For the love of god, the first match wasn't luck. If anything it was a lack of respect for Serra's stand-up and lack of a gameplan on GSP's part. I like Serra's chances a lot if the fight stays on the feet, Serra's got a good chin and vastly improved stand-up.

This is getting tiresome. The original statement was "GSP beat Serra at his own game." Serra has never really established his own "game" in MMA, winning a vast majority of his fights by decision. My point was GnP isn't Serra's game, which was ultimately his demise in this fight. If that was a submission grappling match, it would have gone the 5 rounds and no way GSP was subbing Serra.
