The American Pimp from New York, will BITCH SLAP his Canadian Hoe from Quebec!!!
Kick his ass again Serra!!! and then say in a frenchy accent
“I’m not impressed by your performance”

Serra is going to get imbarrassed by GSP.

Lucky shot last time… this time GSP is going to own his ass.

I really hope to see him win again. Then we can have the GSP vs Silva dream matchup.

This fight will be no cakewalk for GSP. I think he will win it, but it should be a tough fight.

Say what you like about Serra, but he has a great no nonsense style and a great attitude.

Serra in a fight that was said " don’t bother showing up " Serra your fighting GSP..he is GSP..I ran into Serra at the Ring of Combat on March 16, 2007 and I wished him luck and he said to me

" I’m going to bring to him "

I believe then and still do now that Serra maybe GSP’s Krpytonite..I didn’t think it part 1 would of went down with a brutal assualt GSP was under. What I find strange is most people felt then and feel now..Serra is going to get killed yada yada..a fight is a fight..and Serra hate him or like shows up to fight.

If GSP s looking passed Serra..at other weight divisions and what not. He will not be that guy. a la Anderson Silva..I like GSP I just like Serra’s chances even though this time no surprise and home tuff advantege to the Canadian. Lert’s see what goes down.. my bet is Serra does it again. Serra knows how to beat GSP..he did it already..Does GSP knw how to beat Serra?? That has yet to happen. He will get a second chance at UFC 84.

Say what you like about Serra, but he has a great no nonsense style and a great attitude.

Serra is in for a rude awakening… Man this guy has a BIG MOUTH.

He lost to;

Karo Parisyan

Din Thomas

BJ Penn

Shonie Carter (hahahaha)

He beat GSP that’s all he has in his resume. He’ll be yesterday’s news after April 19th

those are some good fighters that he lost to no shame there and he gave them all a great fight.

This fighter will be more competitive than many of you may think. I expect GSP to win the match, but it will be more competitive than GSP vs. Hughes 3 was, thats for sure!

Serra is a bad matchup for St Pierre. I see another upset. Maybe by submission.

Serra is going to get imbarrassed by GSP.

Lucky shot last time… this time GSP is going to own his ass.

it was not a one punch knock out so was it a lucky several punches or maybe a lucky tap out.i don’t think serra will win but i did not think that last time but he is a pretty tough fighter.

Im Just kidding StPierre will destroy him.haha

serra and gamburyan should start UFCM, Ultimate Championship Fighting for Midgets.

Serra is going to have a hard time winning this one without Joe Scarola in his corner.

I really think Serra has a chance in this fight. I think it more likely that GSP will win, but I do think Serra can pull it off.

The American Pimp from New York, will BITCH SLAP his Canadian Hoe from Quebec!!!

This gave me a good laugh. Thanks.

Remember what GSP did to Hughes the second time around? You can’t beat this guy twice. NO WAY!

If not for TUF, we wouldn’t even be talking about serra in the same sentence as the words “title fight” because like others have said, who has he really beat?

If not for TUF, we wouldn’t even be talking about serra in the same sentence as the words “title fight” because like others have said, who has he really beat?

GSP. The legend.

If it was n’t for TUF?? He was given an opportunity as well as bunch of other fighters..he made the best of it. Why did GSP let Serra get so " lucky "..in a fight he should not of even broken a sweat in??

Why did GSP tap??

The arugement of why he is in the driver’s seat of the ww’s..he took his destiny in his own hands..I would even care if GSP beats Serra in their rematch. they would be tied 1 and 1..but watch out now..if Serra beats GSP again.. Serra is up 2-0.

The days of Matt “the Terror” Serra as the UFC WW chamption will soon come to an end!!!! And I get to whitness it with my own eyes!!

WAR RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!

it was not a one punch knock out so was it a lucky several punches or maybe a lucky tap out.i don’t think serra will win but i did not think that last time but he is a pretty tough fighter.

anyway, i hope gsp kicks his ass all the way off the top 10 list

I think Matt Serra has a big mouth plan and simple. And that big mouth of his just got him in a world of trouble. The first fight both fighters were very respectful with one another. There was nothing really fueling this fight for GSP…and you could see it. NOT THAT I AM SAYING THAT IS ANY EXCUSE FOR GSP LOSING!!

This time…pre-fight…Serra has opened his mouth nice and wide on more than one occassion…giving GSP more than enough reason to close his mouth. People should realize by now that you have a better chance being all buddy/buddy with GSP than making an enemy before the fight.

And that my friends is why Silva 9 times out of 10 will beat GSP if that fight ever happens. Because Silva like GSP usually keeps his mouth shut about his opponents and lets his actions in the ring do the talking.

GSP win TKO/Submission Round 2.

Just watched the first fight again. GSP ate some solid shots to the face durring that fight that didn’t seem to hurt him, untill he got rocked. But I’m pretty sure the shot that did rock him looped around and hit the back of his head while GSP was ducking. Not to take anything away from Serra, just saying lol.

Why are u laughing that he lost to shonie carter ? Mr. International was pretty good in his day. PLus if u watched that match u wouldve known that serra owned that fight, before the spinning back fist came. He also did real well against the other fighters you mentioned.

Also he won the TUF show, he got his shot and took advantage of it. This is truely a “Rocky” kind of theme goin here.

Sometimes fighters have problems wit certain fighting styles. Gsp prob. doesnt feel right when fighting serra, just a little uncomfortablness and something just feels a little off when hes fighting serra.. then BAM ktfo AGAIN !!!

If not for TUF, we wouldn’t even be talking about serra in the same sentence as the words “title fight” because like others have said, who has he really beat?

TUF is a tournament. He had to beat three guys on the show, and THEN fight GSP (considered the future of the sport) to win the belt. Nobody gave him anything. He earned a title shot, and beat the best guy in the division (and arguably the best in the world) for the belt.

You can’t call that luck. It’s not even a technically sound argument, as Serra isn’t a wild striker. He’s technically sound, and trained by a great striking trainer. Watch the fight, there was no lucky shot; just a lot of well executed combinations that put GSP on the floor.

For the record, I am prediciting GSP to win, but I won’t be that shocked if Serra takes it again. And whether or not he does, you have to give him his credit. He earned that belt, like him or not.

Props to Serra.

If you don’t believe in yourself, there is no point stepping into the octagon.

That being said, he’ll get owned big time. GSP is hell bent on rectifying a previous embarrassment.

I think Matt Serra has a big mouth plan and simple. And that big mouth of his just got him in a world of trouble. The first fight both fighters were very respectful with one another.

GSP win TKO/Submission Round 2.

Keep in mind, the only reason Serra started saying anything about GSP was because GSP starting making sorry excuses about the fight later on. Do your research, GSP admitted he didn’t train hard enough for the fight and wasn’t mentally there, which are sorry excuses. When nobody gives you credit for winning, even the guy you beat, you’re bound to have something to say about it.

TUF is a tournament. He had to beat three guys on the show, and THEN fight GSP (considered the future of the sport) to win the belt. Nobody gave him anything. He earned a title shot, and beat the best guy in the division (and arguably the best in the world) for the belt.

I know Serra is no push over, however I can’t stand that mouth of his. Did you see the interview with him and GSP on TSN’S off the record? Serra acts like his the greatest ever. GSP is all class like A. Silva.

