What the fighters are saying about UFC 83 (with audio)

By Carlos Arias, MMA writer for OC Register and friend of FightTicker.com

The UFC held a conference call last week to discuss “UFC 83: Serra vs. St. Pierre 2? on Saturday, April 19, at the Centre Bell in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on pay-per-view.

The main event is a rematch between Matt Serra and Georges St. Pierre for the UFC welterweight title. Serra scored a stunning first-round TKO over St. Pierre a year ago to capture the UFC 170-pound title.

Serra hasn’t fought since after a stint as a coach on “The Ultimate Fighter 6,” then a back injury that kept him sidelined for a few months. St. Pierre bounced back from the loss to score a decision over Josh Koscheck and a second-round submission in his third fight with Matt Hughes.

In one of the other featured fights, former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin takes on Travis Lutter.
