“It is crazy! Last year may have been an upset but, believe me, it was no fluke. What is a ‘lucky punch?’ Who do these people think I was trying to punch in the face if not Georges? Seriously – where did the luck come into it? I got him hurt and didn’t let him off the hook. Seriously, you tell me, if you aim at something, and then hit it time and time again, was it luck or did you just do what you were trying to do?… All the pressure is on GSP. He has to live up to all this BS about him, he has to step into the Octagon with a man who punched his lights out last time. I’m rematching a guy I beat inside one round, where’s the pressure? No-one is looking at me to do anything, for whatever reason, so there’s zero pressure on me.”
UFC Welterweight Champion Matt Serra makes the case for his rematch with Georges St. Pierre at UFC 83 in Montreal, Quebec, at the Bell Centre on April 19. It’s hard to disagree with the statement above, which is not to say that Serra is going to win. He just makes a good point.

I really like this guy.
matt serra is a idiot george st.peirre knoked him out just one or two weeks ago!!!but still have respect for anyone in the ufc.
Matt was thinking he put light off to GSP, but i think he didin’t see this fight…GSP is a True WARRIOR,notting can’t stopping him now. So i don’t want to be in Matt short next fight. Sincerly your’s SGV
He’s gonna get smashed
i hate him but have to agree on the lucky punch theory
I hope GSP knocks that smirk right off his face. Doesn’t this guy look like a munguloid? Am I the only one who sees that? If I were to look at him and didn’t know who he was I would say he looked like a retard.
seems like him and georgie arnt as good of friends as they once were… funny that the only guy he could probably beat out of the top 5 welterweights is the guy at the top of the list…
Serra has said many times that GSP has all the pressure, which is kind of true, but Serra does hold the WW belt. It is the first time he has ever had to defend it, plus he came off a back injury recently…
You also have to remember GSP took serra lightly. Imagine beating one of the top WW fighters at the time, and then having to face a fighter who got a title shot only because he won a reality show. Not to say Serra is not a good fighter but i expect a different fight this time and so do most people.
Hilarious, this guy. He has a good point and I don’t count him out. I think he can do it again but I am still not sure I believe he is going to.
Oh cool! Now my comment can await moderation for 2 hours! Sweet!!!!!!!
It wasnt a lucky punch. He beat him and he was the better figher that night. But it aint gonna happen again. GSP is gonna destroy him this time around.
I really hope Matt Serra dominates him again!!!
It will be so funny if Serra beats him again, unlikely, but real funny.
Lol, any really good fighter knows that luck is a major thing in MMA. You can train like hell, be an amazing fighter that has never been KOd, but one solid shot can put anyone down.
Karo should fight serra after he loses since finch more then likely gets a title shot of course im sure matt hughes wants to wtf pwn serra as well.
GSP is an amazing talent and a fighter and does all of us Canadians proud and certainly my favorite.
That said I believe GSP certainly has the ability to avenge this loss to Serra. That being said Serra’s wit and wisdom -never- cease to make me laugh and you cannot help but like him.
While hes dead on about the lucky punch theory, the sun still does shine on every dogs ass once in while.
he won FAIR&SQUARE
I guess Gonzaga’s lucky kick wasn’t a lucky kick.
Hopefully Serra has enjoyed this time at the top. He will go down at the hands of GSP, hard I believe, and after he looses a couple more fights to top 5 guys, he will disappear. Buh-bye!
I like Serra! always have…I agree with everything he said.
There (imo) is no such thing as a “lucky punch”…When you attempt to punch someone, you are intending on hurting your opponant..
Serra is right’ He hurt GSP and went in for the kill…what is lucky about that???