I disagree with the notion that there are no “lucky punches”.
I mean, yes, obviously fighters punch with the intention to hit the opponent, but, heck, let me put it this way.

I’m sure if I threw 890311389018309183 punches at Fedor, at least one will get through and knock him the hell out.

I don’t even care how good a fighter he is.

Yes, it was a good punch by Serra, but.
I guess what I’m saying is that he’s lucky GSP didn’t block it? 0_o.

Here’s a nice clip of Serra taking Gomi’s lunch money in a grappling match.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4860108086051561863&q=matt serra&total=309&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=2

I guess the link is too long, so copy and paste

Just watched the first fight again. GSP ate some solid shots to the face durring that fight that didn’t seem to hurt him, untill he got rocked. But I’m pretty sure the shot that did rock him looped around and hit the back of his head while GSP was ducking. Not to take anything away from Serra, just saying lol.

I’ve said that from the beginning. I watched this fight over and over because I had to figure out how Serra could have possible hurt GSP with punches. Who has Serra KO’d??? It was that shot to the back of the neck that hurt GSP and then he couldn’t defend himself. I’m sure Serra didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t think that will happen again though. Serra is in big trouble this time. I tried and I can’t figure out anyway Serra will pull this off short of a accidental illegal punch.

LOL people are giving serra WAY too much credit based on that last fight, try watching his last “5” fights. The Gsp who fought hughes would completely destroy serra and he wouldn’t make it out of the first round. News flash, serra is the one coming off a injuring this time and Gsp is better than ever, has the advantage in that he already fought serra once and will know what to expect. I expect the pace of this fight to be fast and furious with serra coming in over confident and gsp coming in with a major point to prove. Serra hits the canvas from a leg kick, gsp goes for the rear naked and gets it, serra screams of over confidence to me and with gsp that is a fatal mistake, he’s going to lose and in humiliating fashion, you wait.

After this fight, Matt Serra will be spelled “BIATCH!”

By the way in 17 fights the only time gsp was rocked was the forearm to the back of the head by serra, hitting the back of the head, “unintentional” of course. Gsp has a good chin, serra just him him perfectly, a hit I’ve never seen before in the octagon, and I’ve seen a lot of fights. I’ve never seen a fighter lose his equilibrium like gsp did, serra did a good job on finishing gsp but come one what are the odds of something like that happening again, I’m a gambler and I wouldn’t bet on it, its throwing your money away.

GSP is the classiest fighter out there but a part of me kind of hopes he stands over Serra for a few seconds after he knocks him out and then does a one handed cartwheel.

The only thing I like about Serra is his imitation of Hughes on the TUF series. That is only because I don’t like Hughes either. They are both arrogant asses, or “dicks” as Serra would say. Hope when they fight they just beat the crap out of each other with Hughes pulling out the split decision, only because he is a decorated veteran and Serra is a one punch wonder.

Gsp will be a angry monster for this fight and serra will be maybe 70% at best, no way he can train full tilt while recovering from an injury like that. The guys for the betting odds are nuts, the first fight should have been -500 in favor of gsp considering his lack of training and coming off an injury and for this fight it should be -1000 to -1200 in my opinion, gsp has a much better chance this time.

I think this fight will def. be more competive than Hughes/GSP III but if GSP fights the same style as he has been lately (wrestle and GNP) then I predict a third round TKO by GSP. Go GSP, then take out Fitch, and then lets see Silva vs GSP in a super fight with a catch weight of about 180 lbs.

Serra’s 15 minutes of fame are coming to an end. Serra is a good fighter but GSP is really set on getting that title back and beating Serra. He lost, granted, but I think that lose taught him more than beating Serra the first time would have. Props to Serra for coming out strong in that fight and taking it to him. I think Serra’s big advantage is that he’s not afraid of GSP…he wasn’t the first time and certainly not this time around.

The problem is that GSP’s skills are faw and away better than Serra’s. GSP is going to come into this fight with a great game plan made up by Grag Jackson and I think it will be very technical and he’s really going to use his reach to get in a few nice shots, then move to a different angle and do the same until a takedown presents itself. If Serra gets dazed even for a second, watch GSP pounce on him and beat the crap right out of him.

Serra is good but GSP is just flat out better and he’s still evolving as a fighter. The best GSP is yet to come and I’m glad I’ll be there first hand to see the downward spiral of Serra. I hope Hughes beats Serra after this too cause Serra really does have a big mouth and is a little full of himself since he got that belt.

Serra is in for a rude awakening… Man this guy has a BIG MOUTH.

He lost to;

Karo Parisyan

Din Thomas

BJ Penn

Shonie Carter (hahahaha)

He beat GSP that’s all he has in his resume. He’ll be yesterday’s news after April 19th

WAR SERRA! people will understand why he was chosen as coach after he won TUF… Serra is the real deal..

This fighter will be more competitive than many of you may think. I expect GSP to win the match, but it will be more competitive than GSP vs. Hughes 3 was, thats for sure!

Too right!! Hughes was so bad in that fight, wasn’t even real Hughes to me, and I hate the guy, but he is better than what he showed against GSP. He just didn’t look like he was in it mentally. Serra WILL be in it mentally, that is for sure, that guy has a true “fighters” spirit, and he has too much pride to pussy out in any way.

I think GSP will win, t.k.o round 3

But I’m rooting for Serra because he deserves some credit for all he has done inside and outside the Octagon.

This fighter will be more competitive than many of you may think. I expect GSP to win the match, but it will be more competitive than GSP vs. Hughes 3 was, thats for sure!

I agree. It’s no secret that GSP has shown some mental weakness in the past. It wasn’t one devastating knockout punch that ended the fight. It was a punch that stunned him, then another one that stunned him, then ground and pound that ended it. GSP had oppurtunity to throw back after the first big shot landed or dance around to regain some composure. I don’t by any means think Serra will dominate GSP as he did in the first fight, but I would have to think the devastating loss is still lingering in GSP’s head. Still GSP should when this. I hope to see some ground action in this fight. Serra’s bjj and GSP’s always improving ground game would be interesting to watch.

After this fight, Matt Serra will be spelled “BIATCH!”

Dude..for the last time…I AM ToeLock!!! Find your own name please, I don’t want people thinking your comments are mine! Not that any of mine actually make any sense

I just saw that video the other day and it was the first time i realized GSP actually tapped due to strikes. i thought it was just ref stoppage. interesting detail.

i like serra but i really hope he’s not the guy that has GSP’s number. i think serra as champ would be short lived.

Serra in a fight that was said " don’t bother showing up " Serra your fighting GSP..he is GSP..I ran into Serra at the Ring of Combat on March 16, 2007 and I wished him luck and he said to me

" I’m going to bring to him "

I believe then and still do now that Serra maybe GSP’s Krpytonite..I didn’t think it part 1 would of went down with a brutal assualt GSP was under. What I find strange is most people felt then and feel now..Serra is going to get killed yada yada..a fight is a fight..and Serra hate him or like shows up to fight.

If GSP s looking passed Serra..at other weight divisions and what not. He will not be that guy. a la Anderson Silva..I like GSP I just like Serra’s chances even though this time no surprise and home tuff advantege to the Canadian. Lert’s see what goes down.. my bet is Serra does it again. Serra knows how to beat GSP..he did it already..Does GSP knw how to beat Serra?? That has yet to happen. He will get a second chance at UFC 84.

