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.

Matt Serra DID TKO Georges St. Pierre in their first matchup, but the questions are:

1. Did Matt Serra land a lucky punch? (or really, set of punches)
2. 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.
