If Matt Serra loses to GSP, is he still top 10?

Only if he puts up a good fight, if GSP runs through him, no he shouldn't be.

I agree. If he puts up a really good fight against GSP but still loses, it shows that his first win wasn't really a fluke, and he should still be ranked in the top 10.

I'm not sure if he will or not. The only way I see him staying top ten is because he was just the champ or if he puts up a hell of a fight.....and then there is the chance that he wins again.

I think it depends on how he looses. The guy has always been dangerous but he was right when he sais he shocked the world, and you don't do that as a top 10 guy.

I dont think losing to GSP knocks him out of the top 10. If thats the case there are a few more guys who need to go also. GSP is recognized by most as the best 170lb fighter on the planet. How does losing to the best there is make you not top ten?

I belive the underlying issue is did he deserve a spot in the top 10 for 1 win, from what is kinda being looked at as a lucky punch / GSP not focused.
