It&#8217;s easy to get motivated to fight somebody like Matt Serra, but Renzo, great guy.&quot;&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>A little heat should develop as the fight approaches. Serra is a Gracie disciple and Hughes ran over Renzo&#8217;s cousin Royce at UFC 63. <\/p>\n<p>Hughes told reporters he&#8217;ll start hard training this week for the April 10 fight. He&#8217;s looking forward to fighting in the UAE but admitted his wife is a little worried about his safety traveling to the Middle East.&nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC 109&#8217;s main event features two guys &#8212;&nbsp;Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman&nbsp;&#8211;who are a combined 91 years old, so it&#8217;s bit odd to hear 35-year-old Matt Hughes joke about his reasoning in accepting a fight against Renzo Gracie at UFC 112.&nbsp; &quot;Cause he&#8217;s older than I am to be honest,&quot; joked Hughes about the 43-year-old [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4012,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-266766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4012"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266766\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