Wake the fuck up dude. Serra is gonna get pancaked and then he is gonna lose to Hughes. Wait and see.

i like matt serra alot, however i think it’s funny how he tries to act like being an underdog and not getting his due rolls of his back like water on a duck. it clearly bothers him that people don’t put him in the same class as st. pierre otherwise he wouldn’t feel the need to repeatedly make snide little sideswipes at georges.

serra is a good fighter, nobody should ever think otherwise. he’s fought top quality opponents and hung in there. the problem now is he obviously fought a mentally fucked up st. pierre who didn’t do his homework, didn’t properly prepare, and he paid for it dearly.

this time around i’m surprised how many people are doubting st. pierre. this is a guy who performs amazingly under pressure and when he puts his mind to something, he usually comes out and destroys people.

sure serra can win again, i just think the likelyhood is so minute considering st. pierre’s new found understanding of how he needs to prepare himself and his mind. i see st. pierre coming out, exchanging for a bit, then midway through the first round, taking serra down and top controlling him with gnp and even the possibility of subbing serra. i know it sounds fantastic…how would he ever sub a gracie trained bb bjj guy? put it this way, st. pierre has a habit of making good fighters look extremely weak at the strongest part of their games. his wrestling will prove to much for serra who’s never had a guy like st. pierre on top of him working him. i doubt there will be much stand up or clinch work with a guy so short who will have obvious dirty boxing advantage in the clinch. i really wonder what serra’s game is going to be? you have to think, most of his prep is going to be defensive prep, which is probably smart. can’t wait.

Before anyone can start saying that Serra has GSP’s number, they need to wait and see what happens in this 2nd fight. If he loses, then yea, but only when that happens. Did Matt Hughes have GSP’s number when he beat him the first fight? Hell no, and Hughes got destroyed the next 2 fights. Serra will definitely be a tougher fight than Hughes though.

Im not gonna say that Serra got lucky in his last fight like alot of people are saying. He was the better fighter that night and deserved the win. He took it to GSP, plain and simple.

But this time around GSP will be reday, focused and determined to avenge that loss. I excpect the best GSP we’ve seen to date and I cant see Serra lasting in this one. GSP will dominate Serra, guranteed

those are some good fighters that he lost to no shame there and he gave them all a great fight.

Why are u laughing that he lost to shonie carter ? Mr. International was pretty good in his day. PLus if u watched that match u wouldve known that serra owned that fight, before the spinning back fist came. He also did real well against the other fighters you mentioned.

 BAM ktfo AGAIN nice!

why are people on here trying to bring up serra’s last 5 match ups like they are something to go by? The whole point in the tuf show was so that guys who hadnt had much luck could have a chance to re-develop themselves as fighters – he has worked on his stand up so much that he is now as dangerous as stand up fighters come – forget about these gsp lovers sayin lucky this n that – matt hughes even knows that Serra has a huge! right hand. Im betting on Serra again.

If you bet on Serra last time, you should go 2 for 2 and bet on GSP this time ;)

If you bet on Serra last time, you should go 2 for 2 and bet on GSP this time ;)

i dunno bout that, i should really, but i know serra will put another beatdown on gsp

I would love to see Serra win..just to see Dana’s face. The MMA Golden Boy whom he wants to ride all the way to the bank..can’t beat this lil’ Itailian guy. I would find that funny.

Winner of Serra – St. Pierre (St. Pierre) should fight Anderson Silva. That’s the way it’s gotta be

but the point is….he lost TOO ALL THEM FIGHTERS!!!!!!!

the point is he does not suck and is a good fighter who beat gsp, the point is than that gsp lost.

Anderson Silva vs. Georges St. Pierre at a catchweight fight to see who is the best pound for pound fighter in the world!

Winner of Serra – St. Pierre (St. Pierre) should fight Anderson Silva. That’s the way it’s gotta be

The winner fights the 1 number contender IMO : Jon Fitch. The WW Champ should and will have numerious title defenses in his division. He has to show complete dominance..before talking about moving around in weight and challenging other Champs.

After serra gets his head kicked off his shoulders by GSP he should move back down to lightweight and get strangled by bj penn. I dont think he won by luck last april he won fair and square but I think this fight will go down much differently.

Serra should have his head examined…I really wouldn’t want to keep giving GSP more and more reason to kill me…GSP is going to absolutely send Serra back to wear he belongs…the bottom of the weight class…I would say he should be fighting in the IFL but it will even be hard to do that when GSP breaks apart his ugly mug..Serra is just going to be another victim of the best P4P fighter in the UFC

After serra gets his head kicked off his shoulders by GSP he should move back down to lightweight and get strangled by bj penn. I dont think he won by luck last april he won fair and square but I think this fight will go down much differently.

Strangled by BJ Penn? No disrespect to the LW Champ the Prodigy..but did you see there fight at the Mohegan Sun It was as close to going to draw as I’ve ever seen. Should been one more round..BJ won it by a tight split decision. Serra can hang with BJ Penn.

I don’t think some people know this, but “Rocky” is fiction. Here’s some reality for you though: Buster Douglas.

I don’t think some people know this, but “Rocky” is fiction. Here’s some reality for you though: Buster Douglas.

Very True..but this story has a likeness to Rocky..cuz GSP could play Ivan Drago..and Serra can play Rock..GSP doesn’t look like Tyson and Serra does not look like Buster.

Strangled by BJ Penn? No disrespect to the LW Champ the Prodigy..but did you see there fight at the Mohegan Sun It was as close to going to draw as I’ve ever seen. Should been one more round..BJ won it by a tight split decision. Serra can hang with BJ Penn.

PhilQNY: No Worries buddy, Dana already awarded the next title shot to Fitch. I think a thread about this was made during that week when you were absent from this site!

Don’t remind me. Thanks Bud.

Serra vs penn was many years ago serra would get smashed.

Same as if Serra would ever fight GSP would get smashed too right??

Same as if Serra would ever fight GSP would get smashed too right??

I find it kind of funny how some people like to throw Matt Serra rez in the air..and say he lost to him and him and sucks..what not..but when you brake down how those fights went..if it was close TKO/submitted/ ( which Serra has only been stopped once in his career " Shonie " ) or a split decision that could of went either way..it get’s turned around like " but those fights were a long time ago "..I don’t get it. I don’t care if Serra loses to GSP at UFC 84..he is tuff noise..BJJ Master..with heart..look at Randy he has how many L’s??? Still a UFC Legend.

Matt Serra has GSP’s number?? LOL….ok??? I’m sure some people would have thought that Hughes had his number after GSP/Hughes 1. Clearly not the case. 04/19/09…Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open.

the last time i saw GSP pis off, he BEAT the shit out of Matt Hughes i cant imagine what his going to do to MATT SERRA

GSP ARM BAR 2 ROUND

The GSP nuthuggers just make me want to see Serra, who I don’t even like, win again. The excuse making would be off the charts here and on Sherdog.

I like Serra, I really do but GSP keeps on improving and Serra will not surprise GSP this time around.

the last time i saw GSP pis off, he BEAT the shit out of Matt Hughes i cant imagine what his going to do to MATT SERRA

GSP ARM BAR 2 ROUND

If GSP wins. it would be by TKO/GnP he will not..I repeat. he will not armbar/choke/traingle/nada of that nature..Serra is a World Class BJJ fighter..how many times has Serra been submitted in his career : O

Knowing Georges’s mental state this time around….Serra has a snowballs chance in hell of pulling this one out of his ass.

