Matt Sera Says He's Not Retired And Is Looking For A Fight

[No More Sorrow]

By the time September rolls around, it will have been two years since we last saw former UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra compete inside the Octagon. That, however, doesn't mean Serra is retired.

"I'm going to say if I have to lean one way, I'm definitely going to say you're going to see me again in the UFC," said Serra, while appearing on The MMA Hour recently. "I really got no answers for you as far as when and who and all that kind of stuff but eventually."


Serra currently has an interest in the upcoming finals of The Ultimate Fighter: Live tournament, as his pupil, Al Iaquinta, is set to meet Michael Chiesa this Friday night for the crown.

He hasn't been relevant in years, but I'm a fan of him. So even if it was a one and done I'd be alright with him fighting once more.

Seems like a hell of a lot longer than Two years since he's fought in the UFC though, i barely remember the fight but it was at UFC 119 against Chris Lytle.

Mannnnnn I bout completely forgot bout the guy. Shoot let him come in one more time. Should be a pretty good fight.

I completely forgot about him as well. I enjoyed watching him in TUF and then winning the title from GSP but I had assumed that he had retired from the sport. Has he been injured or have UFC simply stopped calling him?

Well last June, he had his second child and wants to be apart of his life. So he was just taking a break from competition that's what he said at least as for the reason why he hasn't gotten a call from the UFC.

Kind of a BJ Penn like situation where he's waiting for the right time.
