vs





The rematch of the year is on at UFC 83 on Saturday April 19 in Montreal Canada with Georges St. Pierre (canadian) attempting to regain the Welterweight belt he lost to Matt Sera about a year ago. Were I a gambler, my money would be on GSP, despite the earlier loss. GSP was on a rampage through the welterweight class, demolishing anyone in his way until that surprising loss to Matt Sera.

GSP will be fighting in front of a home-town crowd in Montreal at the first UFC to be hosted in Canada. I think GSP will begin cautiously, as he did with BJ Penn, but I cannot see Matt Sera lasting 3 let alone 5 rounds in the cage with Georges. I give it to Georges in the 2nd round by tapout or submission. I'll post the results here immediately following the fight.

Other notable fights that night:

Rich Franklin vs Travis Lutter (I give this fight to Franklin after 3 rounds, despite his recent disappointments in losses to Anderson Silva)

Michael Bisping vs Charles McCarthy (Bisping by 2nd)
