"I had a talk with Joe Silva (UFC matchmaker) and we talked about some interesting things. I was definitely first pushing for a rematch. That would be ideal for me. I'd love to fight Matt Hughes again. I told [Joe Silva], ‘Look, man, you've already got the name for it, "Unfinished Business."' There you go." - Matt Serra
Former welterweight champion Matt Serra (16-6) talks to Fight Magazine about wanting a rematch with his rival, Matt Hughes (43-7).
The two Matts have fought once before - at UFC 98. Long-time enemies, the two served as coaches on the sixth season of The Ultimate Fighter, which took place in 2007. When they finally fought at UFC 98 earlier this year in May, Hughes came away as the victor by unanimous decision.
According to Hughes, after the fight, Serra told him that their rivalry was over. He two men embraced and exchanged words without anger. However, after Serra's recent statements, it appears that he has changed his mind about calling off the rivalry.
While a rematch of Serra vs. Hughes is possible, it will have to wait until next year. Hughes, who recently signed a multi-fight contract with the UFC, is not set to return to the Octagon until early 2010.
