Just curious. Short and sweet explanation: Serra KO'd GSP so there should be a psychological advantage for Serra during the stand up fight. Serra is years beyond GSP in terms of submissions and should be able to win the fight on the ground. How do you guys see it?
Put some on vbookie for Serra cus the odds were ok, but real money would be on GSP, he looks awsome. Calzage/Hopkins is a closer fight than this. Bet on Hopkins
yes, years behond him in submissions.....GSP just submitted Matt Hughes....no easy task....when'e the last time Serra submitted anybody? They said the same thing before he fought KOS that he would easily out wrestle GSP, if Serra should win it would be from a punch not a submission.
LMFAO. MMA does not equal sport ju jitsu. His only chance is the haymaker punch, and if they fought 100 times he would only get it once. He used that turn up, and you lost your money.
I wouldn't bet on this fight. I really think that it is impossible to judge how GSP will show up mentally. I will be able to tell before the fight though. However, even if he is mentally ready... I wouldn't be positive that he wins. I think that Serra actually matches up decent against him. GSP is going to be a bit timid on his feet, and I really don't think that GSP will be in a hurry to take it to the ground either. I give Serra a better chance at repeating than most do. He already showed that he can knock GSP out (and has that in GSP's head), and he is comfortable off his back. Of course, GSP should still be the favorite, and he should win the fight. I really hope that GSP wins... but I would be lying if I said that I wasn't a bit nervous for him.
Well I can't claim to be omnipotent, but looking at their big time careers, Serra has 1 sub and 1 tko total, GSP has run roughshod through the division unlike anybody in history, more top fighters than fedor, more than anderson silva. I don't mean to take away from Serras win, but it was one of those 1980 olympic hockey moments, its Otsuka beating Ruas, its Sakuraba losing to Schembri.
This is a tough one for me being Italian American AND French Canadian on different sides of the family I hope for a draw, lol but I think GSP wins by RNC in the 2 round. I also think Calzaghe wins by ref stoppage in the 9th.
Serra is from Long Island like myself but I still think he's an *******. He got lucky last time & lightning rarely hits the same spot twice. I'm going to go out on a limb & predict GSP by KO over Serra with a kick to the head followed by the best ground & pound elbows in the sport. Serra will be a bloody mess.
