GSP looks much the same as he does now but he had a tough time keeping control of Mayhem. Fast forward to his submission victory over Hughes or his domination of Kos and its obvious he's become physically superior to his competition. Does this give him a harder head or stronger chin? Of course not, but it will give him confidence to take this fight to the ground if needed. It will also add power to his strikes.

I agree with his victory of Hughes this last time. He hip tossed Hughes like he was nothing, and that's not easy because Hughes is extremely well balanced and strong himself.
There was a marked improvement in GSP's strength on the ground.
I just don't know if that alone is enough. Serra is coming off a bad injury, but we also don't know what Serra is up to. We know Serra has a chip on his shoulder and will come to fight.
It's who's hungrier IMO for this one.
I kinda have the feelig that Serra is being treated like Apollo Creed after Rocky I
"Man I won, but I didnt beat him"
Even though Serra KTFO of GSP
It's gotta suck for Serra the last 10 months or so.
