Matt Hughes Will Be Able To Avoid Surgery

From MMA Weekly:

Matt Hughes on Tuesday provided an update on the status of his knee injury via his personal blog. The outlook for the multi-time UFC welterweight champion is promising. It appears he may not need surgery.
"Last Wednesday, I went in for my second MRI and also a stress x-ray. It all came back very positive and looks as though I will not need surgery," wrote Hughes.
"I still have to go back for my three-month check-up to find out more; but as of right now I can do more and start exercising a little bit."
Hughes sustained the injury in a non-title fight against Thiago Alves at UFC 85 on June 7 in London. In a blog entry written shortly after the fight, Hughes confirmed that he had partially torn the ACL ligament in his knee.
There is hope that he will be healed up for a fight with Matt Serra in early 2009, possibly as soon as January or February.

YEah, it will be good to see a warrior like Matt backaction. Finally we can see him whip up on Matt Sierra and shut that mouth of his, no matter how funny he is. He has no respect for Hughes.

I hope Serra Knocks him out!!! ....but he'll have to punch him behind the head to do that, and that's unlikely.

I dislike Matt Hughes as I feel he is cock, but not without backing it up mind you. Matt Serra is just a mouth piece, I hope Hughes stuffs it shut with a well placed fist !
