oh ok. then he fights serra when he gets back?
As I think about it, this is the best thing that could have happened for all three:
Serra: Had he fought Hughes & won, he would have had GSP next. Now he only has to fight one.
Hughes: He now has an opportunity to redeem himself against the humiliating defeat and cement himself as perhaps the most dominant fighter ever (calm down Fedor nut huggers).
GSP: He now has a chance to accelerate regaining hi title and then avenge a loss to Serra.
I hope GSP is ready for this.
