Matt Serra: 'Knees werent bothering me so much' (Audio)

Serra got handled and wouldve been finished round 3 his best chance was going for a lucky punch like in the first match….GSP vs fitch should be the same in fact probably wont make it past round 1.

Imagine the reaction if it was GSP turtled up eating Serra’s knees and it gets stopped. There would have been a riot. Serra said after that he can’t complain, but the knees weren’t hurting him. I’m sure he knew he was in for a long night if it kept going. But that stoppage was a bit premature for my taste. I wanted to see round 3.

I can’t see those knees not hurting. Anytime you take a blow that hard to the ribs, it’s gotta hurt. Were they bad enough to stop the fight? Probably not. Maybe in a regular fight, but when there’s a belt on the line in a title fight? You have to let it go a little longer. I’m happy GSP won, but in a title fight you have to give the defending champ a chance to turn it around.

Come on now! Serra knew that he was getting manhandled.. He knew it.. He was getting confused and couldn’t do anything. Again GSP did the right decision.. Stand and shoot get the take down.. He was on a mission.. And for matt serra saying that the knees didn’t bothering him, but we all know it did and he didn’t even move after 4 devestating knees.. So the ref did a great job. The rule is if the opponent does not defend himself the ref will step in. The rule is the rule.. So clearly he wasn’t. If you look at the replay.. GSP IS THE CHAMP AND WILL BE FOR A LONG TIME..

GSP executed a great game plan. Wrestle him, pound away on the ground and stay out of the jits. On the feet, stay away from mid range exchanges. GSP is the best athlete in MMA. And he will rule until BJ PENN shows up…

He will still rule when Penn shows up. No way BJ could role through Hughes and Serra without taking ANY punishment and make them look like amatures. BJ is good,but GSP is on another level and he will GAS him before the end of the second round and FINISH him GUARANTEED. Look how GSP nulified Serra’s BJJ by cracking him in the face EVERY time he roled for a sub. Penn still has to get by Sherk and that is FAR from a given. I said it before and I’ll say it even more so now, GSP will OWN Penn. The way GSP is improving, he will be even more scary when he meets BJ again.

Ya, I’ll keep dreaming, the same way I was dreaming when I said GSP would utterly RAPE Hughes and Serra. It’s the BJ fans who are dreaming, they can’t seem to come to terms with the FACT that GSP has gotten WAAAAAAAY better since he fought BJ the first time. I really hope BJ can get past Sherk so GSP vs BJ 2 can happen and we can lay this myth to rest, that BJ is better than GSP.

Punishment, one thing you are not taking into considerating when you say BJ took GSP to a decision, is GSP is champ now. That means FIVE rounds this time. Penn was DONE at the end of that fight and he would’ve been FINISHED in the opening minutes of the 4th round. Bj’s condition might have went from crap to good, but look at GSP last 3 fights, he never let up for more than a few seconds at a time. He can fight FULL OUT for at least 10 minutes straight now. With his new RELENTLESS pace BJ will CRUMBLE EARLY, mark my words.

by Gord on Apr 20, 2008 8:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

An in shape Penn will dominate GSP. GSP has proven he is afraid of getting hit (hence his perfect game plan against Serra), and Penn loves to throw. The only way GSP can beat Penn decisively (if Penn is in shape of course) is to execute the same gameplan he used against Serra.

by charles on Apr 21, 2008 2:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

GSP is afraid of getting hit as much as Chuck Liddell is afraid of getting subbed on the ground. Both guys fight to their strengths, and have multiple world titles to show for it.

agreed! Im pretty sure outside of Kaleb Starnes most fighters are over the “scared of getting hit” phase.
GSP definitely isnt scared.
Penn and GSP could both probably be argued top 5 fighters lb for lb in the world. It would be an all out war due to Penns strategy and great technique and experience vs GSP’s athletisicm, strength and skill level.
Im not sure that either fighter could beat Silva in a standup or ground match. Remember Silva is the one that submitted Lutter. Silva is just too damn big and athletic for both Penn and GSP IMO. I could be wrong though. You can never count out either of those fighters and you never know who matches up really well with who until you actually see them fight

For one, Penn did role thru Hughes without taking any punishment, both times, until the rib injury. He will role thru sherk like he did Hughes and Joe Stevenson, and then you’ll make somehting else up. Serra really didnt attempt anything besides that ulma plata, so there was no BJJ to nulify.

Besides the knees, Pierre only had one significant GnP instance in round one, ill admit he dominated Serra, but I don’t see it as being the brutal slaughter everyone makes it out to be, he dominated positioning more than anyhting, and only from guard.

But Serra looked to me like he gassed before the end of round 1 even, he was keepin GSP in guard and holding off most damage until the second time it went to the ground, and Serra looked very tired to me.

by The Anomaly on Apr 20, 2008 7:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

When I say role through,I don’t mean he was winning and the GOT HIS ASS KICKED, like BJ did LAST time he fought Hughes. Exactly, there was no BJJ to DEFEND, that’s my whole point, when I said he nulified it by cracking him in the face every time he roled so he couldn’t lock on a hold (he was to preocupied eating leather). You’re right Serra was gassed and if you go back and read some of my posts, I said a few times, GSP would gas Serra VERY quickly just like he did Hughes and just like he will do to BJ (the WORST conditioned of the 3 by far).

by Gord on Apr 20, 2008 8:22 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Don’t know how Penn is the worst of all conditioning. He went 3 rounds with GSP, all the while keeping him in his guard avoiding any kind of damage whatsoever.

