St. Pierre and Serra both out for UFC 67

Georges St. Pierre, the current UFC Welterweight Champion has withdrawn from his first title defense due to a knee injury. Now, rumor has it that Matt Serra has also withdrawn himself from the 67 card, opting to hangon to his title shot until at least UFC 69. I'm dissappointed mostly because I was looking forward to seeing Serra get knocked out. Though St. Pierre vs. Serra was supposed to be the headlining bout, I'm more intrigued by the matchups on the undercard. 67 will feature two former Pride Fighters making their UFC debuts, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic. Jackson is probably on the fast track to fight Liddell for the Light Heavyweight title. Afterall, he is Chuck's only unavenged loss in his MMA career. Cro Cop is also likely to earn a title shot in the not too distant future. He's a tad small for a Heavyweight, but he is used to fighting bigger guys in his Pride career.



I'm thinking Cro Cop is about to unleash a serious hurting on UFC.
