St-Pierre ?Terror?ized by Serra, Loses Welter Crown

By Thomas Gerbasi

HOUSTON, April 7 ? Odds mean nothing. The past means nothing. In mixed martial arts, what matters is what happens when the bell rings. And when the bell rang at the Toyota Center tonight, Matt Serra came to fight. When you do that, good things can happen, and they did for the Long Island native, who stunned the mixed martial arts world with a first round TKO win over Georges St-Pierre to win the UFC Welterweight Championship in the UFC 69 main event tonight.

Serra had earned his title shot by winning season four of The Ultimate Fighter reality show. St-Pierre, in his first fight since taking the 170-pound title from Matt Hughes last November, was expected to roll over his challenger en route to bigger and better things.

No, but I must say, it's about frickin' time. They are going to have to start keeping up with it now. It's becoming far too popular for them to ignore. Hell, they show Hockey highlights. :biggrin:

No kidding. It was a bit awkward when they used mma "lingo", however. They were all " Sera gets into a ground and pound situation" then "when will Barry Bonds eclipse the most important record ever in the history of all sports"

LOL, I wish I would have seen that. I didn't watch the UFC event until today, but I watched the PRIDE last night at three in morning. It was a pretty good card. It is sad to see the original PRIDE go.
