Matt Serra fuera de UFC 79

El actual campeon peso welter de UFC Matt “The Terror” Serra no podra realizar su primer defensa del titulo contra Matt Hughes debido a una lesion.

Serra se lesiono entrenando y los estudios posteriores dieron como resultado una hernia discal, que le impedira su participacion en el proximo UFC 79: Nemesis, por lo pronto queda como pelea principal Chuck Liddell vs Wanderlei Silva.

“This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do,” said Serra. “I’ve never had a back injury before; I could hardly get off the MRI table. There is no way I can train through this, and I’m devastated, especially because this was such an important fight. I was looking forward to fighting Matt Hughes. All my training was going phenomenally until Monday – All I can do now is to get better and to fight again as soon as possible.”

La cancelacion de esta pelea no demerita en nada al evento, para la gente que no seguimos el Ultimate Fighter era como de relleno solamente, creo que las peleas mas atractivas de esta noche son Liddell vs Silva y Machida vs Sokoudjou.
