We have a huge UFC card this weekend in Montreal, Canada. We're going to see the rematch of Matt Serra and Georges St. Pierre for the unification of the welterweight title. This one should be a doozy. Despite being the reigning champion, Matt Serra is the underdog in this fight again. GSP has been on a tear walking through Josh Koscheck and annihilating Matt Hughes. The question remains...who will win?
On one hand, GSP has never looked better. He is healthy and focused. He wants his belt back and won't let anything get in the way. He has a decent trainer and gameplanner and he has the eye of the tiger again. His first go-round with Matt Serra he probably took him a little lightly, and got his ass knocked out for it. I can assure you he will not take him lightly this time around and will be ready for whatever.
On the other hand, Matt Serra is the champ. I've never seen him get his ass kicked in a UFC fight and don't expect it to start now. He is a wizard on the ground and if GSP takes it there, he could be submitted. He's also dangerous standing up, considering he knocked out GSP the first time they fought. He likes being the underdog, and that is certainly what he is. We know he has what it takes to shock the world once, but it remains to be seen if he can do it again.
I see this fight being a standup battle. GSP will know not to go to the ground and his length advantage should keep Serra at bay. I expect a close decision victory for GSP in a five round war. Here are my predicks for the other fights...
Rich Franklin over Travis Lutter by TKO in the 2nd round
Michael Bisping over Charles McCarthy by TKO in the 1st round
Kalib Starnes over Nate Quarry by Unanimous Decision
Mac Danzig over Mark Bocek by Submission in the 2nd round
