UFC Interim Welterweight Title Match December 29th

It looks like there will be a welterweight title match at UFC 79 after all. As you know Matt Serra is out with a back injury, but UFC.com announced that Georges St Pierre will fight Matt Hughes on the UFC 79 card for the interim welterweight title.

Hughes and St Pierre have fought twice, each winning once. Hughes defeated St Pierre by armbar submission and St Pierre returned the favour by TKO'ing hughes in their rematch belt.

The winner of this bout will face Matt Serra (once his back injury heals) to consolidate the belts. In my opinion, this is really the match that should have happened anyway. It's a good call by the UFC.

Oh boy...not going to miss this one! You are correct in that this will be the 'real' deal. I lost a lot of respect for Serra after seeing more of his personality on Ultimate Fighter 6.
