Props to Bloodyelbow.com for the find. GSP gives us step by step analysis of his loss to Serra. Man you can see the disgust and anger in St. Pierre's face watching that fight. Matt Serra also weighs-in on the loss and the upcoming fight, at one point asking Dana White not to dock his pay for disagreeing with White about GSP. Also in the last video Jason Macdonald discusses fighters being labeled as bar room brawlers.

1. Disgust and anger? I didn't get that at all.
2. Serra is obviously joking about pay dock.
3. McDonald didn't discuss anything. He stated he is a father. That's it.
.....If "GSP" come's out and totally dominate's "Terra" , and either submit's or ko's him we can all say we knew the first fight was a fluke and we were waiting for the real "GSP" ( As in the previous "MH" fight )to once again emerge . On the other-hand , if "Terra" once again lower's the over-hand boom on "GSP" , we will all have to give "Terra" the respect he absolutely deserve's , either-way it's a great match-up and is eagerly awaited ..... Look for "GSP" to enter the fight with bad intention's and try to put "Terra" away early..........Many-Thank's for this great "Blog" and "Kudo
s" to the hard-working poster's..........*CopperHead*
Fluke? I don't think so. Look, when Serra threw his punches, he was aiming to hit GSP's head. How is that a fluke? That's like saying "I tried to ride my bike and I did. What a fluke!". Please. He should have been given his dues 1 year ago when he stripped the world's #1 welterweight.
It more seemed like GSP was watching someone else. Sure he admitted to it but he had a half smile on his face, like he's completely accepted it and isn't worried about it.
Serra is sort of funny, he acts like no one else's opinion matters or counts and that it's all fluff etc, yet he lends credibility to it by talking about it all the time. The answer? He secretly likes it. This is exactly how he wants it: the guy that wasn't supposed to do it. The guy that beat up the golden boy of UFC. Love him or hate him, and we all do, I have a hard time not finding his act entertaining, as well as the way MMA responds to him.
Yeah, sorry amigo, but I didn't see disgust or anger either. GSP was just calling it blow by blow with a frenchman's half smile (or wherever the heck he's from) on his face.
Anyways, Serra's victory can in no way ever be called a fluke. We heard GSP say himself that he wasn't expecting Serra to stand and throw. So Serra went with the unexpected and it worked.
And the difference between many winners and losers is FINISHING the fight after landing a good shot. After Serra landed his big overhander, he followed up by staying right on GSP and landing the requisite number of highly accurate bombs in a very short period of time.
Bang, lights out... NO FLUKE.
Serra certainly earned his victory against GSP. But most feel it won't happen again. Most common prediction: GSP by submission second round.
