Serra does a great job of mixing up his attack even taking BJ down at one point. BJ stuffs most of Serra's takedown attempts and lands some nasty leg kicks and punches in the process. Overall a very difficult fight to score but I think BJ barely eeks it out in the third.
Very good techniqual battle between 2 outstanding fighters and future Champions. I actually though Serra won but its the type of fight that there is no real clear winner. Wish Serra could cut to 155 agian he would be one of BJs toughest challengers at that weight.
Penn shouldn't move up again. With that said Penn being Penn most assuredly will move up again hahha.
I agree; he is such a better fighter at 155, and there is really no reason for him to go anywhere else. As for the Serra fight, I think if he would have been a little more confident in his ground game he could have performed a little better.
I think had this been a 5 Rounder, Serra could have pulled off a win just as Pulver did against Penn. Conditioning had always been Penn's biggest problem until recently and in the first Pulver fight he basically got out hustled in the championship rounds. I could see Serra doing something similar as he was definitely wearing Penn out.
