Fight wasn't a fluke.
GSP didn't take into account that Serra could punch hard as fuck.

Or avoided them for four years, then returned as a middleweight.
GSP took into account that a wild exchange could leave him sleeping so he took the easiest path too victory.If it wasnt a fluke, how come he couldn't do it again and got dominated in the rematch? Plus it was the back of gsp head
How come JDS couldn't do it again twice? It was a fluke in the fact that, no one expected that.If it wasnt a fluke, how come he couldn't do it again and got dominated in the rematch? Plus it was the back of gsp head
That is exactly what I am saying about Bisping. They should fight twice.How did the rematch go? Anytime Gsp has lost he came back and destroyed the guy he lost to.

I think you may have taken this thread too personally as a GSP fan. There is no doubt about anything you posted, but this isn't a battle of "Who's better?" or "Who had the better career?" This thread only concerns UFC 69. No one is questioning GSP's greatness.Ok, so Serra was at his all-time best that round and GSP was really off his game. The rest of Serra's career absolutely pales to GSP. After winning the belt, Serra lost 3 of his final 4 fights, including his rematch to GSP.
Matt Serra vs GSP 1 was not a fluke.
Matt Serra was outstriking GSP before GSP got rocked by Serra's right. Serra was landing good punches (to the head and body) and leg kicks before hurting GSP with the right. Serra landed more significant strikes than GSP before he rocked GSP. Rewatch the fight and tell me I'm wrong.
http://m.espn.com/extra/mma/fightstatistics?fightId=151836
Serra landed a total of 20 significant strikes
GSP landed a total of 6 significant strikes.
Some people, especially GSP fans, say that the first fight was a fluke but the stats and strikes landed say otherwise.
Thoughts?
Bisping's chances of beating Rockhold in the rematch was even smaller.It was a fluke because Serra's odds of winning were astronomically small, and if given 100 chances, Serra would not be able to replicate this feat a significant number of times.
