He just asked Serra to confirm the things Serra had said about GSP, but while GSP was sitting there. If that made Serra uncomfortable, maybe it's because the things he'd said about GSP were uncalled for. Also, the interviewer asked GSP about the excuse he gave after he lost to Serra, blaming it on a sore knee. GSP showed his class by saying that he was wrong to say that. Contrast that with Serra, who got mad and eventually called the interviewer a prick. Both GSP and Serra showed their true colors. The interviewer wasn’t being ufair to Serra.

I think he was trying to be professional but point out that he was getting shit on in the interview. and I say that with the qualification I have wanted GSP to win since he first came in and I saw how dominant he looked, and Serra's win shocked me and made me actually a bit sad Mike, no doubt I agree with you that he switched it to the announcer, however, that guy was the instigator–

It made Serra visibly uncomfortable and defensive, and that's why Serra jumped on the interviewer when he was cut off. Classic distraction; try to shift the focus to somebody else when you're looking like a horse's ass.

I hate that they were both subjected to such a ridiculous situation to promote their fight. serra's frenchy comment was taken out of context, but still, probably a poor choice of humor in the over-analytical audience. but some folks have an abrasive sense of humor. how both of them kept from slapping the interviewer is beyond me.

Also Serra was retaliating for the excuses GSP made towards their fight. Serra has a right to be frustrated, he was given no respect prior to the fight, and isn't given any afterward either. I still hope GSP wins but if he doesn't, Serra deserves respect and apologies. Serra was explaining where the “Frenchy” comment came from but got cut off.

Maybe you should take the time and Google Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, et al? I think the fact that the Serra resorts to attacking GSP's heritage speaks volumes about the person he is. “In america on every interview I’ve seen you don’t cut people off like that, especially not when you’re asking them tough ass questions.”

In america on every interview I've seen you don't cut people off like that, especially not when you're asking them tough ass questions. Im glad the interviewer tried to stop the sugar coating bullshit, but you know what, when all people are supposed to say is sugar coated bullshit...it was abrupt and I'd be pissed if I was Serra and there was for sure a Canadian bias. On the other hand, I also noticed that GSP didn't seem to really like that interview mode either, almost as though he was uncomfortable for serra LOL. Look that interview was rediculous.

GSP and Serra are great examples of two polar opposite personality types too. GSP is not a talker, but is all about showing up for the fight. Serra is a BIG talker and a type-a personality, but isn't exactly a lame in the ring either. Get a bunch of guys like Serra together, you'll need some earplugs. Grape, I would agree to that.
