Trained with him a decade ago for a while at Serra BJJ in Long Island. I was young and new to the sport and the place. Walked in and was shy and intimidated. Matt was behind the counter and immediately made me feel comfortable. Cracked jokes and made me feel at ease. He’s one of the nicest guys you could meet. So down to earth and humble.

@@swansmeister He served his country and got wounded in the process, and now UFC is helping to make his life more fulfilling. It's heart warming to hear stories like this. How it is not worth sharing is the real question.

@@robinlouis7180 I think military is overrated, my older Brother is still in the army, he was a Belgian paracommando but now is a medic, he will retire in 7 years. He never speaks or acts like most, he doesnt want to be treated like he is some kind of hero because he knows he aint. I'm had a brainbleed at age 11, was in a coma for 2 weeks, had to learn to walk again, at the same time I got diagnosed with spinal avm because it was coincidentaly seen on the pictures they took of my head after the brainbleed, this later put me in a wheelchair again at age 16, had to learn to walk again. 22 backsurgeries in, 23th comming on 15th februari 2024. 1.5 months after shoulder surgery, the second, this time the right side, I can go on....... There are worse thing than being a disabled vet ffs, go cry somewhere else. I never in my life looked for pity or felt the need to share all this to random people on the internet I don't know because I aint a pussy, I am hardened by life and tackle any obstacle put in front of me myself. All this and still I am ripped troughout my life, am succesfull and never cried about it or asked a pet on the shoulder. I rest my case. Grow some fucking balls.

It's funny, my thoughts on Matt. It's like those teachers back in school that you just didn't like, you didnt care to see the big picture, you just couldn't stand them, but years later, you realize that you saw it wrong, you misjudged and that dislike flipped to respect. Much respect to Matt, thank you champ.

Lol until Matt Serra I didn’t like New Yorkers but I’m always going to back someone from the US vs someone from another country. After the TUF season and the fight against GSP I was a full blown fan. Probably one of the first times I cried being happy for someone else fulfilling their dream. This year was an awesome year and I love remembering it.

About 23 years ago, my Dad, my brother and myself went to the local video store on a Friday afternoon to rent some movies for the night and that's where it all started for me. I spotted a UFC dvd and ever since then i have followed this sport, lived this sport, loved this sport. I watched one every week and eventually you all turned me into a machine.

But when Serra won I was pretty nub fan, I thought it was a fluke. Turns out he was just an elite fighter, but small for the division?! either way LEGEND! and Dana's friend/body guard?
