Good points. I think that is part of it and I also think part of it was simply Serra coming in with a better gameplan than George (having people mimicking George during training and deciding to stand with him). I think GSP/Serra 2 will be much more in George's favor.

Interesting point thread starter, good post. Hopefully even if trash talking is at a minimum, (unlikely) Georges will still have all the fury in the world after his crushing loss to Serra. I think he'll be back to destroy no matter what.

The man can't even defend the belt. HAHAHAAHA!!!!!

Ignorance is Blisss!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the TS nailed it. A pissed GSP is unstoppable.

Gsp Is A Genuinely(bad Spelling) Nice Guy, All Around Great Athlete, Loves To Fight, And Has Great Control Of His Emotions, All The Gsp Fans Know This, I Think That Josh Koschek Will Be In For A Bad Night

I don't think KoS will talk too much trash to George.....but George needs to be a hungry fighter again.

Looks like Kos won't be GSP's next opponent. The rumor is that it'll be Lytle (a very nice guy and not a trash talker). I have little doubt that George would win that fight but it'll be interesting to see if he can finish Chris.

...not going out on a limb here but I predict a UD for GSP