Early odds for this fight are:

GSP (favorite): minus 450
Serra (underdog): plus 300

It’s hard not to feel sorry for Serra in a way. He had the fight of his life and instead of it being viewed as the culmination of his years of preparation as a fighter; his skills or anything else- a lot of people view it as an anomaly. Serra didn’t get the automatic respect afforded to most champions. It clearly bothers him- despite the fact that he claims it doesn’t time and time again.

I feel sorry for the guy- and I know that he’s a really good fighter- and a very skilled BJJ guy. But he talks so damn much it’s hard to be sympathetic about the lack of respect he gets. He talked so much trash to Matt Hughes (whom I dislike) that I actually began to view Hughes in a more positive way.

He’s hyping the fight- but he’s a fool if he honestly believes that GSP looking past him and Serra’s punch to the back of the head had nothing to do with his victory. Serra, props to him did jump on GSP as soon as he was wobbled and left him with no way out.

But enough. GSP will win this fight but it will be a very close fight. I don’t think Serra will have a chance to add to his record one fight TKO record. He might submit GSP but it’s been a damn long time since he’s done that either. GSP will keep this one standing or look for a submission since Serra is going to be spending all his time practicing submissions off his back.

I’d love to see a Silva style Muay Thai clinch on Serra.

every time serra opens that fat ny mouth of his i chuckle. i can’t wait to see him get shut up for good and sent back home crying. he’s nothing but a pretender to the throne, like prince john. i’d say he makes new yorkers look bad, but that isn’t really possible.

Phil Q,
Serra knows how to beat GSP? I suppose he does…..

Make sure GSP looks past him
Make sure GSP has tons of turmoil in his life (family stuff etc)
Make sure that you hit him in the back of the head (wreck the equilibrium a little bit)
Pounce on his ass
Don’t look back

GSP doesn’t know how to beat Serra?
Hmm…Maybe he should talk to one of the many other fighters who’ve beaten Serra. Or train with Shonie Carter in the mysteries of the spinning backfist.

Or….Show up for the fight? Attack the man with the little stubby legs and take the fight to him this time?

Or pull a Koscheck and lay on top of Serra for 5 rounds?

Winning one fight does not give you some magical key to defeating an opponent in subsequent fights. Ask Hughes what happened the next two times he fought GSP. He’ll tell you all about it.

I agree with most of what you say- you definitely know what you’re talking about with regards to MMA. But on this one we always will disagree. But I understand what you’re saying. I still think Serra is a dangerous fighter but I’m not ready to say that he’s a great fighter until he beats good competition again. One fight is not good enough to garner the type of respect Serra wants.

Serra is a bad matchup for St Pierre. I see another upset. Maybe by submission.

I really dont see the submission happen at all..i can see the ko or tko but no submission…the reason for this logic is a book that Cesar Gracie or Relion Gracie wrote…but in one part of the book Gracie wrote “that one true weakness of BJJ practioner is a very good wrestler” He realized this when many of his students were decimated by some high caliber wrestler because of the fact that most bjj wait for their opponent to make a mistake…they dont create the mistake themselves. when you have a guy on top of you that doesn not sit still for one moment will keep extremely busy all the time…much like that amazing ground battle between griffin and tavares!…tavares founnd some openings but griffins strenght and sheer overwhelming wrestling skills kept him out of trouble.

Phil Q,
Serra knows how to beat GSP? I suppose he does…..

Make sure GSP looks past him
Make sure GSP has tons of turmoil in his life (family stuff etc)
Make sure that you hit him in the back of the head (wreck the equilibrium a little bit)
Pounce on his ass
Don’t look back

GSP doesn’t know how to beat Serra?
Hmm…Maybe he should talk to one of the many other fighters who’ve beaten Serra. Or train with Shonie Carter in the mysteries of the spinning backfist.

Or….Show up for the fight? Attack the man with the little stubby legs and take the fight to him this time?

Or pull a Koscheck and lay on top of Serra for 5 rounds?

Winning one fight does not give you some magical key to defeating an opponent in subsequent fights. Ask Hughes what happened the next two times he fought GSP. He’ll tell you all about it.

I agree with most of what you say- you definitely know what you’re talking about with regards to MMA. But on this one we always will disagree. But I understand what you’re saying. I still think Serra is a dangerous fighter but I’m not ready to say that he’s a great fighter until he beats good competition again. One fight is not good enough to garner the type of respect Serra wants.

Captain Ahab: I respect what you say. I think Serra is a very good fighter with great BJJ as his base. I’m bias in most of my comments cuz he ws my first BJJ teacher..and a bit ticked off at some comments made about how lucky Serra and as you say the respect he has not earned..even though he worked hard for it. His mouth on the TUF was a bit overboard..totally. I love MMA man.. I love the storylines behind these fighters..I 7/10 times root for the guy that is not suppose to win…but I always root for Anderson Silva.

This is what makes our sport so crazy..1 year or so ago GSP was the next Don of MMA..Anderson Silva showed promise..CroCop was going to cause problems amongst the HH’s..Randy was loved by the UFC..Serra had no chance of being a player in the UFC..now look. I love it..next year a fighter we don’t know about will be fighting for a UFC belt.

those are some good fighters that he lost to no shame there and he gave them all a great fight.

I totally agree Roy…this guy just rattled off a list of some of the most elite fighters in that weight class and this guy is talking crap? I think there might be something in your water up there in BFE…we all know that nothing good has ever came from Canada. They are just riding our American jock straps. If all of you canadians are so anti-america then get out of the UFC and go start your own MMA org. I love how they all have something to say about the US but there is nothing going on in CANADA except hockey and snow…both are things that we hate here in the states. Lets be serious…your boy GSP has a weak heart and a weak chin.(lol…“Who goes to see a sport shrink”) ex…of a weak heart and mental strength. Serra is the exact opposite he has stone hands and is very confident.
I also dont think his win over an aging Hughes was all that impressive.
Dont get me wrong GSP is a good fighter but he is not the next Anderson Silva…Anderson Silva blows throught his comp. but GSP struggles with the mental end of fighting.
PS I fight MMA so I know just how much heart and mental strength you need to fight and I just dont think GSP has it. He might win his next fight but he wont beat Anderson Silva…EVER!

WOW….you pulled the words right out of my head. I’m glad you did, because I doubt I’d have been able to put it into words as well as you did. Well stated….

Look what happened to GSP when he faught Hughes the first time…he was scared to fight someone that he watched growing up! lol what is that about! This guy is never going to be the best pound for pound…not with Anderson Silva, Fedor and BJ out there still fighting…and yes I know about the first BJ Penn and GSP fight but dont go running your mouths about that yet because I have already read all of the pro-canada remarks about GSP getting better with every fight. Well so has BJ and you all know damn well that if BJ and GSP faught again and BJ shows up with his new cardio….ITS OVER!

US OVER CANADA…any day! Name the top three Candian fighters and the only one who has ever done a think is GSP…now name the top three US fighters….sorry fella’s go back to hockey..at least your good at that since no on else except Russia gives two shits about that sport. Havent you ever sat down and tried to think of things that Canada is good at…I bet its a short list.

Randy
Chuck
Rampage
BJ
Forrest
Tim S.
Tito
Kos
Finch
Sherk
Matt H.