He didnt gas hughes, he just caught him in a sub, something which Penn did twice as fast as Pierre.

Penn’s conditioning is gonna be tip top especially now, and the whole fight will look like round 1 of there first fight did. Remeber how bad GSP did agisnt Penn before Penn got tired? Remember that? Man he was gettin OWNED by Penn. ALl you GSP fans forget how bad Penn dominated GSP while fresh. Imagin a fresh Penn for the whole fight, poor GSP.

by The Anomaly on Apr 20, 2008 8:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Hughes was so gassed,he couldn’t pick GSP up when he had both of his legs against the fence. Penn did avoid all damage when GSP was on top (something no one else has done), however he didn’t look like he would last 2 more rounds in a title fight, which the next one will be. It has nothing to do about GSP fans forgetting the fight.It’s just not everyone considers 1 poke and a clip to the nose OWNED. BJ NEVER touched GSP after that. I don’t know what fight the Penn fans were watching.Penn landed a half decent body punch, the only other punches thrown by either fighter, were nothing but love tapps, that were easily blocked. GSP stated in a post fight interview, “BJ hit me in da eye and da nose,udder den dat, he never touch me”. All the damage was done by 2 punches,which is a testament to BJ’s hands,but lets keep it real, 2 punches is a LOOOOOOONG way from ownage.

Since gsp fought bj he has beat 3 top 5 WW hughes twice, koscheck, and serra(even though i don’t consider him a top 10 he is in the rankings). Who has bj beat?..he gassed against hughes, beat pulver and stevenson. In NO way do any of these guyz compare to gsps competition. They’re not even ranked top 10(well maybe stevenson but that’s up for debate) the fact that you defend bj like this shows that you are a diehard nuthugger. Wait till he proves his cardio and beats better competition b4 you start spewing crap. I think it’s possible that bj could beat gsp but he hasn’t done anything to prove that recently. So when you say that penn has an advantage, it makes no sense. Tougher competition, check, amazing cardio, check, improved wrestling, check. Seems to me like gsp has the advantage.

The fact is, that in round one, while both fighters were 100%, went to Penn hands down. So All I can do is look at the evidence at hand. A fresh Penn, beats a fresh GSP.

Anomaly, how do you figure GSP was 100% when he got POKED IN THE EYE right off the bat, that is FAR from 100%. The evidence is Penn can’t finish a wounded GSP. Penn did all the damage in the first minute after the eye poke. I know BJ’s cardio sucks, but to say he gassed in the first round is rediculous. There’s a reason eye pokes are illegal. I’m not saying BJ did it on purpose (athough his finger did find it’s way into Hughes’s eye also),but the loss of vision hindered GSP’s performance.

by Gord on Apr 27, 2008 1:02 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

GSP will beat Penn, only because he’s naturally a bigger fighter. However, Penn will be a handful for GSP, just like last time. GSP’s wrestling is getting better, so he’ll do the lay n’ pray like last time. BJ Penn is also getting better, he has outstanding cardio as well.

Are you really comparing Serras bjjto BJ Penns? The out of shape BJ Penn already went three rounds with GSP. GSP got owned the first round and a half and when his game plan did not work he layed an prayed his way to a win. So if you think That a 205# MAchida could not own him do you really think GSP will own him? You are crazy…

How about Bisping’s win by TKO to forarms? When is Bisping going to start fighting real guys? How about a Chris Leben, Nate Quarry, MArquardt, or Tanner? All this fluff that he gets is absurd. Are they going to keep giving him these nobodies on payper view cards?

Gord…

BJ made Hughes look like an amateur in their first fight. And he was owning him in the second until he cracked his rib. Penn has upped his game since they last fought much like GSP. Granted, GSP is the better athlete and his game is airtight nowadays, but I think that Penn has an undefinable quality that makes him a better fighter. Call it talent, but that might not be the most accurate word, because GSP is super talented. GSP would call it a certain je ne sais quoi.

I agree with Punishment. Penn has never been owned, whereas GSP has. That said, I concur with GSP that the loss to Serra actually made him a better fighter. He will try to do the same to Penn, wrestle him and stay out of the jits while working his GnP. But this time BJ will be in top shape. There is no one in MMA with his BJJ skills. And he’s a more accurate striker than GSP. St. Pierre is super tough to submit, but if anyone can do it, BJ can. I wouldn’t guarantee a victory for Penn, but there is no way on earth that GSP dominates him. Watch what BJ does to Sherk and I’m sure you will agree. Not that Sherk is in GSP’s league, but he can wrestle and has big cardio. When BJ schools him the hype machine for GSP/PENN will begin.