People have to give credit where credit is due..And Matt Serra deserves ALOT of credit..I mean’ GSP/Serra was the biggest up-set in MMa history(imo)…I was rooting for Serra all through TUF.4 , But I NEVER thought he could beat GSP..And he did, so he gets respect for that..
He rocked GSP and instead of “admiring his punch” he went in for the kill….
Like I said I am a big Serra fan, BUT I am an even bigger GSP fan…So agian I will be rooting for GSP..but what Serra did will never be forgotten, nor will I think it was “lucky”…
Hope my boy GSP re-claims his gold…And then I want to see Serra fight Hughesus christ. so I can get back to rooting for Serra in a fight…
cant wait for the fight! hope serra wins aswell
Man I hope he wins this. He looked great in the last fight. So relaxed. I think if he goes in with the same mindset. I think he’ll do it. And as for luck, he’s completely right. If your aiming to do something, then you do it, its not luck.
I think he said there is no pressure 3 times in that quote. To me, that means he is feeling a lot of pressure. Everone was stunned after that first fight (even the Serra fans). Realistically, what are the chances of that happening twice? We will see GSP totally dominate this fight. Bet on it.
He is right tho… theres a TONNE of pressure on GSP and on top of everything the event is in MTL, and him being very weak mentially is really working to his disadvantage. As much as i want GSP to smoke serra i wont be suprised if this fight goes the distance.
Look at that picture of Serra… funny. He could definitely be the poster child for Fluke happenings.
[quote comment=”389368″]I guess Gonzaga’s lucky kick wasn’t a lucky kick.[/quote]
What was lucky about it? He tried to kick him in the head and KO him and he succeeded wheres the luck in that? I dont see where luck plays into it. Now if lets say GSP slipped in the ring lost his balance and then got hit THATS lucky. Theres no such thing as a lucky punch or kick its call capitalizing on an opportunity that is given to you and finishing the fight.
BTW, I honestly believe Serra will win. GSP is better in every facet of the MMA game with the exception of Ju Jitsu technique although Im sure GSP is a more athletic Ju Jitsu technician. But theres just something about the way GSP handled the last loss, I think Serra is in his head a bit and just like Serra said ALL the pressure is on GSP and Im a big believer that a man with nothing to loose is the most dangerous kind of man to fight.
[quote comment=”389323″]seems like him and georgie arnt as good of friends as they once were… funny that the only guy he could probably beat out of the top 5 welterweights is the guy at the top of the list…[/quote]
I guess GSP said something to the effect that he wasn’t all mentally there for that fight, which is common after the media asks a fighter a thousand times why they feel they lost, finally they feel they have to soul search and give an answer. Serra was very offended by that and things haven’t been the same since. GSP publicly retracted it and gave Serra full credit but things haven’t been the same since, Serra still has a chip on his shoulder.
That’s starting to bug me about Serra’ even though I still like the guy.
GSP in all likelyhood should beat Serra silly this time
lol @ mmamania : “”It’s hard to disagree with the statement above, which is not to say that Serra is going to win. He just makes a good point.”"
i wish allllll the GSP fans could have their webcams on so that I could record all them crying @ 83 as he wobbles down to the canvas (again) TIMBERRRRRRRRRR!!!! and quebec is stunned!! at loss for words!! (sound of crickets in the backround as GSP drops to his knees and bows down to Serra)
I remember Serra saying before their first fight how how the pressure is on GSP because he was the champ, and that this is his first title defense. All the pressure is on the champ! How the tables have turned in what he is saying nowadays. All this no pressure BS is just a little gimmick that (he seems) will cover his ass when he gets completely dominated. And then in the rubber-match (IF there ever is one, considering Serra should fall off the map fast) he will say something like what Hughes said. “I beat him once and I get to do it again.” Look what happened.