Why are you cutting up Canada? You come from a country that gave George W. 8 years…. Yeah, very smart.

Go look for weapons of mass destruction.

GSP RULES!!!! CANADA EHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Jon Fitch does not deserve a fight with GSP. On top of that, GSP is the best person to challenge Anderson Silva. After GSP beats Serra, he will have proven that he is the best welterweight, he won’t gain more respect by beating Fitch, and I GUARANTEE he would. Serra is a great fighter, Fitch is a good fighter, Anderson Silva is a great fighter, and GSP is the man who could easily beat all three at this point in his career. If Dana wants to keep calling Anderson Silva the best pound for pound fighter, he should see if that’s true for himself by putting him against GSP in a fight constructed with the sole purpose of finding out who is the best pound for pound fighter in the world.

I’m not a huge fan of GSP, but he IS the best pound for pound fighter in the world right now.

Matt Serra, I will gladly keep doubting you.

those sound like weak excuses,he isn’t mentally ready is not as bad as he had a torn acl or something,if thats why he lost you should not even bring it up cause it makes him sound weak and the hit was behind the ear on the side of the head.

I actually think Serra will be more of a challenge for GSP than Fitch or Anderson Silva would be, but I’m still sure that GSP will win.

Serra is going to have a hard time winning this one without Joe Scarola in his corner.

that’svone of the funniest things i ever heard on this site! :))

Americana, you are an idiot. i don’t know where you live, but in the midwest, Hockey is more popular than football.

Phil,
Totally agree. I’ll never rip Serra for anything but his mouth. He’s got great BJJ, great heart, and he’s a great competitor. I don’t like the trash talk at times but I definitely respect his game.

Good as always to hear what you think. Hope we see a great fight in April!

I can’t believe you guys, gsp is so going to walk through serra, I have no idea what your going by as to how he’s going to be such stiff competition for gsp, I don’t get it. He looks good in one fight, gsp has looked good in most of his fights, Phil Q your extremely biased towards serra as he was your teacher, you obviously see things I don’t, why don’t you enlighten me, because I’m obviously missing something. Serra being gsp’s kriptonite is halarious to me, and it will be abundantly clear april 19th as to what I’m talking about.

Oh and by the way right NOW gsp would completely destroy bj penn and be the first fighter to finish him with no controversy.

Americana,
Your list of things Canada is good at:

-burning down large White Houses in Washington
-forcing a draw in the only war with the US
-taking in your draft dodgers from Vietnam
-gifting you James Naismith (the inventor of basketball)
-being the second largest supplier of oil to your country
-spelling (‘faught" are you for real?)
-hockey fighting
-making beer that doesn’t taste like water
-making whores for your disposal (Pamela Anderson)
-giving you comedians to make you laugh
-inventing insulin
-taking in your escaped slaves on the Underground Railroad

You know….
Stuff like that.

With a population that’s about one-tenth of America’s.

So proportionately speaking- even if we do have only GSP. That ain’t so bad. You can’t really claim BJ (Hawaii is as American as Puerto Rico) but if you do- you have to claim responsibility for Sam Hoger as well (The Alaskan Assassin) and I would assume that a sense of shame would prevent you from ever doing that. Just as I would claim that Celine Dion is from France.

You’re like those who pick on French people all the time, forgetting the fact that without the French there would be no USA.

Serra is in for a rude awakening… Man this guy has a BIG MOUTH.

He lost to;

Karo Parisyan

Din Thomas

BJ Penn

Shonie Carter (hahahaha)

He beat GSP that’s all he has in his resume. He’ll be yesterday’s news after April 19th

1. because who has GSP beat besides Matt Hughes? oh thats right a smaller sean sherk and Frank Trigg. yeeeeeah, now i get it.whatever!
2. because he already beat…no no no excuse me demolished Gsp last time.
   Not saying GSP sucks…just over-rated. And another thing, i really get a kick outta Gsp even thinking he is going to move up in weight. then we’ll get to see Anderson Silva dismantel him as well. Serra makes a good point. Why is the talk about Gsp when he did nothing as champ but lose the belt first title defense. Im not even a big Serra fan, i like him but if loses it not gonna ruin my day. I really believe Serra is highly over looked and has a lot of heart. we’ll see in a few more weeks though. WAR SERRA WAR

Every one can get lucky.And we all know chtis Litle won the fight with serra.NUFFFFF SIIAAAAD!

This is an awsome fight and can’t wait, but it’s riding the whole event on it’s back, is there any other good fights on this event anybody is looking forward to? I havnt heard ANYTHING talked about except for this.

Come on guy… Have respect. Look what he did to Kos at his own game. He beat a world-class wrestler by wrestling him.

Ask Dana how important GSP is to the UFC… I’d say # 3

1. Chuck

2. A. Silva

3. GSP

You guys are giving Serra way too much credit…. Has he defended his title?

Oh and by the way right NOW gsp would completely destroy bj penn and be the first fighter to finish him with no controversy.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Don’t get ahead of yourself, well see what you have to say when Serra(a much lesser version of BJ Penn) gives GSP the fight of his life.

Can anyone confirm if GSP actually TAPPED? I’m just curious. Because I could have sworn that the fight was stopped by the ref. I know it’s sort of the same thing, and there’s nothing wrong with tapping… but I don’t think GSP really TAPPED. Am I being anal retentive about this? Maybe. But I’m just curious, because I do not recall Georges physically tapping. Can anyone confirm?

Why are you cutting up Canada? You come from a country that gave George W. 8 years…. Yeah, very smart.

Go look for weapons of mass destruction.

GSP RULES!!!! CANADA EHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

GSP weak heart? weak chin?… hmmm. who got knocked out by a spinning back fist in the last round of a fight? and also lost by 4 unanimous decisions?…. I’d better write it, because you’re in obvious denial.. Matt “The Terrier” Serra.

I like Serra, I really do… but he walked away from MMA and pretty much quit and the UFC show resurected him… ‘Is he mentally tough’?… sure he is. Is GSP less mentally tough?

This isn’t the stone ages… he sees a sports shrink, then whups Ko’s & Hughes at their own game…. fuckin’ wise move seeing that shrink.

And yeah, I don’t think he’ll beat Silva either, GSP is a 170lb fighter. I do think GSP will give Silva a better fight than anyone else has to date though.

GSP

yes he rolled to the side and tapped about 4 times…

think St Pierre will take Serra down this time cos serra seemed to be hard to handle standing last time.

this time St Pierre will try to do what he did to Sherk….

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Don’t get ahead of yourself, well see what you have to say when Serra(a much lesser version of BJ Penn) gives GSP the fight of his life.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Don’t get ahead of yourself, well see what you have to say when Serra(a much lesser version of BJ Penn) gives GSP the fight of his life.

Serra has every right to be pissed. He allready domminated GSP and everyone is still doubting he can do it agian. That being said I think GSP can and will in all likelyhood win this fight. “In all likelyhood” being the key phrase. With those 4 oz gloves if one punch connects it’s lights out, anything can happen.

thats not how you spell likelihood x2 buddy

GSP will dominate Serra without a bit of trouble? Fight of his life? If Matt Hughes couldn’t stop him I doubt that loser Serra will even last a second…and as far as BJ goes…GSP would wipe up the mat with that fat loser…the only way BJ could beat BJ was if you offered BJ a lifetime supply of double quarter pounders from McDonalds…Serra has a better chance of beating GSP then BJ….I think BJ wouldn’t even step to GSP right now because BJ knows that he would end up a fat greasy spot on the octagon mat!

