Before shockers such as Ronda Rousey’s downfall at UFC 193 and McGregor’s 13-second knockout of long time champion Jose Also at UFC 194 ever happened, there was Matt Serra’s title win.

At UFC 69, Serra did the unthinkable and completely embarrassed Georges St-Pierre, claiming his coveted welterweight title.

Leading into the fight, Serra was one of the biggest underdogs the sport had known and to many; he was simply the sacrificial lamb against GSP. The upset stood as one of the most shocking for several years until stars like Rousey and Aldo met their decline.

Unfortunately for Serra, the high of the upset didn’t last long since GSP got an immediate shot at the title and avenged his loss with utmost certainty via a 2nd round TKO at UFC 83.
