I think GSP has a broader skillset, but he let Serra have the fight Serra wanted. It'll be interesting to see what happens if the fight ever goes to the ground. Serra is supposed to be a BJJ black belt, so in theory, he should be perfectly happy to fight GSP on the ground.

I never, ever discount the guy who actually holding the title, if he won it in the ring.
I disagree. There is a reason that he was on the show 'the comeback'. Serra isn't good enough to get a title shot by moving up the ranks. He got his shot by beating other guys that are not elite fighters themselves.

I'm not saying that serra isn't a good fighter. I'm just saying that I agree with matt hughes on this one. If serra and gsp fight 100 times gsp wins 99. Serra will have a chance to prove me wrong soon enough but I will be betting on gsp(again).