F**ckin midget… worst, f**ckin midget with a big mouth

US OVER CANADA…any day! Name the top three Candian fighters and the only one who has ever done a think is GSP…now name the top three US fighters….sorry fella’s go back to hockey..at least your good at that since no on else except Russia gives two shits about that sport.

Last time I checked, the UFC wasn’t country vs country.

Last time I checked, the UFC wasn’t country vs country.

this time St Pierre will try to do what he did to Sherk….

That’s almost exactly how I see this fight going down. I don’t think GSP will take any chances with stand-up. He’s gonna keep taking Serra down. Yes, Serra is excellent at BJJ, but he hasn’t really finished fights from the bottom.

And to those making this a Canada vs. USA thing, that’s just ignorant. When you bring race and culture into the discussion, you’re no longer intelligently conversing about fighting. Do you think that a fighter is magically more or less of a fighter just because of what side of the border (or wherever) they’re born in?

Hate. Hate. Hate. Sometimes that’s all people wanna do. I’m a huge fan of GSP, he is by far a future fighter in present day competition.

Serra is the little engine that could….and did, with conviction. He represents for the little guy (no pun intended).

How can you hate on that?

Serra is my favorite fighter right now. I like GSP, he’s a classy guy and the future of the sprt. But Serra is that gritty no nonsense type of guy who made the most of his opportunity. Everybody say’s he has a big mouth, but he’s just telling it like it is. He’s the real life Rocky of the UFC

True that. Matt Serra, win, lose or draw will go down in history as the fighter who showed every one what “belief in yourself” truely is. There for a true and important champion. Humble. A team player. A leader. A teacher. An oppurtunist. And what many of you refer to as “a big mouth”, the rest of the world refers to as “brutally honest”.

Give it up for Matt “The Terror” Serra!

What’s with these people saying BJ beat St. Pierre, and that he’d beat him now? Why the hell is he in the lightweight division if he’s ready to dominate at welterweight? Oh yeah, that’s right, Matt Hughes and GSP sent BJ down to lightweight where he’d be strong enough to win his fights. BJ is so overrated, makes me sick.

haha this is ridiculous, everything you wrote is just ridiculous, write actual arguements.
You’r mad because
1)a fat Penn couldnt be harmed by a 100% GSP
2)A TUF comeback winner in Serra beat you’r boi to the ground, and is fighting him again
3)GSP in his career will never accomplish what Penn already has…….the belt in TWO diff. weight classes, and never been knocked out or submitted in all 5 weight classes he fought in.

GSP via however the fuck he wants…prolly something in the standup though…

I like GSP in this fight but I must say what if Serra just has GSP’s number. There are plenty examples of that out there. What is going to happen to all the die hard GSP fans if he loses again. I believe Serra has the mentality to do it, and I also believe the pressure is on GSP. The Pride of Canadian MMA losing at the first ever Canadian Event! Yeah that pressure is on GSP, everyone already has Serra counted out. He has been in this business a long time, maybe he has fallen to some of GSPs past opponents they were all good opponents and Serra is good at throwing punches in the pocket. That is were BJ gave him the most trouble(when GSP layed and prayed his way through that fight). I think GSP fans may be in for a big surprise. Sometimes someone just has your number no matter what you do!

You’re like those who pick on French people all the time, forgetting the fact that without the French there would be no USA.

And without the USA, France would still be singing Deutchland Deutchland till the Furor came to visit for bottles of Champagne…..

I very much doubt GSP is looking past him after last time and we all know what a focussed GSP can do, a la hughes/GSP 2 or 3!

yes he rolled to the side and tapped about 4 times…

think St Pierre will take Serra down this time cos serra seemed to be hard to handle standing last time.

this time St Pierre will try to do what he did to Sherk….

okay, thanks for the confirm. See, I totally do not remember that, it happened so quickly.

I will cry if Georges loses again. Don’t make a girl cry, Georges!

OMG, I’m not even Canadian but I’ll have to come back on that one!

-They can probably find their own country on a map (I’ve seen evidence that many americans can’t) Famous ones too!
-They are good at not killing each other with guns over absurd BS!
-They are by enlarge less obnoxious, more intelligent and better mannered.
-You talk about their Hockey, but what about that lame excuse for a game Baseball…THAT SUCKS!!! And you call it the World series..Do you lot even understand the concept of a world, there is more than just one country in it!
-I bet they have a lower Obesity rate than the US, not that that would be hard, I bet half the guys that post on here are like 350 pounds!

Now don’t get me wrong, I think the US are good at a lot of stuff, but I don’t like those kind of comments. And i think before people like you open your mouth you should do some research into what “THE REST OF THE WORLD” thinks about American’s!

Sorry if i offended any decent US folk! Just wanted to make a point

 We should probably stop all of this, we dont need another pointless World War, because of an internet forum.

I think this whole America vs Canada stuff is getting out of hand.

Back to the topic…….What GSP does best is learn. He is a phenomenal learner. His learning ability far exceeds his fighting ability, and thats saying something.

What this means is he learns from mistakes more than most.

No way will he make the same mistake as the first time.

I love Serra, he is way under-rated, but the truth is, GSP will avenge the loss methodically and devastingly.

devasting?? I mean devastating

Devastatingly………..geez!!!!!!!

I know Serra is no push over, however I can’t stand that mouth of his. Did you see the interview with him and GSP on TSN’S off the record? Serra acts like his the greatest ever. GSP is all class like A. Silva.

Serra isn’t a loudmouth like he is just running around smack talking. He is asked questions in interviews and isn’t afraid to give his opinion. You can tell he is a very humble person. That said, he is also proud and isn’t going to let others walk all over him. So if you go back and watch that TSN interview again you will see that the (Canadian) host cherishes GSP but then cuts off Serra every single time. Serra just called him on it.

I disagree with the notion that there are no “lucky punches”.
I mean, yes, obviously fighters punch with the intention to hit the opponent, but, heck, let me put it this way.

I’m sure if I threw 890311389018309183 punches at Fedor, at least one will get through and knock him the hell out.

 0_o.

No, you will never KO Fedor. Fedor’s chin is iron and should never be questioned…..plus, your arms would be really tired.

No, you will never KO Fedor. Fedor’s chin is iron and should never be questioned…..plus, your arms would be really tired.

PS I fight MMA so I know just how much heart and mental strength you need to fight and I just dont think GSP has it. He might win his next fight but he wont beat Anderson Silva…EVER!

Oh, you fight MMA and know so much better. GSP is on the top level of the top level and has proved himself against world class opposition. On your next idiotic post, please include a link to your fight finder page so we can truly tell your superiority.

And stop with all your US/Canada nonsense. It has nothing to do with borders (unless in your fights you were allowed to swing at each other with your native flag poles), it has to do with athleticism, strategy, and fighting skills. That is something that can actually be debated on this site. (Bad MMA math included cuz it’s fun.)

I’ll NEVER comment on this site again if gsp loses, thats how confident I am he’s going to smash serra, anyone else willing to wager? I’m 99% certain serra will be eating elbows most of the fight, and will have something broken, most likely a nose before its over, gsp is on the war path, serra you better say your prayers but even jesus can’t help him know.

