Although the disappointment showed on his face, Matt Serra kept his UFC 98 fight with Matt Hughes in perspective on Saturday night.

“I knew it was close. I knew I won the first. I felt I lost the second, and I thought I squeezed out the third, personally. It was close, so what are you going to do?” he assessed at the UFC 98 post-fight press conference.

Hughes had the same perspective on the fight as Serra, only differing in his vantage point, saying, “I thought I had it. I’m sure Matt (Serra) thought the same thing. I thought I lost the first round and won the second two. The second round, I thought the majority was definitely on my side. I thought the third round was maybe a little closer, but I still thought it was mine.”
