It would be awsome if they did that.

By the way, it seems like Matt Hughes is going to be helping BJ prepare for Fitch. Definately can't hurt his chances any.

There's that always constant variable with BJ Penn, is he going to come out with that "look in his eye" like he did against Hughes the first and third times and like he did when he fought Sherk and Stevenson. Or is he going to look unmotivated like he did against Frankie. It seems to me that when BJ has that look in his eye he's unstoppable. I still think Fitch grinds him to a decision.

I think Fitch is going to be the bigger fighter and he will be able to take BJ down and keep him there. There's the chance that BJ can submit Fitch, but I find it highly unlikely. Fitch is a fighter who likes to grind fighters down on the ground, so he didn't get to 13 - 1 in the UFC without having great submission defence.
BJ looked good against Matt Hughes, but it was a 21 second fight and Matt Hughes is known as a slow starter so I'm not going to act like BJ is suddenly going to be a force at WW. If a fighter as small as Frankie Edgar was able to take down BJ like that, there's no doubt in my mind that fighters like Fitch can do it too. I really feel like BJ's going to have trouble with the elite WWs in the UFC.

and @lynxguy, i think frankie's speed and pace had more to do with his success against bj than anything else. Not to take anything away from frankie because he did make it his fight and he won both times, but i think bj is the more skilled fighter.

I can't see BJ winning this fight, Fitch is grinder and that's always been BJ's weakness. I think BJ will take round one with some effect boxing and TD defense, but he'll be too tired to withstand Fitch's grappling pace, strength, and cardio. I don't see Fitch becoming anymore exciting during fight either. This will be another big DEmotivator for Penn and who knows what comes next for him. The guy has lost twice two the WW and LW current champions and the last one too each champ was extremely decisive. Even if BJ would earn his shot, i would be completely uninterested a rematch with GSP and the only reason i'd watch it is for the joy of watching him get stomped again.

BJ is a legenday fighter but he's been flat lately save for a win over a washed up Matt Hughes. Fitch will show up, the only question is whether or not the real BJ will.