I think also if he gets serra in an armbar he’ll break it before the ref stops him, Gsp secretly hates serra and wants to f**k him up, something bad is going to happen to serra.

I like GSP in this fight but I must say what if Serra just has GSP’s number. There are plenty examples of that out there. What is going to happen to all the die hard GSP fans if he loses again.

  Your an idiot if you think gsp is going to trade with serra all night in the pocket, were stubby armed serra has an advantage. I’ve seen the spider back up from the pocket as guys with longs arms don’t do well there. Gsp will stay clear of the pocket, you can count on that, serra’s only chance, and smash him on the ground repeatedly until he ko’s him.

Americana and george w bush give americans a bad name. this is a forum for fight chat not ethnic, racial, or patriotic attacks or anything of that sort. GROW UP!

Captain Ahab: I respect what you say. I think Serra is a very good fighter with great BJJ as his base. I’m bias in most of my comments cuz he ws my first BJJ teacher..and a bit ticked off at some comments made about how lucky Serra and as you say the respect he has not earned..even though he worked hard for it. His mouth on the TUF was a bit overboard..totally. I love MMA man.. I love the storylines behind these fighters..I 7/10 times root for the guy that is not suppose to win…but I always root for Anderson Silva.

This is what makes our sport so crazy..1 year or so ago GSP was the next Don of MMA..Anderson Silva showed promise..CroCop was going to cause problems amongst the HH’s..Randy was loved by the UFC..Serra had no chance of being a player in the UFC..now look. I love it..next year a fighter we don’t know about will be fighting for a UFC belt.

…. TIM BOETSCH !

LOL! This is so funny how upset all these little ice-yankee’s are! Dont be mad that we would wipe your whole damn country off the damn map. Turn that shit into a huge parking lot…listen Im not saying Canada is is the worst country, Im just saying that if you losers ever got lippy with the USA…then you wouldnt exist anymore. Dont be mad that you guys come from a place that no one cares about! The guy who said “I should think about what the rest of the world thinks of the US before I start running my mouth”…dude its cool cause I know that everyone is always going to hate on the top dog…ex.serra…sorry but he knocked your boy out and he has the belt so your boy GSP isnt the best…period. He lost get over it!
I love sitting here and getting you people all upset cause it gives you something to do when your not shoveling snow.

Oh and the reason that some off us dont know where Canada is on a map is because we dont give a shit what you people do up there…enjoy the cold.

And yes I am aware that Canada has a population that is 1/10 of the US…thats because no one wants to live there!

Ha and I love the fact that all these canadians are saying that Serra’s punch was lucky…yeah well I guess GSP was lucky that the fight stopped when he started tapping cause he didnt want anymore of those big shots to his glass chin.

Serra in a fight that was said " don’t bother showing up " Serra your fighting GSP..he is GSP..I ran into Serra at the Ring of Combat on March 16, 2007 and I wished him luck and he said to me

" I’m going to bring to him "

I believe then and still do now that Serra maybe GSP’s Krpytonite..I didn’t think it part 1 would of went down with a brutal assualt GSP was under. What I find strange is most people felt then and feel now..Serra is going to get killed yada yada..a fight is a fight..and Serra hate him or like shows up to fight.

If GSP s looking passed Serra..at other weight divisions and what not. He will not be that guy. a la Anderson Silva..I like GSP I just like Serra’s chances even though this time no surprise and home tuff advantege to the Canadian. Lert’s see what goes down.. my bet is Serra does it again. Serra knows how to beat GSP..he did it already..Does GSP knw how to beat Serra?? That has yet to happen. He will get a second chance at UFC 84.

Yep, Serra knows how to beat GSP (catch him on the worst day of his life), to bad Serra has no control of that happening again. GSP is doing EVERYTHING in his power to not let that happen again. It is Serra who is coming off the injury this time. If anyone will be looking past their opponent it will be Serra. Serra talks like the same messed up Gsp will show up again. Gsp knows how to beat himself and I doubt he will do that again.

Props to Serra.

If you don’t believe in yourself, there is no point stepping into the octagon.

That being said, he’ll get owned big time. GSP is hell bent on rectifying a previous embarrassment.

To me, this is the biggest factor in GSP winning this fight. Gsp has shown in his rematches to Hughes,if he is hell bent on redemption, he gets it. GSP has never been this pissed. He wants to destroy Serra ,not just beat him. Look what happened when Hughes disrespected GSP’s nationality and GSP still respects Hughes, but he has no respect for Serra and he said he will do his talking in the ring. Serra is right when he says, Gsp has to not like his opponent to fight at his best, yet he isn’t very bright to make GSP despise him. GSP said, “this guy went to far”. My prediction is a quik and brutal beatdown with GSP wearing the belt.

And without the USA, France would still be singing Deutchland Deutchland till the Furor came to visit for bottles of Champagne…..

You mean without the Russians Red Army! Anyway the guy talk about french canadian, not french people!

I totally agree Roy…this guy just rattled off a list of some of the most elite fighters in that weight class and this guy is talking crap? I think there might be something in your water up there in BFE…we all know that nothing good has ever came from Canada. They are just riding our American jock straps. If all of you canadians are so anti-america then get out of the UFC and go start your own MMA org. I love how they all have something to say about the US but there is nothing going on in CANADA except hockey and snow…both are things that we hate here in the states. Lets be serious…your boy GSP has a weak heart and a weak chin.(lol…“Who goes to see a sport shrink”) ex…of a weak heart and mental strength. Serra is the exact opposite he has stone hands and is very confident.
I also dont think his win over an aging Hughes was all that impressive.
Dont get me wrong GSP is a good fighter but he is not the next Anderson Silva…Anderson Silva blows throught his comp. but GSP struggles with the mental end of fighting.
PS I fight MMA so I know just how much heart and mental strength you need to fight and I just dont think GSP has it. He might win his next fight but he wont beat Anderson Silva…EVER!

Last time I checked, the UFC wasn’t country vs country.

I’ll NEVER comment on this site again if gsp loses, thats how confident I am he’s going to smash serra, anyone else willing to wager? I’m 99% certain serra will be eating elbows most of the fight, and will have something broken, most likely a nose before its over, gsp is on the war path, serra you better say your prayers but even jesus can’t help him know.

I’m with you on this one Nathan. I to will never post again on this site if GSP loses. So do we have 2 confident Serra fans to do the same if he loses, or are you all talk.

Beat his ass again Serra and show GSP that your for real!!!

If GSP wins. it would be by TKO/GnP he will not..I repeat. he will not armbar/choke/traingle/nada of that nature..Serra is a World Class BJJ fighter..how many times has Serra been submitted in his career : O

GSP by anything that he wants….including a submission. I hope he mounts him three times like he did Hughes, beats the shit out of him and then rips his head off so I don’t have to listen to that cocky ass anymore.

count me in too….where are all the Serra fans?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Don’t get ahead of yourself, well see what you have to say when Serra(a much lesser version of BJ Penn) gives GSP the fight of his life.

You certainly are an Anomaly…

US OVER CANADA…any day! Name the top three Candian fighters and the only one who has ever done a think is GSP…now name the top three US fighters….sorry fella’s go back to hockey..at least your good at that since no on else except Russia gives two shits about that sport. Havent you ever sat down and tried to think of things that Canada is good at…I bet its a short list.

