GSP's strategy vs Serra

I was just wondering what you all think GSP's strategy should be against Serra. Should GSP prove that he has superior stand-up and pick Serra apart on his feet or should he take the BJJ blackbelt down to the canvas?

Personally, I think GSP should just take Serra down and pound on him. Serra is good on the ground but won't be able to do anything on the ground versus GSP. GSP will overwhelm him on the ground. It's been several years since Serra has submitted anyone and he won't be able to submit GSP unless GSP is hurt from a punch.

Just like I said before their first fight, Serra's best chance of winning will be from a punch. Serra has a puncher's chance. GSP should take this away and just take Serra down.

Ground and Pound. I know Serra is a BJJ Black Belt, but I say Ground and Pound.

I say GSP takes him down first and pounds on him for awhile until Serra is a little hurt and bloody when he lets him back up and lights him up on the feet.

I think he will strike from the outside, show angles and occasionally jump in with a power punch or combination. Some time in the later part of the round(s) he will probably try to take him down to test his defense (and avoid a long submission battle if he gets caught on the way down). If his late-round control is good, he will probably revert to GnP for the balance of the fight. But who knows? A MT plum clinch would be devastating against Serra if he could lock it in.

I think GSP knows that Serra's stubby arms could be a problem for GSP, as far as standup is concerned,(it must be awkward trading punches with Serra) so gsp will wrestle him down just to play it safe, or at least he'll try to.

GNP. That's what GSP is, he's a GNP fighter. He could KO Serra on his feet, but I see him taking him down and going to GnP.

Jab and take him down in the last minute of each round.
