GSP has had his troubles with the mental aspects of MMA.

First, he fought his idol Matt Hughes for the title at UFC 50. His troubles began when he couldn’t even look Matt Hughes in the eye as the referee began to go over the rules, and then made a mental error by over committing to a kimura that lead to the armbar that finished the fight.

After conquering his demons against Matt Hughes, he went into a fight that he was supposed to win against Matt Serra, his first title defense in what was supposed to be the beginning of a dominant title reign. Serra shocked the world by TKOing GSP, who afterwards blamed mental problems for the loss.

GSP has had a lot of trouble dealing with firsts and pressures. The big question will be: is GSP ready for the pressures of fighting in front of his home crowd against the man that not only dominated him, but humiliated him? He will again be going against someone who he will be favored to beat. We’ll see once and for all if GSP truly has become mentally strong, by beating Matt Serra in front of his home fans.