haha, that would be awesome! Too bad that cant be arranged, lmao.
If I were GSP I’d try a spinning back fist. He needs to utilize his jab this time. Last time his used it for a while and let Serra come in close.
Did anyone see GSP against Hughes ??? This man is freaky focused and is going to take Serra’s head off….Serra will be lucky to make it back home in one peice….he is outclassed and outskilled…and a loudmouth thats full of himself…the nerve of accusing Matt Hughes of the same
His statement is absoultely right but I still don’t think he will win the second fight. I think it’s one of those cases where GSP wins 8-10 times. The first fight just happened to be one of the 2 times that Serra could actually catch GSP with something and be able to capitalize on it.
[quote comment=”389368″]I guess Gonzaga’s lucky kick wasn’t a lucky kick.[/quote]
Most certainly was not as shown during his fight with couture, GG has very good high kicks, furthermore Crocop was alredy F&*^&*\ed up from a barrage of heavy elbows.
I’m canadian and will be cheering for GSP but if Serra wins good for him. I like this guy he speaks his mind and doesn’t sound like he is straight out of WWE in his interviews which is more than I can say about the majority of MMA fighters.
yeah keep yappin like a little annoying dog sera. you are just creating a big target for GSP to put his fist or foot.
Gsp was “arrogant” and destroyed hughes so easily nov 18 2006 he figured serra wouldn’t stand a chance(a conclusion you would come to if you watched hughes/gsp 2 then serra/lytle) and I think he was even trying to show off a bit but serra was a little sharper that night and embarrassed gsp. Yes serra had a perfect evening and it all started with a perfectly placed shot. Was serra “lucky” that night? IMO yes, because if they fought 10 times I doubt he’d hurt gsp in that way again but he did beat him fair and square and did look a little sharper than gsp before gsp got hurt. I think if gsp used the hughes/gsp 3 game plan or the koscheck/gsp gameplan he would have smoked serra, gsp’s wresling is much, much better than serra’s, as a wrestler gsp is a solid 9 and serra is maybe a 5 but a 9 with his bjj so he’d be much tougher on his back than koscheck or hughes but gsp would have handled him(see penn/gsp). I think bj penn is a solid 10 in MMA bjj, serra might be more decorated but penn uses it much better in MMA IMO.
One last thing I want to mention. If serra is a 9 in bjj I would give gsp an 8…but I actually think he’s better than serra is an MMA sense, just look at the way he handled hughes, I know hughes isn’t as good as serra but hughes “DESTROYED” Royce Gracie on the ground, a bjj legend. Gaining top position coupled with vastly superior strength goes a very long way, sorry serra fans but the terror is in for a long or possibly short night come april 19. Gsp will most likely submit serra come the later rounds, tiring him out or t(ko) him at some point, I know serra has punchers chance or a punchers chance at a submission but expect gsp to have his hand raised at the end of the evening.

What do you mean nothing to lose?? Doesn’t he hold the belt?
off the topic, can anyone tell me what’s the name of Tim Sylvia’s walking out song?
GSP fight in Quebec. If the skills differential is not enough for you guys, then just the fact that he fights in QC will surprise many of you guys.
Serra is OK, he did have a great night, but that’s not gonna happen again against GSP. And, above all, not in Quebec!
sorry, I meant “GSP fights”
To say that since he was aiming for Georges’s head, and he hit him there, it wasn’t luck….thats completely bogus. Serra’s response would answer claims that the punch was an accident, not that it was lucky. Even though he was aiming there, it still could have been luck. If Shaquille O’Neal were to step behind the three-point line and hit a game-winning three, then I guess that he wasn’t lucky because it was where he was aiming. BULLSHIT….thats luck. If I go golfing tomorrow and I hit a hole-in-one….it aint luck because I was aiming there. BULLSHIT….I was lucky. I don’t see how people read this and think Serra is correct with what he is saying. Think about it, it doesn’t make sense. I was throwing darts with my buddies the other day….and even though I’ve hit one double-bullseye in my life, I won the game by hitting just my second double-bullseye. Since I was aiming at it, it wasn’t luck?? LOL, ok? No, it was total luck, but it was no accident. Serra has one knockout in his career….ONE. Just one. For people to think his punch was anything other than luck, you’d be stupid. It wasn’t an accident, as he was aiming for GSP’s head….but it was lucky in that HOLY SHIT, he landed it for once. Think about it….

