Fight Analysis: This may well be the fight of the night. Matt Serra and Chris Lytle both have excellent submissions and both love to stand and trade punches. Serra is possibly (although not surely) the better submission guy, but it is so close that I do not see submission as the way to win this battle. Lytle has never been knocked out but has certainly been rocked a few times. Serra has tons of power in his hands but has to get close with the short reach and tends to let his hands go with recklessness. Lytle has power as well, but probably not enough to knock out Serra. This is a very tough pick, but I believe Serra will rock Lytle enough times to edge out a decision.

Prediction: Serra by decision.

Fight Analysis: With the first battle ending in a rear-naked choke by Chris Lytle, it will be interesting how this fight plays out. Matt Brown is, technically, the better boxer. However, Lytle has unbelievable power and will use it in this fight to knock out Matt Brown. I see this fight ending quickly with Brown on the canvas.

Prediction: Chris Lytle by TKO.
