JensenS · 08-11-2008, 08:52 PM

After this past weekend, this looks like its going to be the fight we're going to get.

Have at it...

If its at the NYE show, Im there.

JensenS · 08-11-2008, 09:26 PM

If it goes, I'm sure it'll be on the card on 12/27 along with Nogueira/Mir

Zapp Brannigan · 08-11-2008, 09:27 PM

GSP by comfortable decision or late stoppage.

JensenS · 08-11-2008, 09:29 PM

I haven't thought about the fight enough to make a pick yet, but I don't really see either guy stopping the other one.

FightMetric's numbers on this bout the first go round.

Hasn't conditioning been a problem for BJ in the past.

Considering he will be going up a weight class for the fight, he just might come into the fight a little fat and out of shape.

GSP seems to be a cardio freak.

I give GSP a big advantage in the later rounds.

does anyone know where it will be held?

I know there are alot of BJ haters out there, but when he is in shape (Sherk fight was a good example) he does not have a weakness. He beat the piss out of GSP until he got tired (in their first fight). I know a lot has changed since that fight, but both have grown tremedously.
The only problem that BJ faces is GSP new found love to take people down. I know BJ has rgeat takedown defense, but not good enough to stop GSPs at this point. If GSP plays a safe game and takes him down over and over-he will win a decision.
Go BJ Penn-He would be the first guy to hold a belt at two different weight classes at the same time (as long as Anderson Silva does not get a light heavy weight title fight first-lol)

BJ Penn will push GSP to the brink. It will be all about mental toughness for GSP. Coulld St. Pierre have survived how Fitch did? Not a chance in hell. Watching Penn break GSP will be sweet.