It’s just like Serra has. He wasnt even supposed to win the belt, and he did. He plans on leaving with the belt. But there is alot more pressure on GSP in this fight.
[quote comment=”389368″]I guess Gonzaga’s lucky kick wasn’t a lucky kick.[/quote]
no no no cmon you can’t take it away from the guy being a one kick wonder. GG is a total dissapointment just like CC
Serra had the night of his life no doubt about that, but good luck with trying to repeat that feet. I don’t dislike Serra but hope gsp wins. I don’t dislike Anderson Silva but I was hoping hendo beat him. Everything worked out beautifully for Serra, months of intense sparing, gsp was coming of an injury so he only had 2 weeks to train and was sub-par for the fight, I don’t know but to me thats kind of lucky. He’ll have NO luck April 19 you can guarantee that, gsp will most likely OVER estimate Serra this time be 110% better than he was with hughes and possibly really hurt him. Serra’s coming of a huge layoff and I really don’t know how he could train intensely coming off a serious injury, worse than St.Pierre’s. Serra is no hughes in the grappling department in MMA, he handled lytle quite handily, something serra couldn’t do. Saying serra is Gsp’s kryptonite is bordering on the ridiculous if you asked me, look at the big picture and take all variables into account. Yes serra did look a little better than gsp did before the big hit, but gsp has lost a round before and won the fight ex penn and koscheck(2 of the judges). Serra is a good fighter in my opinion and definitely a top 10, heres how I see things.
hughes vs gsp 1
wrestling 9 8
submissions 8 7
striking 6 8 close but hughes won with the submission
first fight Hughes s gsp 2
wrestling 8 9
submissions ? ?
striking 7 9 not close gsp owned hughes on the feet and ended with a perfect head kick and got the t(ko)but hughes looked better on his feet.
second fight serra vs lytle
wrestling 6 5
submissions 9 8
striking 6 9 lytle clearly had better hand and you could tell serra wanted no part of lytles hand and is slightly better at grappling than lytle but lytle is good enough to nullify serra’s attempts and serra won a boring split dec.
third fight gsp vs koscheck
wrestling 9 8
submissions 8 7
striking 8 7 Koscheck is good(above average but gsp is just to much for him, better in all area’s and gsp easily won the decision.
fourth fight serra vs gsp
wrestling ? ?
submissions ? ?
striking 7 6 Serra looked slightly better than gsp for the 3 minutes the fight lasted and landed the perfect hit, kept the pressure on gsp and over all had a perfect night, serra wins by t(ko)
fifth fight hughes vs gsp
wrestling 8 10
submissions 7 8
striking 6 8 Gsp looked scary good in this fight and you could tell he wanted to own hughes in the grappling department as he beat his last time standing, gsp answered all questions as to who’s the better grappler, gsp won easily by submission in the second round.
If gsp keeps improving he’ll be ridiculously hard to stop come april 19, and I highly doubt serra will be as good as he was last year, I hope I’m wrong because other wise its going to be a lame one sided fight, we’ll see.
suddenly serra thinks hes the best in the world but not to long ago he barely beat shonie carter in a rematch…
GSP Nuthuggers really love to take the focus off of the actual fight and emphasize fights from 3 years ago, or what they think will happen. Serra’s right- it’s as if the first fight never happened.
He’s a guess as to where each guy will be come april 19.
serra
wrestling 4
submissions 8
striking 6 He’s most likely be if worse shape than fighting lytle as he’s coming off an injury.
st.pierre
wrestling 9
submissions 9
striking 9 He’ll focus on submissions and striking for this fight and IMO there’s going to be a huge difference in there fighting ability for this fight. If there both like I say, its very unlikely to get out of the first round.

Karo already beat Serra.
Serra has nothing to lose? Does anyone really believe that?, EVERYONE is riding gsp’s sack, almost everyone, poor serra, he did win fair and square but he’s dreaming if he thinks that was a NORMAL, prepared, 100% gsp. IF serra loses badly everyone thinking his first fight was a fluke will just smile knowingly and gsp doubters will say “best out of 3 wins”, see penn fans. If its a normal night, both fighters well prepared it should last a little longer than the hughes/gsp 3 fight but not much, just because hughes sucks on his back and serra is comfortable there, but gsp win still win. Serra is more transparent than he realizes and is just trying to make himself feel better LOL.
Serra hurt his back fighting strong wrestlers getting ready for hughes, ouch, gsp is the best there is and will most likely really hurt serra this time.
Its too important for future fights, GSP has to win!!!! Its bigger than GSP, but he has to win for it all to matter the way it should (Penn fans know what im talking about) The best in the world has to be determined eventually and i feel that GSP should be in that conversation (as the guy who lost to BJ Penn for all the marbles, and when it mattered most) Honor is what its about and theres no honor in fighting the second rate, the pretty good, the guy with holes in his game. Complete fighters only!!!! Get ‘em GSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or you will already have lost the marbles that BJ Penn wants back.
I got to agree with the guy and on top of that I’m also a crazy guy that thinks he’ll win again. To be honest, during their first match he was dominating GSP, I think it could also be the size difference that gives him the advantage, Serra is much taller than GSP. On top of all of these he’s also a better speaker than GSP, kinda of like a white smaller version of rampage but less obnoxious. Anyways, I think he’d be a better champion than GSP so my vote is for him.

