Never let it go to the judges.
Former UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra (9-6 MMA, 6-6 UFC), who has come out on the right side of four decisions – and the wrong of four others – in his near-10-year career, knows the mantra well.
And while Serra had hoped to finish arch-rival Matt Hughes (43-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC) during their 15-minute “Fight of the Night” at UFC 98 in May, the New York native still felt confident his hand would be raised when he heard the bell signaling the end of the contest.
Unfortunately for Serra, he didn’t.
“I’m not about to make any formal complaint or anything,” Serra today told MMAjunkie.com “It is what it is. Decisions can go your way or not.”
