— In the days following his loss to Georges St. Pierre, former UFC Lightweight champion Matt Hughes said he was considering retirement. After wrapping up a national book tour, Hughes tells UFC.com that he’s not retiring and he still wants to fight Matt Serra:

“I told (UFC President) Dana (White) that I might take a little time off to see my family and because I’m starting this new gym, the H.I.T. Squad, and I’m getting my clothing line out there. But I want to see Georges and Matt fight, and I told Dana that I’d probably like to fight Matt Serra after that fight. If Matt loses, I’ll be looking to fight him. The fans will definitely see me in the Octagon again. I will be there.”

— This week Chuck Liddell spoke to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer about his next fight in the UFC:

“My next fight will probably be in the summer and I am thinking about Jardine since Jackson is already scheduled to fight (Forrest Griffin). I can’t wait around (for Jackson). I love the sport and I think I have a couple years left in me. I’m a very competitive person. I don’t even like to lose at things I’m not good at.”