I don’t know what idiot calendar you’re using, but GSP won a clear decision over Kos 8 months ago, and tooled Hughes 3 months ago. Serra has done jack during that time. And it’s guys like you that don’t understand the difference between a great night (ie. Serra over GSP, Chonan over Anderson) and who the better fighter is. Was Chonan’s sub lucky? Hell no. Was Serra’s punch lucky? Hell no. Is Chonan better than Anderson? Hell no. Is Serra better than GSP? Hell no.
Guys like you have been popping up in every Serra thread. But once I make my point,I never get an intelligent reply.

Oh 2 fights I forget to mention
karo vs gsp
karo
wrestling 7
subissions 8
striking 7
gsp
wrestling 8
submissions 7
striking 8 gsp wins by close decision, he overpowered karo who was better at submissions but gsp is a better wrestler and was stronger so he got the dec.
penn vs gsp
penn
wrestling 8
submissions 10
striking 8
gsp
wrestling 9
submissions 8
striking 8 very close fight as you can see by my numbers, it could have gone either way, gsp was stronger and a better wrestler so he got the close split dec. Striking they were pretty even, gsp had better kicks and penn had the better hands. Gsp also had the superior cardio that evening but I think it was more he was just too strong for penn, like hughes, penn really needs to pack on more muscle if he wants to dominate the welter weights like the light weights.
OK here is the truth, I’m sick of all this talk, WATCH THE FIGHT AGAIN, he hits GSP in the back of the head…. BIG JOHN should have seen it and gave GSP time to recover, he didn’t, GSP was dazed and it was lights out from then, he DID not outstrike him like some people like to say.
Anyone who knos MMA knos that when you get hit in the back of the head you get some time to recover. I.E. BROCK LESNAR vs FRANK MIR.
Let Serra do all his talking, as far as I’m, concerned the ONLY chance he has is an illegal hit like the last fight.

Ummmmm, Penn fans can be GSP fans also bro. Its GSP fans that draw that line in the sand guy, when its all said and done Penn fans will smile and say i told you so to many many people. Its more of a sure thing than GSP beating down Serra this time around . . .
BTW … there is a TON of pressure on Serra too, he knos what everyone says about him. And he knos a loss and he drops to his normal I’d say rank 10 - 15 in the welterweight division.
It was a fluke.

It wasn’t a full hit to the back of the head, it was an unintentional swing that scraped gsp’s head. GSP was bringing his head down at the same time serra was throwing an overhand and it scraped gsp’s back of the head. That’s what happened, 1 it was not intentional, 2 it was not full contact, 3 I really can’t see it being stopped for that, sorry (and no, I’m not a noob).
If gsp and serra are in the shape I think there going to be it should be over in the first round. If serra is 100% it should go maybe 3 rounds but serra no matter how well prepared he if could keep up with gsp’s riddum, he get tired by the third round and like penn lose, but serra isn’t penn and will get t(ko)ed or submitted. There are SO many factors influencing a fight, no way any two fights will be the same, how in shape, prepared, even practicing in all areas, not neglecting one area(koscheck and hendo IMO) both these guys are arrogant with there wrestling ability which he HAVE to maintain to be at the same level, here’s how I saw the hendo vs silva fight
silva
wrestling 7
striking 10
submissions 9
hendo
wrestling 8
striking 8
submissions 7 Hendo’s only chance was to lay and pray like he did in round one, which he barely won, got impatient, underestimated silva like franklin and got t(ko)ed in the second. No one in MMA could stand the whole fight with silva, gsp very well prepared in striking “might” be able to beat him if he keeps things unpredictable, can’t see anyone else coming close.
I’d like to introduce a new term. Doing a “Serra”. Translation: Winning against all odds. Winning when you are not expected to. Winning Convincingly when you are the under dog.
I really like both guys and believe that they are great ambassadors for the sport. GSP is no doubt the 10 to 1 favourite but i’d LOVE to see Serra do it again. It would be one of the greatest efforts of all time and so dam funny too!!

