He very well could. I don't see serra pulling ANY submission. Besides serra not submitting anyone in years, gsp would be on the hardest 170's to submit. Penn couldn't.

This easily could be a domination, but HEY man Serra did it once, who's to say he can't do it again.

Standing = St Pierre is the more techinacal striker

Wrestling - St pierre by a mile

BJJ - Serra, but GSP is good here too

Mental - Serra ALWAYS has a good mental state, gsp's is unknown

strength - GSP (serra should be 155 and George is a huge 170)

Conditioning - GSP. His training is much more demanding, and watching serra's fight on TUF, he tended to gas and just kinda lay thier.

OVER-ALL - I gotta pick George. It sucks that Matt doesn't get the respect he deserves, but GSP was so dominate over hughes. Im picking a 2nd round tko for GSP via brutal ground and pound.

Do I want to say it? No. But yeah, he'll probably dominate him much like GSP/Hughes III.

Serra's MMA BJJ just isn't up to snuff to stop GSPs GnP, neither is his sprawl.

I really hope he worked on the rubberguard to keep GSP from posturing or the butterfly guard to hopefully sweep him or create space to get things standing again.

I think gsp is going to go in there and want to make serra suffer with a beating more punishing and more embarrassing than hughes 2 and 3.

GSP should win this. I think 2nd TKO but it is possible he'll go for a submission to settle the score. If it doesn't work, he will most likely switch to GnP. Just feel he has more ways of winning than Serra does.

its going to be just like the GSP vs Hughes trilogy... Hughes finishes the fight in round 1 the first time, GSP dominates the 2nd and 3rd fight... GSP will dominate Serra, and if Serra ever gets a rubber match, he will be dominated even worse

kingpaolo · 04-17-2008, 06:41 PM

I think so ,. although GSP will want to pound him out... but the wrestling clinic will continue

The difference is.. Serra will be much better on his back, and much more comfortable than Hughes. Hughes gets on his back and it's panic mode. Serra can welcome him in. It's no longer a battle for top position, that GSP normally wins.
