At UFC 109, Matt "The Terror" Serra snapped a two-fight losing streak with a vicious first round knockout over Frank Trigg. The former UFC welterweight champion has now re-emerged as a relevant competitor and depending on whom you ask the Long Islander has also placed himself back into the upper echelon of the welterweight division.

The heavy-handed Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt is not entirely concerned about winning back his championship but is more determined on entertaining the fans with the most exciting fights possible.

With that said, let's take a look at the seven most exciting matchups for the only man to ever knockout Georges St. Pierre.

7. Phil Baroni

This would be a fun fight for several reasons. For starters, both fighters are from Long Island and are known for their entertaining back and forth pre-fight banter. Plus, they each have bricks in both hands and are constantly looking for the knockout.

Sure, "The New York Bad Ass" isn't exactly top tier competition but styles make fights and Baroni is a very exciting matchup for Serra.

This fight would be huge if it took place on the UFC's very first event in Madison Square Garden. Hopefully New York legislators get with the times and allow sanctioned MMA events within New York State sooner rather than later.

6. Mike Swick

Recently Swick has had some uninspiring performances against Dan Hardy and Paulo Thiago respectively. Back to back losses have exposed Swick and have fans scratching their heads thinking; "Really? This guy was in line for a title shot?"

Instead of having his name mentioned under the same breath as his AKA teammates Josh Koscheck and Jon Fitch, Swick is being compared to a fighter in a higher weight division: Keith Jardine. Much like Jardine, it seems Swick is stuck in Gatekeeper status in the welterweight division.

A big win over an ex-champ like Serra would be just the thing to get the Swick-hype train rolling again. The reality is, despite his recent performances Swick is a lot more skilled than most believe and he has name value. Serra has stated that he enjoys throwing down with name opponents and that is just what Swick is.

5. Matt Brown

"The Immortal" Brown has been on a demolition derby since competing on season seven of The Ultimate Fighter. Brown was defeated by Amir Sadollah in the semi-finals on the show but has boasted four victories in the Octagon and three have come by way of a TKO finish.

One of those victories came against Serra's best friend and training partner Pete "Drago" Sell at UFC 96. Brown beat Sell down pretty badly so surely Serra will be looking to avenge his friends lose should he and Brown cross paths.

Much like Serra, Brown is an extremely tough individual. He is a very dangerous striker and is also quite good on the ground as well. He might not be as big of a name as some of the other fighters on this list but stylistically a fight between "The Immortal" and "The Terror" could prove to be an all-out war.

4. Marcus Davis

Some of the most intense battles in the history of combative sports have been contested between a fighting Irishman taking on a fiery Italian. The classic boxing trilogy between the late Arturo Gatti and "Irish" Mickey Ward comes to mind.

While Davis and Serra are American-born they are...
