Serra is to small to submit anyone at 170
Serra is supposed to be this BJJ god, because he runs a BJJ school and was a BJJ champion back in like 99 or whatever in a couple of different tournaments and he may be but all his fights in the last 5 or so years have gone to a decision whether he won or lost.
I really think he is too small to compete in today's UFC at 170 with his strengths being submissions. He's 5'6" and he's going to try and sub today's 170 pounder's like GSP who's 5'10" or Matt Hughes at 5'9" or Diego, and it's not so much how tall they are i'm just talking about their general frame size and how much they cut to hit 170 whereas Serra probably walks around at 170. I just don't see how he can really compete strength wise and expect to win.
If he had a whole different game plan like maybe he is an excellent striker or an all star wrestler who can GNP his way to victory he might have a chance in that division, but he's not going to be big and strong enough to take down today's 170 lb fighters and sub them without spending a whole lot more energy than his opponents are spending and most of them could probably power out of whatever he's got anyway.
Just my 2 cents. Serra doesn't belong in 170, he needs to go back to 155.
