Hopefully Serra can cause GSP some trouble for the sake of a good fight. I dont see him catching GSP the way he did in their first fight so in reality all aspects of the fight favour GSP but maybe a slight edge going to Serra as he is a more decorated BJJ guy. I cant imagine Serra getting good odds.

Thoughts on how it will go?

probably by crazy TKO aftrer taking Serra down to avoid that right hand again. But GSP is defiant I would not be surprised to see him stand and KO Serra like he meant to the first time.

Serra's BJJ in MMA is so overrated. Who has he ever submitted?

GSP has changed a lot since their last fight, so i think its a great possibility.

Hughes is just a wrestler with good subs, Serra on the other hand is an actual BJJ fighter. I think he'll try to keep the fight standing, but if GSP takes him down he will do his best to submit GSP from his back. i doubt it will happen though.

Better question, who's actually willingly taken Serra down and spent significant amount of time on the ground with him?

Being a shitty takedown artist doesn't mean you have shitty submission skills in MMA

The only way that Serra could beat GSP again is with a fluke punch just like the first time, but it sin't going to happen. GSP by extreme domination.

I enjoyed all of the GSP/Hughes fights. I don't understand why you think a dominant fight can't be a good fight.

I think GSP underestimated Serra last time which he won't do again. I do think he will try to take Serra down and GnP him tho.
