The words of GSP himself:

“My plan going into the fight was to put him on his back and work some ground and pound,” St. Pierre said at the post-fight press conference for UFC 83. “I wanted to stay on top and constantly pressure him. I wanted to be relentless. I thought that Serra giving up his back might have been an attempt to turn the fight into a jiu-jitsu match. Matt’s a world-champion grappler, I wasn’t going to buy into his game.”
