This is the tale of a "little man," by height he was not blessed,
Life did not go the way he planned, that was to be his test.
He found his joy in teaching others martial arts;
Being a mentor to his students was closest to his heart.
Along the way he met his wife—a real Italian girl,
Ann was to be his greatest prize, and set his heart a whirl.
He fought one day and beat a man, a proud Canadian
Who was the UFC Welterweight champ who'd beaten many men.
But on that April 7th night in the year 2007,
Matt Serra was the fighter who was surely blessed by heaven;
He had overcome tremendous odds and yet,
Very few who viewed the event were pleased by the upset.
"A fluke" they cried, and booed at him, "It was just a lucky punch!"
No bets were placed on him because no one had a hunch.
No respect, for all looked down on him, well shame on all of them!
He had won the fight and proven that God loved this 'little man!'
