Matt Serra: Al Iaquinta will 'shock the (expletive) world

[Wild]

Even if he doesn’t take home the belt, Serra said Iaquinta should be considered the best fighter in the lightweight division.

“If you beat the man, you’re the man, whether you have the strap around your waist or not,” Serra said. “A lot of guys wouldn’t take this fight, or they would make some crazy demands. ‘Ragin” Al is taking the fight against arguably the most dangerous 155-pounder on the planet. That alone makes me super proud. I wouldn’t be surprised if he shocks the world.”

That belt is worthless anyways, so he's right. If he wins, everyone will recognize him as top dog in the division.

 

[FadeToBlack]

Anything can happen, but Khabib is my #1 P4P. Al needs to knock him out.

 

[ECC170]

He's got a better chance than Max.

 

[kneeblock]

If anyone can do it, it's a Serra/Longo guy. It's what they do.

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

If Al wins he will spend his purse buying the whole Hotel instead of just a room.

 

[Pitbull9]

He's got a better chance than Max.

Agreed. His tdd is better and has KO power. He could catch khabib coming in. Khabib kind of runs forward sometimes.

Its more that he was already preparing to fight and actually fights in that weight class. Max hasnt been taken down in like 6 fights.

Bigger upset, Serra beating GSP or Al beating Khabib?

If Al wins he better face Tony for the belt

I might be crazy but I still have Tony as the top dog in the division

Did he just clock out from the insurance job?

Serra had alot of time to prepare only for GSP. The second fight didnt go too well for Matt.

I think so too. He can sting Khabib with his power. I dont think Max could do that.

I still think Serra deserved better discretion from the referee in that fight. Strictly speaking it wasn't an early stoppage but the champ should have been given more of a chance.
