Hope he is 100% better. I don't give him a chance against GSP but I never gave it to him the first time either. |

Yeah, lets get the Serra - GSP fight over with, so we can see the Karo-GSP 2 fight. Karo is the only fighter imo, that I wouldn't pick a winner in.

Haha, still wouldn't give Serra a shot, even though he beat GSP already in dominating fashion? Gotcha 
He's been at the academy more lately, still haven't seen him training or anything, but he's always in good spirits (like he said, sometimes moreso than the people around him!). War Serra!

Instead of using the word "dominating" I would replace it with "luck". I will bet anything that GSP makes Serra look like an amateur in their next fight. |

Oh come on. I guess by your logic, everyone that ever rocked their opponent with a punch, swept in and finished in dominating fashion is lucky then?

well I never gave serra a chance in the first fight I thought there was no possible way he would win I wasnt even that interested in the first fight but I have to give it to serra and I wouldnt call it luck either serra is better than a lot of people give him I still think GSP will win the second fight but I wont count serra out like I did before.

Serra beat GSP once, there is no reason to think he couldn't beat him again. Obliviously, I hope that doesn't happen, I'm just saying, don't count Serra out just yet.

It was one punch that rocked him and Serra isn't exactly a striker is he? I usually don't use the word "luck" in MMA but in this case I feel it is necessary. |

GSP will manhandle Serra on their next fight. It may not last 1 rd.

No, Serra's not really a striker and you're right - that first one did rock him but plenty of good fighters have recovered after being dropped. Maybe GSP could've recovered if Serra didn't get "lucky" a few more times and stay on him like he did.
GSP is likely on a different level than Serra...but perhaps Serra has his number 
P.S. I'm a fan of both these guys. |

Anything can happen I'll give you that, I'm not writing Serra off 100%, just 99%.  |

Serra should have the same odds coming in to this fight as he did in their first fight.
Serra better work on his striking because if it goes to the ground he has no chance.
