more bro!
Hell Yeah! My favorite WW will destroy Hughes AND serra! GO GSP!
Yeah I agree totally with that comment! Lesnar should bring something we havent seen much of into the octagon!
BTW guys two brits Paul Kelly and James Lee have signed with the ufc! Hopefully some guys who brits like me can cheer for unlike Bisping!
Those brits bring it every time,keep signing them.
Hell Yeah jer! You hear jer Dana!
Great to watch. Could use some newbies. Like I said before. The underdogs, as we see them because they are new may just bring some serious punishment to the cage. It only gets better eh. (eh; yup Canadian) LOL
i just want to see somefighting for a change tired of the drama the brits r usually a tuff bunch cant wait 4 new faces lets go get some dana
Dana is stalking me, I said he should scout the u.k! And he did! lmao
Count downs on folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will Paul Kelly or Lee be fighting in 79?
Hey Trishaaaaaaaa, NO….They will be fighting in 80…
B.J. Penn vs. Joe Stevenson (for interim lightweight title)
Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Fabricio Werdum
Marcus Davis vs. Jess Liaudin
Kendall Grove vs. Jorge Rivera
Jason Lambert vs. Wilson Gouveia
Antoni Hardonk vs. Colin Robinson

For me, 1.Randy HW

3.Dan H MW
4.Iceman
6.The PRDIGY..BJ
7. Jeff Curran at 145,I trained with this guy, he is a machine at 145, he has been around.His BJJ is the best we trained under Professor Pedro Sauer. My man will be fighting for the WEC title on DEC 12. against Faber..should be a good one. He has been in the UFC 46 and the Pride..
BIG JON IS SET TO RETIRE!!! NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I Agree, I just read that at MMA weekly……this will suck, It will be just like the last UFC…..something will be missing…
He is part of the main events, will never be the same. Let’s get it ON!
Nooooooo, he can’t gooooooooo! It’s not like the sport will die without him but when they introducedhim to ref the fight I would mimic the announcer as he was saying it. That’s really too bad. Damn good at what he does. The fights will go on. (but yes it will definately seem like something is missing)
He wont stick around for Chuck vs Wandy! Its a real shame! Another UFC LEGEND thats been there since the beggining is GONE!
I hope he does, That would be the Ideal match to retire at, Referee the GSP & Huges fight and the Chuck and Wandi! That would be the way to go out….we all will miss those famous word…..” LETS GET IT ON “
Hey…..I just want to remind everyone that on Dec. 12th the WEC chapion fights are on, Lets cheer on my man Jeff Curran!
WAR CURRAN! lol
In the WW it’s Hughes. Then GSP.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LOL
The reason why I like him, is because He beat The Legendary Royce Gracie, and the way he does those slams. And I admit his stand up is abit weak. But He my man in the WW.
Pie Face I think you favourite is GSP? lol
You have been reading my old comments LOL!
my boy matt.s is the best and will not lose
Words later for yah Eddie! LOL Good luck to both but…………………….go GSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey puss face i mean pie face check out Mats record dumb ass.he is one of the best ever 9 time champ
Countdown is on !!,can’t wait,i think were in for a great night of fights!gsp and the ice man should win
Hey folks I think the name calling can be left to the play ground don’t ya think?? Cheer for your guy and leave it at that, if you haven’t anything nice to say perhaps then you shouldn’t!!! Grow up!! Go GSP!!!!
Dude if you judge people by looking at their mma record then you shouldnt be watching mma! Look at Randy for example! Greatest HW champ ever!
sorry for the name calling matt is a friend of mine,randy is is a great fighter best heavy weight ever no way. Tim fought randy with the same kind of back problem serra has it MIGHT of bee different if tim was in the shape he is now. i like gsp but he is going to see a different matt Dec 29th.you need to talk to randy and ask him who he think is the best welterweight ever
ALL CLOSE BUDDIES EH!,LOL
This is the once great champion who is facing the new era in gsp ,it will be close for one rd then gsp will school the older guy!
last time matt stayed up with gsp this time it going to be ground and pound,,i have seen matt he is in the best shape ive seen him in in years.as far as down playing the millitech camp its you pie face that dont have a clue when it comes to the mma at one tome they held 6 belts why dont you stop in some night meet tim, jens, robbie, matt, spencer,.thats not counting the team fighters.
hey jer sounds like you and pie face are the close buddies lol is it true about the french lol
that we don’t fuck sheep?ya your right on that one ,now get outta the barn !
gsp schooled hughes last fight,right?,hughes could;nt handle the standup so he tried to take him down with a bear hug that gsp snapped like a twig and continued to beat the shit outta of him ,smart cash is on gsp..
it’s forums like this that make the buildup to the fight just as good as the fight itself
vegas odds gsp -250,hughes 200
Read my comments, Hughes is no doubt the best WW ever! Randy is the greatest ufc champion of all time though! Ask Dana White or Big Jon!
You are a HATER! When is the last time a Miletitch fighter won a ufc title? GSP will crush Hughes then maybe you will give him and my opinions the respect they deserve!
OK i dont have a clue about mma? LOL is that why I have over 700 posts on here! I cant wait until godboy gets his big head knocked off then GSP points then laughs at him along with the whole crowd! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! GO GSP!
I’M SENSING A LITTLE ANGER HERE!LOL,LOOSEN UP GUYS ,TAKEN THIS FIGHT FAN STUFF A LITTLE TO SERIOUS,WERE FANS ,LETS NOT TRY TO PRETEND WERE MMA EXPERTS,
I agree that Matt will be ready for this fight. But…. so is GSP. Just think about what they are thinking!!!!!!! Nerves, anticipation,adrenalin. Nobody ever said that we were experts but sure is fun to make our own predictions isn’t it. 3 more days people 3 more days! Got my party lined up, full bar fridge 52 inch and lotsa speakers!!!! Go GSP go Chuck! JMO cheers all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU KNOW HOW TO HAVE A FIGHT NITE PARTY TRISHA!IF GSP WINS AND THE LEAFS LOSE SAT NITE MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!LOL
