No reason not to admit all these years later. Currently, fighters cite injuries that hampered them in a loss even during the post fight press conference. Matt was being a class act.

Any mature adult knows making up excuses only makes you look even worse, even if the excuse was legit. Much better to just take the L and swallow your pride. It's funny how many fighters I couldn't stand because of how the UFC presented them only to find out they're amazing people when I hear them talk. Serra being one of them.

[@user-pl2pl9po9c]

I met Matt at Disney world on a family vacation, he was the coolest guy ever! All I did was say “hey I loved watching your fights” and started to walk away. He called me back and asked if my family and I wanted a picture. Very cool guy.

Matt went 8 wins, 7 losses in UFC competition, and when you look at who he fought, that's damn impressive. He fought THE MURDERER'S ROW of the UFC: George St. Pierre TWICE, Matt Hughes, Karo Parisyan, BJ Penn, Chris Lytle, etc. It's amazing he's mentally and physically together at age 49 after confronting THAT level of physical abuse in his career.

[@jonhall2274]

I wouldn't be surprised if majority of people who watch JRE and think most UFC viewers today are mainly post Brock (with ofc huge influx from conor). So I doubt most recognize any of those names, besides maybe GSP, Hughes, ans BJ, haha!(I recognize all of them as I started watching MMA right before PRIDE ended, and GSP was my favorite fighter, glad to see GSP reached MMA GOAT status, or minimum #1-3 😁)

I watched both fights with GSP live (pay per view, that is) and still remember the shock of Matt's first victory. But that 2nd fight in Montreal? Man, that was crazy. The energy in that place was off the hook. GSP came in to some French rapper music which was lit. He was so focused and on point in that fight. Beautiful performance.

[@surgesurge6302]

That was also probably the best version of GSP ever! His prime! 🇨🇦

[@MMAFreakofNature]

Absolutely best version of GSP. No one could beat him that night. Dude was an absolute animal with textbook technique

[@porridgesilt]

I was lucky enough to witness that second fight live. Flew overnight from Vancouver to Montreal, met up with my brother (who had flown in from Saskatchewan), went to the fight that night, and flew home the next morning. Not even 24 hours in Montreal but every minute was memorable. You’re right, the arena was absolutely electric that whole night and when GSP came out, the crowd went bonkers. After the victory it was pure mayhem! I’ll always remember taking the subway back to the hotel after the event and it was packed with fired up fans cheering and chanting at the tops of their lungs. Incredible time. GSP won his title back that night and never officially lost another match again. 👊🏼

I remember Matt Serra saying after he beat GSP that he had already beat one future HOFer (Matt Hughes if I remember right) and he thought GSP was gonna be a HOFer too and he was proud of that. Even in the biggest moment of his life he was honest with himself and what happened while giving his opponent respect. I think he knew he got "lucky" (it's not really luck, but you know what I mean) and was probably gonna lose the rematch. Awesome guy with a great nickname, seems like a humble and genuine person, nothing but respect for this monster, or Terra if you will. Edit: He didn't beat Hughes, not sure what I'm thinking.

[@skidemn]

I was cageside at this fight shooting photos for a media outlet, and I remember the moment Matt tagged Georges and staggered him. None of us who followed the sport expected Matt to throw hands like that, much less connect like that against the champ. I was stationed on the side of the cage next to Matt’s team and the moment Georges tapped, I clearly remember pulling my camera down and looking at over at Matt’s cornermen who were looking left and right in clear disbelief, locked eyes with me and we all were mouthing “holy $#;+” to each other. It was an amazing moment and likely the greatest underdog winning moment I’ve ever been a part of! Matt is truly a class act, as is Georges, and at that moment I remember being so incredibly happy for him! I have a lot of great memories from shooting UFC events, but the two where I remember being the most happy for the victor are this fight and UFC68, when Randy Couture came back to the UFC and beat down Tim Sylvia for the heavyweight title.
