Well at the level there at (title fight) it is enjoyable to see actual competition, unless its a fighter you hate.

I don't think he will dominate Serra like Hughes, because Serra has better stand up then Hughes. I also think that the mind game is something that could get to GSP still. I think this fight will be a back n forth battle, nothing like the domination he has had with Hughes in their last two fights.

GSP vs Serra II is gonna look a lot like GSP vs Sherk. GSP is gonna stand, take him down and pound him out. Serra once again has a punchers chance so you can't count him out but most likely GSP will take him down and either submit him or knock him out.

Sherk didn't have the power Serra has in his strikes, plus I think his reach is even shorter than Serra's. As for styles, Sherk was constantly worrying about takedowns and getting taken down; this tends to influence your style of striking. Serra on the other hand (if he fights the same way he did last time), won't even bother trying to take GSP down, and won't bother defending a takedown either. That makes it a much more dangerous fight for GSP, whether he keeps it on his feet or takes it to the ground

Also unless Serra gasses badly or gets very stunned, GSP isn't going to be submitting him
