UFC83: Serra Vs GSP Main Event Preview

A lot of us have been waiting for UFC83 to happen. The Ultimate Fighter 6 promised us a fight between the two coaches. We were really psyched to see Matt Serra face one of the greatest welterweights of all time and finally Matt Serra and Matt Hughes will fight for the Championship... err oh yeah! Make that Matt Serra and Georges St-Pierre. When will *that* fight happen? Who knows. I just hope we don't get robbed out of a Forrest Griffin vs. Rampage fight too. For now, lets see what's going to happen April 19th. Holy smokes! That's tomorrow night. Whip out your credit cards and get your pay per view TV or Yahoo going. Or, if you're feeling really adventurous, make a run for North American Frenchyland in Montreal, Canada where this event is being held.
Matt Serra Vs. Georges St-Pierre figures to be the marquee matchup of the night. Of course, that's what we thought when GSP fought Hughes in UFC79. GSP completely discombobulated Hughes and we were all left wondering if that was the last we'd see of Hughes fighting in the Octagon. Serra missed that fight because of a back injury he received during training. I think we're going to see a replay of that fight except just plug in Serra for Hughes and watch GSP just demolish Serra with an array of ground and pound with an arm bar or rear naked choke for good measure. GSP will be crowned Champ and then we get our long awaited fight between the leftover shells of men that will be Serra and Hughes.

Travis Lutter Vs. Rich Franklin These two are both trying to shake recent losses to the same guy from their memories. Anderson Silva handed them both a big "L" in their fight record. I'm kind of on Franklin's side for this one since he fought more recently than Lutter in UFC77.

Nate Quarry Vs. Kalib Starnes I'm only able to give my thorough Newbie investigation results on this one: I just don't like the way Kalib looks! He's got a freaky wall-eye in his promo photo and "The Rock" just looks the part. Of course, Quarry's a cheap lousy ripoff of the *REAL* Rock but we'll see if we're going to smell what he's cooking!
