He was tentative in his 1st loss to Hughes but everyone could see that #2 would be different. And it was. I just watched #3 the other night and had forgotten just how dominant he was over Hughes. He's an animal and will dominate Serra too. Do you remember how he tossed hughes aroung? How about Koschek?? That being said, it's MMA and an errant blow could find it's way in, but I think you're gonna see GSP to the 2nd power this time. No one is gonna wanna be Matt Serra on Saturday night. I also happen to like Serra but GSP has always been my pick to win it all. He's a freak- a smart freak at that... and my top PFP, too. GSP has grown immensely and deserves all the accolades he gets.

Just seems odd how he says he doesn't want to talk about what was going on his his life, yet he then talks about it and refers to someone passing away. Sounds like a guy saying he does not want to make excuses, then makes a bunch of excuses.

HOWEVER ... he(we) can not "erase" the memory of getting KTFO ! Yes, GSP has dominated EVERYONE ... but you must admit that he will be cautious of SERRA and, imho, this fight could be a repeat of the first, SERRA is very confident, AGAIN, like the first fight, and SERRA just may have GSP's number. Best of Luck to BOTH fighters .... can't wait for the "rubber" match (tipping my hand at who will win this one) I think GSP is the man … HOWEVER … he(we) can not “erase” the memory of getting KTFO !
