Joe you are almost as intelligent as Pete Sell. Lol I honestly didnt even know someone could have the audacity to say GSP is weak in anything, i dont know if you have eyes but did you watch the matt hughes fight? Also i am pretty sure GSP is mentally strong enough not to get knocked out with like 5 seconds in a fight by A SPINNING BACK FIST? Joe you, Pete Sell, Gary Shaw and Sean Sherk should start your own blog where only retards can give their opinion. #8 Joe did you really make a reference to someone knowing Serra in elementary school and thats how you know he is tough?

His disparaging remarks were delivered in the inimitable Serra gumbadi style. It has apparently ruffled GSP's feathers. We'll see how much bite has has in him when they meet again.

While I don't put him at #1 in the division, he's definitely top 3 right now. Say what you will about lucky punches and a mentally unstable GSP, he destroyed the best fighter in the weight class when they last fought. Against another top 3 P4P (BJ Penn) he went the distance in a very close fight. Matt Hughes, on the other hand, has some devastating losses against the same two guys (though he does have a W against each as well). And Hughes is still top 5. Against Karo, Serra almost KO'd him, but couldn't finish, so that fight was very close. No one has made Serra look bad in recent memory. He has world class BJJ and has become a very good striker. No one in the division would be able to steamroll through him, he is a serious challenge to anyone at WW. I think he could beat Fitch and Kos, though those fights would be real close. Serra is very tough mentally and super seasoned at this stage in his career. If it weren't for his recent injury I would say he had a real shot at shocking GSP a second time. As it stands though, I just can't see GSP losing. I think he's going to set a pace that Serra can't hang with. But it should be a hell of a fight and I think Serra, even in losing, will prove he deserves his place near the top of the divison. I think Serra deserves his high ranking.

Eh... maybe. And that's a HUGE maybe. I mean, he did dominate the universally recognized no. 1 WW in the world. Now, I don't agree that Serra should have EVER been ranked at #1; which up until after UFC 79, he was. Aside from GSP, Serra has done nothing... absolutely nothing to garner even a top 10 ranking. What I'm wondering is this: will Serra will drop out of the top 10 if GSP completely handles him? “so what if GSP didn’t have the belt and Serra beat him then…. does a lucky punch seriously garner someone T5 rights?”