Randy
Chuck
Rampage
BJ
Forrest
Tim S.
Tito
Kos
Finch
Sherk
Matt H.
Uriah F.
Carlos C….just to name a few cause we all know that there is more.

Canada= Not very tough

GSP
Patrick Cote?….ROFLAO

I thought they banned mental midgets from this site….weird.

I’m with you on this one Nathan. I to will never post again on this site if GSP loses. So do we have 2 confident Serra fans to do the same if he loses, or are you all talk.

I’m in too.

I should add that it’s not because I’m overly confident that GSP will win. But if he loses, I think I’ll be too depressed to come to this forum ever again. I’d be in mourning for a very long time!

GSP WILL win, I guarantee it.

Man the stupidity never ceases. Hockey is a OLIMPIC sport. Olimpics are WORLD sports. Simple enough for ya. Nice long list you made there, to bad ONE man (GSP) has already BEAT half of that list. LOL

You must be using that Canadian math cause he hasnt come close to beating half that list…oh and its Olympics…that must be that sweet Canadian grammer…A? lol what is the point of saying “A” after a question anyways…

You must be using that Canadian math cause he hasnt come close to beating half that list…oh and its Olympics…that must be that sweet Canadian grammer…A? lol what is the point of saying “A” after a question anyways…

Ok he beat 1/3 of that list, but other than fitch ,the rest are in different weigh classes and orgs. so it’s a moot point.

GSP is so mentally focused that he cannot lose…I hate to tell you but Matt Serra has also made GSP that much more hungry by talking all that trash that he won’t back up…as far as BJ goes…he is fat,lazy, out of shape and only wins when he doesn’t have to go deep in the fight…when BJ Fats gets destroyed by Sherk you will see how big a slob he really is

Think before you type my friend, at least make me have to try while I debate you.

NATHAN, your just posting crazy statements now about how awsome GSP is and Penn sucks, your better then that, this leads me to believe you’ve ran out of arguements to defend your boi?

ALl of you talking about politics and USA and Canada need to get the hell out, your on the wrong forum.

OMG, I’m not even Canadian but I’ll have to come back on that one!

-They can probably find their own country on a map (I’ve seen evidence that many americans can’t) Famous ones too!
-They are good at not killing each other with guns over absurd BS!
-They are by enlarge less obnoxious, more intelligent and better mannered.
-You talk about their Hockey, but what about that lame excuse for a game Baseball…THAT SUCKS!!! And you call it the World series..Do you lot even understand the concept of a world, there is more than just one country in it!
-I bet they have a lower Obesity rate than the US, not that that would be hard, I bet half the guys that post on here are like 350 pounds!

Now don’t get me wrong, I think the US are good at a lot of stuff, but I don’t like those kind of comments. And i think before people like you open your mouth you should do some research into what “THE REST OF THE WORLD” thinks about American’s!

Sorry if i offended any decent US folk! Just wanted to make a point

You are totaly right that this MMA match is not between countries it is between the 2 best right now at 170#. Maybe we as Americans are a little big headed but think about it this way. Maybe our leader made a bad choice in going to Iraq. Yes, I think the majority of the US feels that way. But think about this…In my research that you asked of me I discovered that the US for the most part keeps the world go round. Let us start with just the fat 350 Obese American that you spoke of. That fat American as a consumer is buying Cars from Japan, electronics from China, rica and soy products from Eastern Asia, his turkish hash and opiates from eastern Europe alone with his catalog bride and Lolita porn. Then he gets his beef from ARgentina, sugar from different carribean sources, his cocaine for dieting and pot for his glaucoma from Mexico. His sneakers from Thailand, his hip designer clothing and colonges from the Sheik Italian and French designers. He heats his house and get his paper products from our friendly Canadian trees and oil, made Hockey in to a multi-million dollar platform. Yes hockey is huge in Canada and maybe there are very few American hockey players but 90% of your national sports money is made thanks to the good ole USA. And when he sits back to sit and watch his national past time of baseball, where the most dominant players are no linger from the US but are of hispanic origin and there are players represented by many different countries in many different markets unlike your hockey which is really has not expanded its market in years. That is why Hockey which the US makes popular monetarily soeaking is only on Versus in the US. SO we will enjoy our well represented world sport with many culutres and many ethnicities. The only true world sport is Soccer so donot go representing your sport as worldly till you know what you are talking about. Back to America and how the rest of the world hates us. So on top of making the world go round economically, we feed 90% of the world. Are wheat and corn feed people from Africa, to India, to Russia, south America and I am pretty sure even Canada. Then when we are finished feeding the world, spending money around the world, we have to bodyguard the place that other countries won’t do a thing about. IE. Somalia, maybe it was a bit of a cluster fuck, but I did not see the world crying to any other country about the Atrocities that taking place. So the next time a warlord starts killing of babies and women for some blood money, guess who will have be called upon to save the innocent. Not Canada, not France (they are to busy pleasing whoever is most convenient at the moment). Oh Excuse me world It will be NATOSoldiers who guess again are comprised mainly of US Soldiers. So while the rest of the world is pissing and moaning about what a bunch of anal, obese, pig headed sore F*%KERS we Americans are; think about where the rest of the world would be without our capitalistic, obese, war mongering, baseball playing world series having, Canadian RX buying asses….Just some basic research though. I did not go into exact figures and percentages.

Annoying little mon-chee-chee New Yorker. Nothing worse…

Twirp.

Wow. This is almost as relevant to the topic at hand- the GSP/Serra fight- as underwater basket weaving.

NATHAN, your just posting crazy statements now about how awsome GSP is and Penn sucks, your better then that, this leads me to believe you’ve ran out of arguements to defend your boi?

    Sorry Anomaly, I know I’ve never said penn sucks, and realize now my comments where a little over the top. Penn is in my opinion like I’ve said many times before THE most talented MMA fighter in the world…there I said it, I’ve always thought that, but I don’t see him reaching his potential…yet, not the way he trains. I think Gsp is less talented but more athletic, and naturally stronger and I also would love to see a rematch between these two, yea sometimes I get carried away, forgive me. To be honest Gsp is the main reason I’m interested in MMA, like in the old days I used to be a Dan Severn fan, and only watched ufc when he was on, I’m weird like that I guess. I’m one of those super loyal die hard fans and yes I’m canadian and proud of it. I like Gsp’s attitude, humble, constantly trying to improve on his weakness’s and training extremely hard and intelligently. Gsp to me is kind of like Sherk, a specimen.. but more talented in my opinion. Its interesting that the only time Gsp looked not very good was against penn and serra, I agree there similar but I see penn as much better than serra, even though there fight was very close. Gsp to me has more room for improvement in his bjj which leads me to believe he’ll be a bad fight for serra, because I see him gaining a superior position rather easily like he did with hughes. Hughes completely destroyed royce gracie and I know most on this site don’t think of it as much of an accomplishment but I think gracie is an amazing fighter and ruled the ufc for some time in the beginning. I also want to see penn/hughes 3 and gsp/penn 2 and gsp/penn 3, I agree with penn and would like to see these fights in three’s. I guess we’ll find out april 19th who’s the better man but I really feel I won’t be surprised this time, we’ll see.

i personally have nothing against the U.S or its people but i do have a problem with A**holes. please dont attack my country or anyone in it. And dont be so angry when someone has an opinion about the piss poor remarks your making. your entitled to your opinion but choose the right venue. anyways, Gsp rnd2 tko
