According to his blog it appears that former UFC Welterweight Champion Matt Hughes won't be fighting his nemesis Matt Serra anytime soon. Hughes sustained the injury to his knee in the loss to Thiago Alves back in June at UFC 85: Bedlam. He had this to say in his personal blog,
“Went to the doctor yesterday, he performed quite a few tests on my knee. With the results of the tests on my knee and from what I have told him, he definitely thinks the MCL and the PCL is rebuilding itself. The next time I go back up there, in a month to a month and a half, I will get an MRI and that way he can get a picture of the knee and he can see better what’s going on. So right now, I’m going to work out lightly, try and build up my quadricep as much as I can. Do nothing with the hamstring really, from what he said and he says possibly being able to fight in 6-7 months.”
Looks like Matt Hughes has a long road to recovery up ahead. We at urdirt.com hope that he can get better and hopefully have his match with Matt Serra which will most likely happen in early 2009.
