UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra (right) lands a right hook on Georges St. Pierre (left) during their first encounter at UFC 69 in Feb. 2007. St. Pierre will have the chance to avenge his defeat to Serra Saturday night at UFC 83.After amassing a record of 15-2, defeating some of the top welterweights in the world, being billed by fans as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world and one of the key players in the UFC's future, George St. Pierre's future comes down to one fight: his rematch with UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra.
St. Pierre will have the opportunity to rectify the most recent blemish on his record when he faces Serra at UFC 83, Saturday, in an attempt to regain the UFC welterweight championship.
"I trained to fight an army, not a single person,” St. Pierre said. “I’ve been sparring every week with very high-caliber fighters. If an army can’t break me, one person can’t do it. I’m very well prepared. I’ve never been so sharp in my life.”
This is Serra's first defense of the title since capturing the belt from St. Pierre at UFC 69 in Feb. 2007, in what the UFC billed as the greatest upset in the promotion's history.
