Serra really needs to grow up imo, after he gets dominated by Hughes I think that his career in the UFC is over. I went into the show hating Hughes and liking Serra but that has since been reversed.

I agree. I thought that the "meeting" was plain stupid and annoyingly so. Hughes reacted like anybody else, I suppose. It was like a high school BS moment, like Hughes said. Hughes is not a young kid like these guys on the show. I can relate with him not wanting to make a bunch of friends that are ten-to-twelve years younger. I felt Hughes was just being serious and keeping it professional.

Also, since nobody on Serra's team stepped up to volunteer to have Hughes in their corner and training, then why should Hughes feel that he has to be friends with the guys that flipped coins to be switched? It's not like Hughes will sabotage these guys. Just the opposite. If Hughes helps them beat the guys that Serra matched thim up against, then he pokes Serra in the eye.

And, I agree also that my views of Serra and Hughes have changed. I never hated on Hughes, though. I did like Serra more as a person. But, now, Serra has dissappointed me with too much BS and his obsession with Hughes.