If gsp fights silva like the koscheck/gsp fight he wins 9 out of 10 fights. If he fights like the serra/gsp fight he loses 9 out of 10 fights, its all about having the right strategy for the fight and jackson is a wizard.

Good luck with that, you’ll need it, you should win good money if serra can cash in on punchers chance again.
matt (the fluke)serra!sounds like he s trying to prove to himself he s not a fluke.FNNNNN FLUKE!
Nathan i know there are a lot of GSP fans and nutthuggers out there, but you go above and beyond the rest!!!! you should be proud. i got my favorite fighters just like everyone else but geeezzz. are you his brother or something? i will die laughing if Serra dusts him again. Im not even a big Serra fan i just like hearing all the BS excuses why he lost and how much more dominate and better than everyone else he is but still got ktfo. i kinda feel sorry for Serra this next time around, cuz after ko’s GSP again the crowd may swarm him and riot. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA..
Serra is a joke, he is going to get rocked…..its going to be a YEAR since his last fight, he just had surgery and gained all kinds of weight, Yeah he will cut and be ready, but thats just more work for him, Serra is not the same person he was when he fought GSP, bottom line………………and GSP is coming off 2 big wins and looks better then he ever has……I just cant see Serra coming out with a win…NO WAY!!
Enjoy ur last 3 weeks of fame. After that u can lose to hughes and then u can go back to being the middle of the road fighter that u are. I like Serra but Im just being real people.
[quote comment=”389568″][quote comment=”389532″]OK here is the truth, I’m sick of all this talk, WATCH THE FIGHT AGAIN, he hits GSP in the back of the head…. BIG JOHN should have seen it and gave GSP time to recover, he didn’t, GSP was dazed and it was lights out from then, he DID not outstrike him like some people like to say.
Anyone who knos MMA knos that when you get hit in the back of the head you get some time to recover. I.E. BROCK LESNAR vs FRANK MIR.
Let Serra do all his talking, as far as I’m, concerned the ONLY chance he has is an illegal hit like the last fight.[/quote]
Hah!! You’re kidding. Worst case of sour grapes i’ve ever heard. Suck it up brutha :-)[/quote]
Yes he did get hit in back of the head, but I don’t believe it’s illegal in standing position… at least I’ve never heard or seen it called, especially with a kick that lands in the neck/back of the head area.

WELL IF THATS TRUE! It’s GSP own fault for having poor head movement. he didnt hit him in the back of the head from over top of him or from his back, Serra threw a hook and GSP ducked into it standing toe to toe. so your BS theory is retarded
[quote comment=”389472″]To say that since he was aiming for Georges’s head, and he hit him there, it wasn’t luck….thats completely bogus. Serra’s response would answer claims that the punch was an accident, not that it was lucky. Even though he was aiming there, it still could have been luck. If Shaquille O’Neal were to step behind the three-point line and hit a game-winning three, then I guess that he wasn’t lucky because it was where he was aiming. BULLSHIT….thats luck. If I go golfing tomorrow and I hit a hole-in-one….it aint luck because I was aiming there. BULLSHIT….I was lucky. I don’t see how people read this and think Serra is correct with what he is saying. Think about it, it doesn’t make sense. I was throwing darts with my buddies the other day….and even though I’ve hit one double-bullseye in my life, I won the game by hitting just my second double-bullseye. Since I was aiming at it, it wasn’t luck?? LOL, ok? No, it was total luck, but it was no accident. Serra has one knockout in his career….ONE. Just one. For people to think his punch was anything other than luck, you’d be stupid. It wasn’t an accident, as he was aiming for GSP’s head….but it was lucky in that HOLY SHIT, he landed it for once. Think about it….[/quote]
Very nice analagoy cory.
