Yes, Koschek's game plan worked out perfectly tonight. But the fight itself was really boring, since Diego couldn't get anything going, but following Koscheck around the cage. The crowd was booing throughout the entire match.

I also lost alot of my points on GSP

But now Serra is the WW champ and I think Matt Hughes is happy because he will be fighting Serra instead of GSP.

mepersoner · 04-08-2007, 12:00 AM

MMA is crazy. Lil Nog losing to SOK, Syvia losing to Couture and GSP losing to Serra.

Jras0001 · 04-08-2007, 12:03 AM

I bet on Serra but I cant lie, it was partly because of the odds. Ive said in other posts that I thought he had the tools and the ability to beat GSP but I didnt think it would be likely. At best, I thought he would win descision but never expected the performance he put on. Job well done to Serra.

Nice PbP Millerlite, thanks a ton man.

He couldn't beat GSP's stand up LoL Serra might own him too ROFL !!

I'd love to see Serra win against Hughes that would be funny !

subgenius · 04-08-2007, 12:06 AM

We have all just crossed over into the Twilight Zone, where the underdog wins against the 10-to-1 odds. This is the Bizzarro UFC now. LOL.

Matt Serra just "shook up the world!"

Hey, at least Hughes did not jump in the octagon and say "Your performance did not impress me" to GSP, LOL.

LEGHORN · 04-08-2007, 12:07 AM

I think I've lost my mind....everyone I thought was going to win, didn't.

I didn't know Okami well enough to have nothing more but hope that Swick would take that match. I knew Diego and Kos was going to be a good bout going all 3 but it didn't end like I thought it would. BUT....regarding GSP & Serra, even though both have Gracie training and well versed, experienced, and so on....I thought for sure GSP was going to hold on to the belt for awhile.

Jras0001 · 04-08-2007, 12:12 AM

I did pretty well for myself in the betting this time. I went 5 out of 6 and made quite a few points for myself. I really enjoyed the Huerta / Garcia fight. That had to be one of the most entertaining fights Ive seen in a while. Even though he lost, Garcia deserves to be in the UFC.
