Serra thinks Hughes may be taking Gracie lightly

Now that Matt Serra is back on the winning track, he's ready to take some time off. When asked about who and when he wanted to fight next, Serra was non-committal on the topic saying whenever Joe Silva calls. If it fits in his schedule, he'll be ready to go.

His first order of business is to take in the Matt Hughes-Renzo Gracie at UFC 112 in early April. Serra said he'd love for the UFC to bring him over to Abu Dhabi in a promotional role so he could see the fight in person. Hughes has a rivalry with Serra from their appearances on Season 4 and 6 of "The Ultimate Fighter." Along with MMA trainer Marc Laimon, Hughes poked fun at Gracie jiu-jitsu. Hughes beat Royce at UFC 63 and Serra at UFC 98. Serra is a Gracie disciple.

Cagewriter asked Hughes at Strikeforce: Miami about why he took the Gracie fight. He joked " 'cause he's older than I am to be honest."

Serra was surprised by that answer.

"Maybe he's joking around that guy. He's doing that thinking Renzo's an easy fight. He's in for a rude awakening."

When asked about a rematch down the road, Serra said he doubts it'll happen and that Hughes wouldn't want it. If Hughes gets by the 42-year-old Gracie, let's hope there's a push for Hughes-Serra II. 

Sonnen rips Showtime says he prefers to fight the best

Chael Sonnen has been on fire the last week. First with his dominant win over top five middleweight Nate Marquardt. He also sizzled in front of microphones and cameras. As if the bevy of fighters he tore apart wasn't enough he even shredded Showtime on Saturday night.

"At the end of the day, if you want to get to the top of the card in the UFC, you gotta fight tough guys," Sonnen said during the UFC 109 postfight press conference (2:01 mark). "If you want to be a fighter and get in the cage and be a big deal at your local strip club, go to Showtime. If you want to fight real guys this is the place to be."

Sonnen was referencing Strikeforce, where its top middleweights include Dan Henderson, Jake Shields, Robbie Lawler, Nick Diaz, Tim Kennedy, Frank Shamrock, Scott Smith, "Jacare" Souza and his own teammate Matt Lindland.  

Sonnen is now in line for a shot at the UFC middleweight title. Anderson Silva defends his belt on April 10 against Vitor Belfort. Sonnen said he hopes Silva wins so he avoids the tougher fighter.   

Couture may be on the shelf for a while

Randy Couture is now 2-0 in his latest return to the light heavyweight division. After wins over Brandon Vera at UFC 105 and Mark Coleman at UFC 109, he appears to be in line for a potential title shot. The 46-year-old Couture just finished his third fight in less than five and half months. He may want a break but he joked that if UFC president Dana White called him to fight next week he may take it.

"The training camps have been good. We shortened the camps because of the quicker turnarounds," Couture said during the UFC 109 postfight press conference. "Which I now see as a real positive. I like the shorter camps."

Couture said he likes being so active. This is the first time he's fought this often since 2003. He's also been wise with his conditioning between fights hovering around 217 pounds. But after staying so busy recently, Couture may be in store for a long break. He's stuck in 205-pound limbo while the other top fighters return from injury and making movies.

Couture said he wasn't very interested in going back up to heavyweight because the size and skill of the top fighters has improved so much. But White indicated later that he wasn't ruling out Couture back at heavyweight (video below 0:20 mark).

White scoffed at the notion that Couture may not return until August but that looks like the most realistic timeline unless he's a fill-in for an injured fighter. At 205, the title is up for grabs between Mauricio Rua and Lyoto Machida on May 8 and Rashad Evans meets Quinton Jackson on May 29. Is there another 205er worth pitting against Couture? And more importantly, one that he'd be interested in fighting? One possible scenario is an injury to Forrest Griffin before his May 8 fight, where Couture could fill in against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

At heavyweight, the top four guys behind Brock Lesnar are fighting on Feb. 21 and Mar. 27. Even if one of the fighters got injured, there wouldn't be enough time for Couture to get ready for the fight unless Frank Mir or Shane Carwin were dropped from UFC 111 in the next week or so.

White said repeatedly before and after the fight that he thinks Couture is top five in the world at 205. Is that inaccurate? Are the USAToday/Bloody Elbow rankings correct in slotting Couture at No. 11 behind guys like Griffin, Nogueira, Rich Franklin and Thiago Silva? Who else are we missing? Who could Couture fight instead of waiting for Evans, Rua, Machida or Jackson?  

White says Coleman's career with the UFC is finished

Mark Coleman was trying to remake his career with a win over Randy Couture. The 45-year-old Coleman just didn't have enough to knock off his fellow legend losing via rear-naked choke. As main events go, it wasn't the worst show at UFC 109. Coleman, who was defended vehemently by UFC president Dana White before the event, probably did enough to earn another fight, right? Wrong. White told the media at the UFC 109 postfight presser that it was the end of the road for Coleman.

"I think tonight was probably Coleman's last fight in the UFC," said White. "I just think he'll have a hard time competing with the guys at the top of the level. Age is a factor with him."

White said even a heated promotion involving Coleman and Tito Ortiz didn't interest him.

"Tito's a lot younger than him."

Ortiz set off Coleman during his postfight speech in the cage with Joe Rogan. Ortiz cursed out Coleman while walking by the Octagon and his girlfriend Jenna Jameson flipped him off.

White didn't even understand what was going on.

"Tito's talking [expletive] to Coleman after Coleman just lost this fight that he's wanted his whole life? Tito's fighting Chuck [Liddell]. I'm not even thinking Tito-Coleman." 

The decision to cut Coleman seems a bit odd considering it was just two days ago White was chastising fans/media for saying Coleman was too old to be in the main event of a UFC card. Two days later White's saying age is a factor. Huh?  

The last UFC main event fight who wasn't brought back for another fight was Tim Sylvia, who chose to sign a big deal with Affliction and fight Fedor Emelianenko. Who was the last UFC main eventer immediately cut because the promotion didn't think he could fight anymore? 

Sonnen hopes for a Silva win to take 'easy' path to the title

Victory in hand at UFC 109, Chael Sonnen wasn't about to miss an opportunity to fan the early flames before his UFC middleweight title shot. Dana White was asked if Sonnen would indeed be getting a fight against Anderson Silva before the moved out of the division to 205 pounds. White said that would happen and Sonnen, a good wrestler and takedown specialist, would be an interesting matchup for Silva. Sonnen was stoked.

"I hope Anderson wins because I think Vitor [Belfort] is a lot tougher fighter. If I had to choose the low road and take the easier opponent in getting to the championship."

Sonnen said he thinks Belfort is the better fighter stating that he's never really lost a fight on the feet. This was a continuation of what Sonnen said during the prefight about Silva and his No. 1 pound-for-pound ranking by many.

"That guy’s no more the top fighter out there than Bigfoot is roaming the woods," Sonnen told MMAWeekly Radio. "That is an absolute myth, and all these guys can buy into it, but there’s a young man out in Portland, Ore., that is not signing up on that bandwagon…If Anderson ever signed to fight me, which is highly unlikely, he’ll be getting a verbal beating like you’ve never seen."

Sonnen beat Nate Marquardt to steal away a title shot that was guaranteed by White during Thursday's UFC 109 press conference. Silva and Belfort meet in early April at UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi.
