The first fight was NOT a fluke. GSP had been completely owned by Matt Serra. The ONLY reason people keep saying it was a fluke was because Serra was "supposed to lose" that fight. Sorry GSP, but "I was not impressed with your performance." I love throwing those words back in his face. It took two rounds for GSP to do to Serra what Serra did to GSP in one round.
Compare all you like, but the bottom line is that these two fighters are now 1-1 against each other. Each took a title belt from the other guy in DOMINANT style. IMO, they are now even. Only a rubber match will decide who really is the better fighter.

Technically you are right, it also took MH 1 round to beat GSP and then GSP dominated him twice even though he won in the 2nd both times. GSP did the smart thing by taking Serra down and dominating him where he knew he could win. I believe he could dominate him on his feet as well but due to the last fight he wisely chose not to take that chance. After watching both fights even though they are 1-1 against each other GSP is clearly the better fighter IMHO. GSP now knowing that he can beat Serra for sure means he would dominate a 3rd fight even more convincingly as he did against MH. I dont believe there is even a need for a 3rd fight w/ Serra even if a rubber match is warranted. I see a MH/Serra fight next for Serra in which MH will beat him and then he will fall out of the picture IMO. No offense to Serra, I respect the guy and dont buy that the 1st fight was a fluke but I kinda see him fading away.....
