Recent win has Matt Serra “back in the mix” in UFC’s 170-pound division

When Matt Serra learned he was slated to fight fellow veteran Frank Trigg last month at UFC 109, he naturally began looking back on a career he’s proud to call his own.

The former champ called any fights after his memorable upset of then-champ Georges St-Pierre in 2007 “gravy,” and some suggested that a loss to Trigg could force the ex-champ into retirement.

But after stopping Trigg, pocketing a $60,000 “Knockout of the Night” bonus and looking back at his recent fights, Serra today told MMAjunkie.com Radio he now feels like he’s “right back in the mix” of the UFC’s welterweight division.
