Just watched episode 10. Quite honestly Matt Serra’s constant “I hate Hughes” attitude is getting old and disappointing. I’ve trained with guys like that before, heck, I went through second grade with guys like that.

Why are we not surprised that Matt Serra found a way to avoid facing you in
the Octagon on December 29th? He is such a pygmy - mentally as well as
physically! In the clips of his “win” over Georges St. Pierre - when they put
the Welterweight belt around him - he is so short, he looked like he was wearing a turtleneck! It is becoming more and more obvious that he is no
Champion - just a sawed-off “one trick pony” with a big mouth and the worst
case of “Short Man Syndrome” I’ve ever seen! We admire your ability to rise
above the childishness and pettiness of his team and to give your team the coaching and leadership they came for - the mark of a REAL champion!

I am sure Serra is really hurt, as I have said before I would never challange the courage of any fighter in the UFC, however it sure does look a little funny. After spending all that time around a class act as yourself he now hurts his back and has to pull out of the fight? Could it be he started to over train because he was getting a little nervous about the fight and knew he could be losing his title in a couple weeks? Just doesn’t seam fair to you Matt, maybe he should have breathed better!!!Any idea when the fight will be rescheduled?

Matt, I woke up this morning and heard that Serra is not going to fight now. I’m ticked!! He is scared!! What is going to happen now? I know there will be a lot of questions but your true fans will want to know what’s up so try to keep us posted. God Bless! John King

Matt, I think you are right. Serra should have coached two, and you should have coached and cornered the other two. It got past the point of them being loyal or disloyal to Serra - there can only be one Ultimate fighter. How could he not corner his guys? He could have put other coaches in too.

I always figured that Serra’s trash talking was for the cameras - what he thought he was supposed to do for the cameras. However, more and more, his side comments to the camera seem both real and inappropriate.

I think you may have underestimated Hightower during tryouts. He seems like a lightweight, but he has some natural talent and his heart was in it. If he could hone his ground skills, he might be someone to contend with.

I think Tommy has a lot of potential, but he needs to train more with someone like you to get more ground skills. Strength can get you so far, but he needs to be able to defend and then reverse from the ground - I too saw him tap on the TV replay. Not to say that he didn’t deserve the win, but Tommy himself knows, I think that for a split second he really did tap in the rear naked choke from War Machine.

Matt, I think you are a great coach, and martial artist. Keep up the good work; you have fans out there too.

I think the way some of these guys trash the house is so disrespectful to Dana and the oportunity they have before them. They are such babies. Matt, you have more class in your little finger than these idiots. I will be watching in December for you to finally put Serra in his place. Walk quietly but carry a big stick. Love Ya, Nancy

Well I cant do bowling to save my life. When I was at school it was all the rage Anywho…I suspect they picked the one sport you told them not to, so that Serra has something to talk about between the Finale and the Fight. I mean, they have to try and get someone other then himself to believe he’ll win LOL.

At the end of the day he can go round chanting that he beat you at bowling, wont mean a thing if he cant beat you at Fighting. Nice smoke screen though to make us think he stands a chance! I can just hear him now “Of course i’m gonna keep my belt…I beat Matt at Bowling”….yeah and if you believe that…

Matt, please do all of your fans and MMA in general a huge favor and train like there is no tomorrow to destroy this loud mouth thug. He is a poor representation of the sport. What a bone head. While watching the TUF marathon, I had to mute the tv when ever Serra spoke. He does not know the meaning of professionalism. You have been a great coach to these young guys. It is up to them to listen to you and follow through. I look forward to seeing you re-take your rightful place the the true champion that we all know you are. Have a great Thanksgiving!!

Matt, I think Dana needs to sit down with Serra and explain the show to him. He left his two guys out to dry and had no intention of helping them out. If he had any type of character he would have made the decision on the last show and just sent both Ritchie and Troy over to your side. They are the two that really needed a lot of coaching heading into the biggest fights of their careers. George and Matt would have done alright left on their own for those fights. It just goes to show that Serra is such a classless guy who has already decided who he wants on his team to win. It is going to be interesting to see who he “sells out” next on the show. Where was he when you were looking out for you guys trying to get them some extra cash in the coaches challenge? I am surprised that he didn’t asked to double his money…in my mind as a fan, Serra should be kicked off the show for what he did last episode, wonder if he is going to give up that easy on December 29?
