Anyone who does is simply naive and does not respect the ground game. Yes, GSP is a sick all around fighter, but excuse me, Serra is better on the ground. Oh, and Serra knocked his ass out last time." Come off it, man. GSP is gonna school your little GJJ black belt this time around. “NEVER underestimate or count out a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt.

If Serra's low back is as bad as his comments have suggested, he might not be able to fight. It’s an even money bet whether the fight even happens.

GSP is like 6 inches taller than him. Is that physically possible? I think Serra will win by a flurry of front/straight kicks. Repeatedly to GSP's liver. whoa – Serra is gonna win by Headkick?

I think Serra has what it takes to beat GSP again. as much as I hate Serra…I have picked him to win this fight in the first round with a headkick.

Serra has GSP's number, Noone will expect it. Just like Dennis Hallman has Matt Hughes’ number, and Rampage having Chuck’s number. Serra has GSP’s number, Noone will expect it.

Sure he's damn good, in fact, real damn good, but everybody's got a "puncher's chance." Serra now knows that if he wants to win he's got to keep it on the feet. GSP now knows to take to the ground. This fight is going at least 3 rounds min. When GSP toyed with Hughes, you could tell that Hughes was a dead man walking into the ring by his own self admission via his interviews and attitude. That doesn't take anything away from GSP, but it almost seemed like a formality. I'm definitely looking forward to see how the two strategies play out of these two men at UFC 83. It'll be a matter of who reverts back to the gameplan of their prior meeting or it'll be a whole new ballgame. Thus a min of three rounds. I welcome responses. Jay K. I’m not buying the hype on GSP.
