Prediction: wrong Penn   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Well it's normal Anderson would be the bigger guy, it was normal when Penn went up for a super fight and it will be normal when Anderson fights JBJ.

What's not normal is the GSP talk that he can't return to WW after he goes up in weight (he walks around at 190 for christ's sake) if he does not want the fight he should just come out and say it.

I'm sick of all the talk about it, do it or don't, but be honest about it...

Everyone knows how much of a GSP fan I am but c'mon...he's definitely ducking Anderson.

Prediction: correct MacDonald   correct Decision  

I don't think it's fair to say he is ducking Anderson.  If he was avoiding fighting Nick Diaz or Hendricks, then yes he would be ducking fighters.  But St. Pierre is a welterweight, and he doesn't have to fight the middleweight champion if he doesn't want to.  Just like Anderson doesn't have to fight Jones if he doesn't want to.

I'd love to see him fight Anderson, but I'm not going to hold it against him if he doesn't want to do it.  

I agree that he should straight up say so if he doesn't want to fight him, though.  Everyone's on pins and needles, Georges!

Either rory absolutely demolishes or penn stuffs the takedowns and boxes rory up. Not sure if penn can handle the size or has the gas tank to keep a good pace up for 3 rounds. Going with rory on this one

I love BJ but I'd be shocked of he managed to avoid rorys td, but he might be able to scramble back up. Rory just seems like such a huge ass WW. Would be happier than he'll to see Penn pull it off though but I'd say its stacked against him

I am searching on youtube to find that Road to the Octagon interview with BJ.  It was so good!  Here is another interview.  Hope you enjoy it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTzDtQHVk_s

On another interview he said this interesting quote.

"as far as everyone keeps asking me, if I wanna go fight at 155 lbs., its uh, I think I get sucked down when I go to 55, you never say never what the future might hold, I don't know, I like how I feel right now.

He'll most likely have another fight after this one. I really hope we see the old, relentless BJ Penn that had the warrior spirit.

Few things undermine an aggressive, hungry spirit like success.  And the more it comes, the more thoroughly it undermines.

I actually don't give a damn how the fight turns out.  As long as Penn is healthy and not retired, that's all I care about.  That is the biggest issue of the night, not how the fight ends.

Can't decide which method Penn will choose to end the fight, pretty certain it happens in the first though.

Let's be real here, a motivated BJ could beat Uberreem in a K-1 match, Ali in boxing, Maia on the matt and Kobiyachi in a hot dog eating contest.

A hipster kid in his early 20's isn't a problem at all.

In all seriousness tho, I have to pick BJ...

Yea, I originally picked BJ just because I wanted it to be that way. But realize rory is the better fighter everywhere besides BJJ.. Rory is going to put on a brutal performance against penn here. Beat down of the year. 

In with the new and out with the old...
