If Serra is legit, let him defend his title ASAP. There are a ton of fighters out there who are deserving. He couldn't possibly need to recuperate that long from such a short fight with GSP. MMA does not need champions or title matches that are propped up media creations or fabrications of the intensity of competition. After TUF 5, it is clear to me that reality TV does not bring out the best in MMA athletes nor does it actually result in competetive "grudge matches." Please, less drama, and more of the science of fighting. I’m sure I’m just stating the obvious when I point out that 8 months without a title defense does not help the sport of MMA.

I think that the annual "New Year's" event for the UFC is usually held on the last Saturday of the year. According to my calendar, December 30 is a Sunday.
