Matt Serra (11-7-0) wird am 5 July in die UFC Hall of Fame aufgenommen, und ist damit das 15. UFC HOF Mitglied. Serra war der TUF 4 Sieger, allerdings sehr umstritten, da er das Finale durch eine Split Decision gewann in einem Fight den er eigentlich verlor. Serra bekam dadurch allerdings einen Titlefight und schaffte 2007 einen der groessten Upsets der MMA Geschichte als er GSP ausknockte. Den Title verlor er allerdings gleich wieder im Refight gegen GSP.
Matt Serra: “This is an honor to say the least. I turned professional in 1999, during the dark ages when MMA was almost finished in the US. I didn’t become a mixed martial artist because there was a ton of money and fame to be had – there was none back then. I began competing in MMA because I love the sport, and that took me all the way to the UFC championship, and, now the UFC Hall of Fame. I love the sport as much as I ever did, and I couldn’t be happier or more honored right now.”
Eigene Anmerkung: Serra gab 1998 sein Pro MMA Debut, das hat er wohl selbst vergessen…
