UFC 83 Prediction - Matt Serra Vs Georges St. Pierre
Our very first pick is in for UFC 83 Serra Vs St. Pierre 2! We have a long list of picks coming this time and we are still doing some good research and watching a bunch of past fights (as well as looking into recent training for each figher). Don’t forget to check out all the UFC 83 Betting Lines.
Matt Serra DID TKO Georges St. Pierre in their first matchup, but the questions are:
- Did Matt Serra land a lucky punch? (or really, set of punches)
- Is this the GSP of old or the newly re-invented GSP?
Well, if your memory doesn’t serve you well, you may want to take another look at the Serra Vs. GSP (UFC 69) fight:
Matt Serra is a heavy-handed hitter with excellent BJJ skills. Serra is an aggressive fighter and is never backpedaling during a fight, but always moving straight ahead.Georges St. Pierre is considered one of (if not THE) most athletic fighters in the UFC. He has excellent stand up skills and excellent kickboxing technique. He knows BJJ and surprisingly enough beat Matt Hughes by out wrestling him after training with the Canadian Olympic team.This is going to be a VERY interesting fight. This will NOT go to decision, of that I am confident. It will be a last man standing event here. Matt Serra is out to prove he deserved his win over GSP and GSP is out to prove it was a fluke. We KNOW that GSP has trained beyond typical standards and it seems that Serra has as well. GSP will keep this fight standing, IMO, because that was how he was beat the last time (somewhat like how he treated Hughes to his own medicine in their last fight). I don’t think this is going to work for him this time, though… This is a tough fight to call and you will be more than surprised that I am picking: SERRA BY TKO.

I think you are WAY off on this one! GSP is going to pick apart Serra pretty easily. Last fight only saw Serra with the win because GSP got caught, pure and simple. Everyone can get caught, it was his day. Doesn’t happen twice, though. GSP will take Serra down in the second round!

Serra is the biggest douche bag i’ve ever seen in MMA. He is bad for the sport and I hope GSP kicks his head clean off!

R.U. serious? Serra is gonna get whooped. No doubt about it. GSP isn’t taking this fight lightly and he’s gonna (as Ty put it) kick his head clean off.

Serra is going to win this fight. I have to agree with that. Why? ‘Cause there is no money betting on GSP
Seriously, though, GSP won’t take Serra to the ground because Serra could likely use his considerable BJJ skills to submit him. GSP will keep this standing and try to keep Serra an arms length away with his excellent striking ability. However - Serra doesn’t play that game. He is coming in as another spoiler and this time he is going to do it on the Canadian’s home turf.

I’m not sure that Serra is going to win, but I am betting on him! He is the good bet in this one since that’s where the money is AND he is a good choice for a spoiler. He’s done it once before, after all.

GSP by TKO, round 2!
Round 1: Great first round by GSP!!! Serra looked like crap that round mostly on his back with GSP on top with ease.
Round 2: GSP starts off on top once again overwhelming Serra. Serra looked good for a second on his feet until he dropped his hands for some reason allowing GSP to land some lightening quick jabs. Once again he ends up on his back eating fists and knees.
With about 30 seconds left in round 2, Serra, with no answer back to continuous knees has been ruled TKO!
