For reclaiming the UFC’s welterweight championship belt in a re-match with Matt Serra in the main event of UFC 83. Serra had TKO’d the former champ months ago in a shocking upset coming off his victory on TUF. Leading up to the re-match this past Saturday, Serra, the champ was revered to be a severe underdog by many, but some thought he may have GSP’s “number”. Also, there were some rumblings that GSP did not have the mental toughness necessary to be a champion.
All doubt was put to rest by Georges St. Pierre in a dominating two round victory. GSP was in control for the entire fight with strikes, takedowns, and controlling the pace. It seemed Serra’s only chance in the fight was standing up, carrying his hands low trying to bait GSP in so he could deliver a KO blow similar to their first fight. Unfortunately for Serra, GSP’s attack was relentless and extremely effective. GSP included one of the most impressive combos ever seen involving a double left-right superman punch followed by side kick in his victory. Once again GSP is the UFC’s Welterweight champion, and with his tireless physical condition, athleticism and arsenal of MMA tools, it doesn’t look like he will be losing his belt again soon.
