I have to say I'm a little disappointed. First, you say fluke and then it was luck. You spoke of odds and betting lines and why the odds makers were the gospel. Serra didn't just clip GSP, he knocked him freakin' silly and the ref had to stop Serra from making dents in his face. Your odds makers were wrong. But if I were to follow your logic, GSP was "lucky" against Hughes because he lost against an inferior fighter the next time around and Couture was "lucky" against Sylvia, re-read my comment on your luck statement, it's not lame it's the truth and I know that does upset you! Luck does in fact play a part in somethings, but it is not the main factor in all things. Serra trained for GSP with a new boxing coach, he came prepared for the fight, he was ready and landed a punch where it needed to go, that is in fact called skill and a far cry from your previous statement of "EXTREMELY lucky." My question to you is, "How would you do against Matt Serra? Will you get lucky and take him out the way he took out GSP?" If luck is on your side feel free to test the water! Nathan, I just read you retort on my comment. I have to say I’m a little disappointed.

Serra isn't top ten then suddenly is number 1?????? I still don't think serra's better than ANY fighter after him on the sherdog list, I'm convinced if serra fought any of these fighters in a 10 fight contest they all would beat him more times than he beats them. Sorry ray if this upsets you but I honestly don't see serra's skills and totally disagree with sherdog.[/quote] Nathan, it doesn't upset me. I ran a search of rankings on reputable sites and some I found on google, out of 10 different sites 8 of them had Serra #1, eight! I'm merely stating my position as to whom is the number #1 Welterweight and who is the top contender. Fact is, the Champion is not a contender, he's the Champ, everyone else is trying to climb the mountain and knock him off. That is why all the sites have Serra #1. Everyone else is jockeying for top position, top ranking i.e. ranked higher so as to get a shot at the Champ, Serra the #1 ranked fighter in the Welterweight division. The main issue that got us to this point was Karo Parisyan and why he's not the number #1 contender, and why he doesn't deserve a title shot. And no, Serra isn't my favorite fighter nor am I Matt Serra, I'm taller and better looking!

Where as other fighters still managed to keep their title shots when they recovered from injury. In fact the UFC seemed to be making a point when they gave Karo Diego to fight when he recovered, it was like they trying to make sure he did not get a shot at the title. I do not think Karo could beat GSP or Fitch, looking at how Fitch completely dominated Diego, but I do believe Karo could either submit or knockout Hughes. Karo v GSP 2 would be good though they have both improved a lot and at the time GSP said that his first match with Karo was the toughest he's ever had. He said he really could not predict what Karo was going to do or where the next submission attempt was going to come from. It would be a good match but again GSP would take it, Again I am with Karo on this mainly because when he was injured he never got his shot when he recovered.
