After watching the GSP training video I don't think Serra can lose. GSP was lifting light weight. I weigh 150 and do more intense workouts than that. Go ahead and call me crazy but the man's skills are great and only getting better.
"After watching the GSP training video I don't think Serra can lose. GSP was lifting light weight. I weigh 150 and do more intense workouts than that."
OMG, you mean GSP was lifting light weights? What a dumbass.
BTW, someone posted the latest article with quotes from GSP's S&C coach, John Chaimberg, and he said that GSP finishes his circuit workouts with 120 lb dumbbells on bench press and does pullups with a 90 lb dumbbell hanging from his waist.....I'm pretty sure strength and stamina won't be a weakness. They never have been.
That would be fucking awesome if Matt beat GSP again!
Don't mean to be a party killer there sureshock but this topic has been beaten to death and with too many variations.
And the winner is...SERRA!
Hell freezes over
Highly doubt it happening again, GSP got over confident in his first fight.
He as since changed camps and begun training and preparing harder than
ever. He knows what to expect from Sera and knows what he needs to do
to control the fight.
Dude are you serious? Who cares if you weigh 150...He does that circuit 4 times, right? Do it with that weight, with his rest times and amount of reps and tell me it's still "light weights." Not to mention he does that same circuit a few times a day. In between training.... doubtful it can be compared to what you do for workouts. It's not lifting to get "huge." Going to muscle failure doesn't do much when you have to spar, wrestle, work bags, and do whatever cardio and other rolling GSP does several times a day.
Randy does the same kind of thing. I've seen people dog it to until they tried it and realized they can't even finish the first circuit.
LOL at GSP lifting "light weights" an indication of him losing.
"i'll do a little dance just like the 1st time"
Me too, but I think the accidental rabbit punch had a significant impact.
"Serra could beat him ten times and the neanderthals on this board would still insist that Pierre is somehow a better fighter despite the losses."
I could dunk on Kobe ten times in a row, too and people would still say he's better.
About the same chance of it happening, too.
Sad thing is even if GSP knocks Serra out in the first round, we have to be ready for a rubber match. No matter how much GSP manrapes Serra, you can bet UFC will do a best of 3...
i would love it if Serra KO's him again.
I actually think GSP could win this one in a fashion that makes a third match a hard sell.
But he's got to nip this one in the bud, and Serra is very tough to finish.
GSP's top game is top-notch right now. Should be a fun fight to watch while it lasts.
I hope GSP wins so Serra can finally fight Hughes.

I don't think so in this case. If Serra loses quickly, the UFC will IMMEDIATELY set up the Serra/Hughes grudge match. Only way we see a GSP/Serra 3 is if it is a close match that goes the distance.
The UFC has barely marketed Serra at all since he got hurt. They really want him out badly because GSP is much more marketable.

Agreed. That's why this fight puts a lot of pressure on Serra. Lose to GSP, and he has to face the music with Hughes. That's not a great matchup. Lose to Hughes, and Serra will be at the back of the pack in the most stacked division in the UFC, and not likely to be in title contention again anytime soon.
i cant wait till serra knocks gsps head off and makes him tap from strikes again.
"If Serra beats GSP again i'm done with MMA and this board. "
hold the front page!!
That would mean a second lucky punch.
"That would mean a second lucky punch."
yeha because serra hit gsp with one "lucky" punch. ummm idk when i watched the fight i thought i saw about 20 unanswered punches to the face and GSP tapping. he got beat up no luck involved.
Styles make fights. Matt is a bad style matchup for GSP. Serra wins again!!!!!!
