Serra, who hosts the UFC Unfiltered podcast with comedian Jim Norton every week, is a former winner of season four of The Ultimate Fighter and is most well-known as the fighter with possibly the biggest upset in UFC history, as he knocked out Georges “Rush” St-Pierre at UFC 69 in 2007 to become the UFC Welterweight Champion.
Well deserved.
