What if Serra beats GSP?

How will people see him?

I like them both, GSP is obviously the favorite. BUT what IF Serra wins again? By luck or skill. How will people see Serra?

If Serra beats him a 2nd time then major proprs for doing something twice that nobody thought he could do 1 time, and gave him the same slim chance the 2nd time around.....

If that does happen, then Hughes will beat Serra then we get to see GSP put another beat down on Hughes which I don't mind..
Either way the title is coming to Canada very soon.

not biased at all, I am actually rather objective when analyzing a fight. I do however root for my favorite fighters, not who I think is going to win.

I'm sure if Arlovski were fighting Fedor you would pick AA to win even though Fedor is obviously the better fighter.

Also, as a mod, I don't think you are setting a good example to the rest of the forum by personally attacking me. My posts are my oppinions and if you disagree with them that is fine, but they are no more of a waste of space or bandwith than your posts or anybody else's.

Thanks OBT,

I get alot of flak around here for voicing my oppinions by certain members, some of them staff. I enjoy debate, so I have no problem when people disagreeing with me, but personal attacks and telling me to leave the forum are uncalled for. I do not break any rules and I do not disrespect anybody here, all I ask is for the same courtesy in return.

Pitbull is extremely biased when it comes to Tony Starks, I bet if I started posting how great AA is and change my avy to AA, he would change his user name and start hating Arlovski, just out of spite.

All that is fine but you still come off as some kind of "elitist". And for future reference, Tony Starks might not want to refer to Tony Starks in third person.

Relax PitBull is a great mod/member. We all have are moments.

In fact I really don't mind anyone here. TS you have to admit, you do push people buttons even if it is all in good fun.

I agree.

MC enjoys Tony Starks' posts immensely, whether MC agrees with Tony Starks or not.

After 20 posts of:

"I think BJ will dominate too!"

WAR PENN!!

crazy or not, a Tony Starks post is a breath of fresh air.

Keep on keepin on, Tony.

i disagree completely..............saying hughes will not only beat GSP(which wasnt even close) but will move up and dominate anderson silva and say his striking is gonna be better by then is completely bias. If thats not bias then i want to know what in the world you saw in hughes to make you think all that. I know this is off topic but ever since GSP won you've been acting like your this nice guy who is only stating his opinion but yet your saying you analyze the fighters and all that and act like your a god in nhb.

I agree 100%. When I see a post by TS I am actually kind of excited. He gets so much hate around here yet he breaks no rules.

Back on topic, I think that there is nothing worse than insulting someone's heritage and nationality. Serra has come across as a very cocky, disrespectful person since the last season of TUF. I know a lot of it probably has to do with editing and what not but you can't take back some of the things he has said. GSP is going to put a hurting on him and I can't wait to see it in person.

Vale Tudo is an example where almost everything is allowed, head butts, bare knuckles, knees, stomps.

So how is that being objective? You will predict your favorite fighter will win regardless of who has the greater skills.

No, because I'm not an idiot.

I'm not attacking you. I'm currently attacking your arguments.

If you find it uncomfortable, please feel free to leave the forum.
