The following is a breaking news story from http://www.Matt-Hughes.com, the official website of the former UFC Welterweight champion:

BREAKING NEWS: Matt Fighting Georges St. Pierre at UFC 79!

November 24th, 2007

I’m going to fight Georges St. Pierre on December 29th. I’ve got a couple reasons why I’ve made this decision and I will share those at a later time. I’ve asked for this to be for an interim title and if Matt Serra can’t fight in a year, then this would just be the title fight; but I don’t know if that is going to happen right now. I will keep you all posted.
-Matt

EDIT: This WILL BE for the interim title, so it will be a 5-round fight. -Matt

I think this fight should be better than the other 2, I could really see this going either way but I give the edge to GSP

Damn...that is ballsy of Hughes. Should be a good fight but I am leaning towards GSP too.
