UFC 69: Shoot-Out
Former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes
denies rumors that he pulled out of the planned rubbermatch with
Georges St. Pierre (13-1) at UFC 69 on April 7.
On April 7th Ultimate Fighting Championship 69
features Georges St. Pierre defending the UFC Welterweight Title
against The Ultimate Fighter 4 winner Matt Serra. Another TUF
champion, Diego Sanchez also matches up with Josh Koscheck.
UFC 69-Shootout will be held April 7 at Toyota
Center and feature one of mixed martial arts' most exciting
stars in the main event. Canadian Georges St. Pierre will defend
his UFC welterweight title for the first time, taking on veteran
Matt Serra.
St. Pierre, 25, who claimed the welterweight crown with a
convincing win over Matt Hughes at UFC 65 last November.
The two 170-pounders were originally scheduled to face off at
UFC 67 on Saturday night, but an injury forced the champ out of
the fight. St. Pierre sprained two ligaments in his knee during
a wrestling drill in late December.
Serra, 32, who fights out of Long Island, N.Y., earned a title
shot by winning the welterweight division of last year's
comeback-themed edition of The Ultimate Fighter reality show. |

The Lone Star State will be
represented on the card, with Clear Lake native Mike Swick
taking on Yushin Okami in a middleweight bout. Swick has been
rehabbing a hand injury and hasn't fought since beating David
Loiseau at UFC 63 in September.
The New comer, Mike Swick had
dreams of fighting in his hometown of Houston in front of
thousands of fans at the Astrodome. Now instead of the Dome, it
will be the Toyota Center and that dream becomes reality at this
UFC 69, when the Clear Lake native returns to Houston to fight
on the under card of UFC 69. |

"Nations Collide" (the event will air free on SpikeTV).
