Final Card for UFC 83: Serra vs St. Pierre 2 Set
|
The UFC is storming into Canada on April 19th, 2008 to host one of the most anticipated rematches in UFC history: Serra vs St. Pierre 2.
St. Pierre is largely considered to be one of the most well-rounded and talented fighters in the UFC, which is why it came as such a surprise when Matt "The Terror" Serra defeated St. Pierre one year ago to win the UFC Welterweight Championship. Serra was a heavy underdog in that fight and shocked pretty much everyone by defeating St. Pierre.
St. Pierre captured the "interim" Welterweight Championship by defeating Matt Hughes. Serra was originally supposed to face off against Hughes, but injured himself while training.
St. Pierre is a big -450 favorite to win this fight. There are several reasons for this, including:
1. The fight is being held in St. Pierre's backyard of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and that should give him an even bigger edge in this fight.
2. Many view Serra's original victory against St. Pierre as a fluke, and most would view St. Pierre as the much more potent fighter.
3. St. Pierre destroyed Matt Hughes at UFC 79 - Nemesis, and seems to be getting better with each passing fight.
4. Serra hasn't fought since April of 2007 due to injury, and many are wondering if he will suffer from excessive ring rust.
This should be a tremendous main event for an already stacked UFC 83 card. Here is the rest of the line-up for the event:
Travis Lutter vs Rich Franklin
Nate Quarry vs Kalib Starnes
Charles McCarthy vs Michael Bisping
Mark Bocek vs Mac Danzig
Joe Doerksen vs Jason MacDonald
Jason Day vs Alan Belcher
Rich Clementi vs Sam Stout
Kuniyoshi Hironaka vs Jonathan Goulet
We will have full betting odds for this event as UFC 83 draws closer.
