Matt Serra Before The UFC DEEPDIVE (ep. 71)

Matt "The Terror" Serra is a BJJ black belt under Renzo Gracie who went on to become a UFC' champion in the welterweight division. In this interview with former rival and friend Chris Lytle and his LytesOut team, Serra takes us back to his Long Island roots and talks about his rise in the fight game.
