Positive Energy vs. Negative Energy (Serra vs. GSP)

Now i dont know what you all believe in, but i believe in karma. I think the energy of and around a person can really affect them, especially so in a fight. I was thinking about the Serra/GSP matchup and came to this conclusion:

Despite GSP's obvious superiority in skill and athleticism, he must fight off a lot more negative energy while Serra will enjoy nothing but good thoughts and well wishes.

Look at it this way.

All the people supporting Matt are saying, "We believe in you Matt. We know you can do it. We're all pulling for you."

All the people supporting GSP are saying, "You better not fuck this up again!"

They say that it's only the 2 people in the ring fighting, but that's not totally true. The energy of the fans is in there as well. The millions of people watching and rooting for their fighters from home are channeling all their hopes toward them.

GSP has all the advantages, but as the Terra' said, he's got all the pressure too.

You really don't get Karma, do you?

So are you like saying that Serra has enough 'good' energy to do like a kamehameha or something???

i guess serra camp calling gsp a mental midget and a frenchie and making fun of the french culture doesn't have an impact on the karma side.

and here's one gsp supporter whose not saying "he better not fuck up this time". after all, gsp lost to hughes the first time and we all know how the next two outcome went.

it's more ... thank god ... i only have to wait another 4 days until harmony between heavan and earth is restored.
