Who would you like to see be the replacement for Rory in the Penn fight?  Sean Sherk, along with Jon Fitch, have jumped up and said they wanted to fight him next.  Who do you think would be a good match for BJ?

Holy ****! I completely forgot Sherk existed. To me though, hes now jsut become one of those guys that says he is going to return but probably never will.

Yeah I completely forgot about him too.  For a dude who hasn't fought in 2 years, and just springs up out of nowhere like that, haha.  Hell, who was the last person he fought anyway?

His last fight, was UFC 119, September 25, 2010.  He beat Evan Dunham by decision.  But I wouldn't mind seeing Penn-Sherk II.  36-4 record, only losses are BJ, Edgar, Rush, and Hughes.  Definitely would be a good fight.

@Justin, I remember watching that awesome fight vs Dunham but he said he was gonna be ready to fight months ago.

Sherk and BJ would be an interesting fight, but haven't they both said they want to wait for each other?  Or are we talking rhetorically here?  Or am I behind and they don't want to fight each other anymore?  Bah....

Pettis would be a good fight, and why in the hell is his KO on Smooth on the greatest Knockouts list?

@TinShadowcat  As of August 5, that was yesterday, Sunday, they were both still committed to fighting each other.

It appears that both Rory and BJ wish to reschedule their fight.  BJ was asking for UFC 153 in Rio on October 13, while Rory was asking fo UFC 154 on November 17 in Montreal, Canada.  

So, they both want to reschedule to fight each other, and Rory said he will keep on the VADA testing program too.

But speaking hypothetically, I want to see Rory fight everyone, but most particularly, Fitch, Sanchez and Diaz.  They would all be nights to remember.  

Hypothetically, I'd enjoy watching BJ fight Fitch rematch in 5 rounds, Shields, Koscheck, Condit, Alves, Erick Silva and Kampman.

I actually agree with what Penn said about a possible replacement. He came out of retirement for this fight, so it should be Rory or no one. They should just wait.

Anik, see belt color.

(1/2) The only reason I wanna fight @bjpenndotcom is to test my will and warrior spirit vs his. I'm not fighting for money! @UFC @danawhite

Siyar The Great ‏@SiyarTheGreat

(2/2) I'm willing to donate my fight purse to a charity to prove that it's not for financial reasons & will take VADA tests! @UFC @danawhite

I know he's still to be tested to fight someone of a stature like BJ, I'm not even a fan of either but you gotta respect his determination and his approach.

Not like other delusional fighters coming off a loss and still calling out GOATs at random in order to make a buck.... I'm not gonna name any Diaz..err.. i meann...

i actually met Sean Sherk at an amateur show a few weeks back...didn't ask him when he would fight again, probably should have. BJ/Pettis at 55 would be incredible, but i doubt that would happen.

I just want to see BJ stay on the card because I'm going to the event. I'd love to see Sherk/Penn more than any of the other fights mentioned, including Rory.
