-Don't see anything? Craziness.
GSP submitting or TKOing Serra on the ground is much more unlikely than in the case of Hughes imo. The fight is 5 rounds. Every round starts standing. Serra has that KO power and he's gonna go in balls out, unlike Hughes.

If GSP is smart he makes it a 5 rounds kickboxingmatch where he circle arounds and keep distance.This is not something that will make GSP very popular but in Cannada he might get away with it.
I think this might become a war and Serra is tough as neils.
A lot wil be decided in the clinch and takedowns I think.

I am not saying it would be the easiest thing to do but GSP needs to forget about their last fight and do his thing. If he does that he will be fine IMHO.....

Serra though is like gettin nada respect for the fact that he beat the crap out of GSP the last time. GSP might be tough but I have seen fighters getting stunned like that and recover a lot faster then him= AKA Big Nog.I personaly belive GSP`s biggets weaknes is his chin. Combine that with Serra having heavy hands and we got an open fight that can go any ways.

The fact people aren't giving Serra a chance in this one because "lighting can't strike twice" is just foolish. Serra has all of the tools, including a hugely improved stand-up game. I just can't wait for this one, I have feeling people will be shocked. Again.
