At UFC 69 on Pay Per View, Matt Serra shocked the world with his surprise victory over George “Rush” St. Pierre to take a slice of UFC Gold. If you were one of the hardcore MMA fans who couldn’t believe their eyes at the sight of Serra’s underdog triumph, then your world was turned upside down on Saturday night.

Zuffa put on UFC 70, from Manchester England, and for the first time in UFC history, a major event was televised free here in the States. The show was titled “Nations Collide” and pitted fighters representing different countries and cultures against one another.

There were some big names fighting - England’s own Michael “the Count” Bisping scored a victory to the delight of the fans. Andre “the Pitbull” Arlovski fought to an incredibly boring decision victory over Brazillian jui-jitsu expert Fabricio Werdum.

Four time Oklahoma State Wrestling Champion Matt Grice’s unbeaten streak came to an end when he was submitted by Liverpool native Terry Etim with a guillotine choke in the first round.

I found myself saying “no wonder Zuffa is televising this for free, there aside from the Bisping fight, there hasn’t been anything worth paying for on the card.” Trooper that I am, I hung in there for the last fight. Cro Cop - the most viscious striker of all time in the heavyweight division was going to beat the hell out of poor Gabriel Gonzaga, and that’s why we all tune in to MMA - to see someone get their a$$ kicked right?

The stage was set for Cro Cop to beat down Gonzaga and get his shot at Randy Couture’s UFC Heavyweight Title, most likely at UFC 72 a few months down the road. Since Zuffa signed on Cro Cop, the only question in the fan’s minds was “when is he going to take the heavyweight gold?”

Well it ain’t gonna be anytime soon. Gonzaga knocked Cro Cop out cold with a viscious kick to the head. It was one of the most wicked kicks I’ve seen in a long while. I had a vide on here this morning, but the friendly folks at Youtube saw fit to pull it, rendering my link useless. If you go to youtube and type in UFC 70, or Cro Cop vs. Gonzaga you should have no problem finding it, but let me warn you, it’s pretty nasty.

Needless to say I was glad I hung around until the bitter end. Two UFC events, two major upsets and UFC 71 coming right around the corner. I’m going to go out on a limb and predict Chuck “Iceman” Liddell will lose his Light-Heavyweight belt to Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 71, I know the UFC has been billing Liddell as the scariest light-heavy on the planet for a long time now, but with the way the last two main event’s have gone, my money is on “Rampage”

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.

UFC, MMA, knockout, George St. Pierre, Matt Serra, ultimate fighting

The time has come again for another jaunt into the world of MMA - UFC 69 “Shootout” is scheduled for Saturday April 7th. The card is full of potentially decent match-ups, but there are three bouts that could end up being wicked in turns of brutality.

The main event pits middleweight champion George “Rush” St Pierre against the Ultimate Fighter reality show winner Matt “the Terror” Serra. Any fight that St Pierre is involved in has the potential to be worth the price of admission alone. “Rush” is an icredible striker with both the hands and feet. Serra is going to be facing a whole different breed of fighter than he’s been accustomed to, I hope he’s done his homework and trained his a$$ off or he’ll be hitting the showers or the emergency room early.

Next on the list of potentially great fights would be another battle of 170 pounders: Diego “Nightmare” Sanches puts his undefeated record on the line against world class wrestler Josh Koscheck. Sanchez has been absolutely mowing down all the top middleweight fighters, but he could be in for a rude awakening against Koscheck. Josh has a ten and one record, and there aren’t many wrestlers in the game as good as “Kos”. The winner of this battle will be in line for a shot at the middleweight title.

Last but certainly not least on the “fights to watch” list is a little jump up in weight to the 185 lb class. Japanese ground and pound specialist Yushin Okami goes toe to toe with Mike “Quick” Swick. Okami, at twenty five years of age, already has an incredible 20-3 record in MMA, but Swick has the power to end a fight with one punch. Swick is known as “Quick” for a reason, he has some of the fastest victories in UFC history including a 22 second knockout of Gideon Ray.

Other fighters one the card that are always capable of putting on a show include: Roger “El Matador” Huerta, Heath “Texas Crazy Horse” Herring, and Marcus “The Irish Hand Grenade” Davis. You can see the rest of the line up here.

So lay down the loot on Saturday to watch UFC 69 on PPV, but go ahead and check out some free a$$ whooping here first courtesy of the headliner of UFC 69 George “Rush” St Pierre:
