As for the Hightower meeting, it was stupid. He should know better than to bother talking to Hughes about anything than a masterful gameplan. Yeah, Hughes could've been cool about it since he's always saying the fight game is mental...but this is Matt Hughes - you're gonna get the smirk and put downs. That's how he rolls.
It was interesting that Serra let his fighters pick the fights. I (and Ray Longo) don't think it was the smartest thing to do but whatever. Serra was being a little too team-y...sure it sucks but let 'em go.

Really, he didn't let his fighters pick the fights. Richie said the last person he wanted to fight was George, and look who he is fighting. I think Serra made the right matchups. I'm sure he knows that Danzig is a good bit better than everyone else in the house, with the exception being George. No sense in making the two best fighters fight in the quarterfinals. JK wanted him so he got him. His next task at hand was to take out Speer. Saunders has good striking and a reach advantage, so I don't see that fight being a problem for him. He then put his best fighter (George) against his worst fighter (Richie), which makes good sense since this is a tournament. Then he was left with Matt vs Troy.
One of the best parts of this episode was when Mac was talking about being nice to Blake.
