Why don't we take the word "fluke" off the table. We are dealing in semantics. What cannot be argued is that GSP is the far better fighter. When the better fighter loses, did he have a bad day? The only way to vindicate oneself is to have a rematch and completely dominate. GSP did that. Serra did, well, not much.
And I would like to re-iterate a previous point: GSP's game plan was never put into action in the 1st fight. He walked into an almost immediate right hand. You cannot argue that his game plan was so much better last night because he could have had the exact same game plan before. What was Serra's game plan? Obviously trying to submit from his back was not part of it. If he really thought that GSP would be afraid to take him down, then his plan was flawed. I think his plan was to try to land something and, if not, pick up his check and sign a deal to fight Hughes. It was a no lose situation for Serra.