AH, how do you figure that. GSP has been owned and Penn hasn’t, WHAT? Did you miss HUGHES pounding BJ’s head into the mat. I admit Serra beat GSP fairly that night. Why can’t a Penn fan say the same thing when Hughes pounded him out. “He was injured” is LAME. That’s all part of the game and it is up to the fighter to be well CONDITIONED to lessen the chance of injury. Also it wasn’t just the injury, Penn HAD NO LEGS LEFT, how in the hell did a bad rib effect his legs? BJ made a mistake by burning his legs out trying to finish Hughes at the end of the 2nd and he paid for it. The thing is, Penn owned and then got owned by Hughes. GSP did it the other way a round with Serra. BIG DIFFERENCE.

I could not agree more. GSP has never been owned by anyone. The only time he loses its a fluke punch or submission. BJ WONT BEAT SHERK. And even if he does, he’s got a lot to prove before he’s ready to take on George. Especially after he was dominated in their first fight (minus the eyepoke,lol).

by Spitforce on Apr 21, 2008 6:17 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

The only person that can challenge GSP is a lean and motivated BJ Penn. They are my 2 favorite fighters and will root for bj

Striking: GSP slightly edges out BJ – bj’s strikes are short and heavy and have ALOT of power behind them while GSP has a longer range and bigger arsenal

Ju-jitsu: BJ is on another level – GSP might be able to power out of most sub attempts but not for long, especially if BJ is in top position

Wrestling: GSP by a considerable margin – BJ can neutralize most wrestlers including GSP according to their first fight

Cardio: GSP by considerable margin – BJ has gone thru multiple 5 rounders but he’ll need to go full out

Chin: BJ Penn has a concrete block for a head – GSP’s only chance at KOing BJ is a kick to the head, which will be difficult with BJ’s cat like reflexes

BJ vs GSP Prediction: BJ by triangle/rn choke in the 3rd OR GSP by unanimous decision hahaha

by jerrolds on Apr 20, 2008 10:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Excellent assessment jerrolds, I would give BJ the better hands and GSP the better overall striking,because he makes more use of 4 more weapons, kicks and knees.However I don’t agree GSP’s only hope of a win is a decision. I think conditioning will be the factor in this fight. Many people neglect to concider top conditioning as one of a fighters greatest weapons. If 2 inexperianced guys fight, the one who gasses first, loses. If you take 2 experianced fighters with similar skills, the same thing applies. A gassed black belt is no longer a black belt. My prediction is, GSP by BJ gassing. You said it all,when you said, “BJ will have to go full out”. He’s went 5 rounds,but not full out.

It looked like Serra was almost finished with stage 1: tire out GSP from throwing knees to the kidney.

Stage 2 was undoubtedly to tire out GSP’s fists to his forehead and chin. Continuation of the jabs he was testing out earlier.

I agree with Penn/GSP. Both are vastly improved. GSP’s strategy of impregnable take-downs and GnP seems flawless and unbeatable. Penn is just so good on his back though, and such a natural that it would be an awesome fight, potentially 5 rounds of good action. First Penn fights Sherk and Huerta, and GSP fights Fitch and maybe Thiago.

See, I knew there would be some disagreement here as my girlfriend and I also had this discussion after the fight. In my humble opinion, the fight was stopped pre-maturely. Serra took a couple bad knees but it looked to me like he was in what in BJJ we call a “turtle guard” where he was on curled up and his hands were on the his temples. His arm should have been lower to guard his ribs but they weren’t so he took a couple of knees but … I don’t see that as a basis for stoppage. Serra was clearly concious and one can argue that he was intelligently defending himself. I felt that GSP was winning the fight, definitely but the stoppage was kind of premature.

What happened in the fight? I think GSP is in the best shape we ever seen him in and Serra got a little too comfortable on his back.

Serra didn’t protest the stoppage. The stoppage was similar to Lutter-Franklin.

i think gsp is just way to strong for serra. and i dont think it was stopped to prematurely. it almost looked like serra was looking at the ref to stop the fight. if i was the ref, when serra looked up at him, i would of stopped it too. but some may disagree

Does Serra have any subs of his back with his Renzo Gracie “Black Belt”? I mean does he have any submission wins against anyone notable? If I remember correctly, his last 5 or so wins came by way of descision. I was not impressed by his performance!

And by the way yes i picked Serra to win, but damn! I figured GSP wouldn’t want to stand and bang with MS, which he didn’t, but I figured we’d see a few armbar or triangle attempts while Georges was throwing from the top. I mean his JJ doesn’t even look “good” let alone on a Gracie Black Belt level.

Good point. everyboday always talkes about serra’s jits, but he’s never submitted anyone in the UFC. In fact, he’s lost most of his fights. I knew once GSP pounced it was all over for the ""Terror"" with his stuby arms and legs. He should fall to 20 in the world with that performance. But then so should hughes and koscheck by that logic.

Did I miss Serra complaining,after the ref stopped that fight, because I don’t remember him saying anything. Normally if a fighter thinks a fight was stopped to early they tend to make a hell of a lot of noise and make a point showing there dissaproval. I don’t remember Serra doing any of that. He lost plain and simple. He needs to get over it.
