Georges St. Pierre claimed the UFC welterweight champion Saturday Night after two-rounds of manhandling Matt Serra in Montreal.

At no point did I doubt St Pierre skill ... he earned the championship.  Pierre looked intense during the stare down, leaning toward Serra and placing their faces mere inches apart.  Once the horn sounded, he took the champ to the floor and there was very little Serra could do about it.  

From top position St. Pierre landed punches and knees to the body until Serra gave up his back and attempted to stand. St. Pierre held him down with elbows and Serra finally got to his feet.   St. Pierre took the New Yorker down again and hit him with hard knees to the body. Serra looked tired after the round while St. Pierre seemed energized. Round 2 started with St. Pierre catching a kick and taking the fight to the ground once again.   St. Pierre resumed a barrage of knees to the ribs and punches to the head that forced the referee to stop the fight with about 20 seconds left in the second round.

"My strategy was to make a physical fight, make him tired as much as I can because I know I have the athleticism," St. Pierre said after the fight. "So I was trying to mix as much as I could: up, down, up, down. Ground-and pound, not play jiu-jitsu game because jiu-jitsu, that's his strength. So that's how I won the fight: I tired him out and then I took the fight."

When St Pierre is on there is no one better.
