it was non existant, the guy didn't amount any. this guy is a good fighter but i think yesterday showed that his win over gsp was a big time fluke. serra couldn't pull that off ever again. flame away.

You have to consider the lay-off Serra had from injury. Serra did well, but he did not look the same. Also, losing to GSP is no shame.

I don't think he ever had a chance to mount an offense, GSP was all over him and had it to the ground from the first second of round (not literally, figuratively) GSP is just the bigger, stronger fighter... but i personally think he wanted nothing to do with Serra's hands... so in that reguards, i still do not consider the first loss a Fluke. It is pretty disrespectful to say it was a fluke as well.. just my 2 cents

I think everyone needs to give it up on the whole fluke thing. The fact is GSP had a great game plan last night and he won that fight because he was the better fighter. Serra won fair and square the first time. Nine times out of ten I think GSP wins, but I think it is rather inappropriate to call Serra's win a fluke.

The fact that GSP was apprehensive to stand with Serra shows the first fight wasn’t a fluke.

He did mount some offense, but I guess it's hard to see that he was mounting an offense if you're not a BJJ guy.
