Serra did nothing, because Lytle just countered everything he tried and did nothing himself. If it was up to me, I would have called the match a draw and not given either of them a shot at the title or the money.
The best part of the show was the undercard. Din Thomas looked really good and moving down to 155, he instantly is in the title picture. If they're right about BJ Penn moving down there too, its gonna start to get crowded at 155. (especially when Serra has to move down)

I had it 29-28 to Lytle. What shocked me was 2 judges giving it 30-27 one way and the other 30-27 the other way. Still, UFC is not the only contact sport with inconsistent judging - boxing is as bad.
Din did look good but I think its probably quite easy to look good against Rich Clemente
You are right though, 155 may well be the division to watch in the coming months.
Can't say I'm too excited about the Tim Silva vs Snowman bout.
