Matt Serra vs. Frank Trigg possible for UFC 110

If you’re wondering why Matt Serra hasn’t been booked to fight since his UFC 98 clash against rival Matt Hughes in May, it’s not because he’s been injured or taking the loss too hard. No, Serra has simply been busy working on his new 83,000 square foot MMA gym that will be opening soon.
“It’s going to be a beautiful martial arts facility,” Serra told FanHouse on Thursday. “It’s going to be the best one on Long Island, that’s for sure.”
But once that business is taken care of, Serra will refocus his attention on his climb back up the welterweight ladder. His new road to the title begins in Las Vegas on Feb. 6, as Serra said he has verbally agreed to compete on the yet-to-be announced card.
And while FanHouse has learned that Frank Trigg is one of the leading candidates to face Serra in February, he would not confirm nor deny that “Twinkle Toes” will be his next opponent.
Regardless, Serra, who has only competed twice since his career-defining title victory over Georges St-Pierre in April 2007, said he would like to fight more than once in 2010.
