“Terror” strikes George St Pierre in Houston
Matt Serra shocked the world of mixed martial arts Saturday night. In most people’s eyes, the Long Island New York native didn’t stand a snowballs chance in you know where of becoming the UFC Welterweight Champion. St. Pierre is a bigger, stronger and downright scarier fighter, but Serra scored a victory for underdogs everywhere, and he did it convincingly.
The Welterweight Champion came out confident, avoiding punches and throwing kicks. It seemed like everyone was just waiting for St. Pierre to land a powerful shot, put Serra on his back and pound his way to victory. I mean that’s the way we’d seen it so many times before with “Rush”, and this wasn’t even going to be a challenge.
Everyone who knows anything about MMA would have told you last week that this fight was just a workout for St Pierre before he took on a real contender for his title… The problem - no one told Matt Serra that he was a joke, that he was just supposed to lay down for the best welterweight fighter in the world.
Serra took the fight to George St. Pierre, constantly advancing and throwing punches until one hit it’s mark and shook the champion, Serra saw that he’d wounded his prey and went on the offensive landing an endless flurry of powerful punches. Serra ended St. Pierre’s night like “Rush” had ended many other’s nights, early and painfully, but don’t just take my word for it - watch it right here.
All right, the guys at youtube are pretty quick to delete a UFC pay-per-view match, so if you didn’t get it early it’s not here anymore but if you want to see it go to youtube and search for Matt Serra, I’m sure someone else has put the fight up by now and you’ll be able to catch it before it gets deleted again.

That fight was nuts. Serra got lucky, and that belt is only his ’til his next fight when he gets his face pounded in.
