Prediction: wrong Penn   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

BJ Penn is better on the feet and on the ground. Diaz is younger, hungrier, and has better cardio. Both are tough as hell. This is gonna be a great fight!

Both sound like good fights to me because Diaz doesn't stand a chance at beating either of them :)

@darth is that because he'll feel bad for Diaz after he punishes him? If BJ takes this fight seriously which I think he will then he'll win.

Prediction: correct Diaz   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

nick diaz is at his peak and penn i believe is in decline. that fast knockout of hughes really proves nothing b/c kos did the same. diaz will win the standup battle with facial strikes and liver shots. that will take the heart out of penn. he won't be able to keep up the pace that diaz pushes.

I really like BJ and wouldn't be at all surprised if he pulls off a win but I really think Diaz takes this one. Diaz takes it in the 3rd and hopefully proves to some of the people around here that don't think he belongs in the top ten!!

As long as BJ can get inside the pocket I think he can take this via TKO or decision.

It won't be easy though.

Well Kos is sort of a bad ************ though. Kos would probably win against Dias too.

As long as Kos uses his takedowns, and doesn't just stand with Diaz, Koscheck probably wins that fight.

Yes. Kos would probably beat Diaz. You gotto remember that Diaz has been living in SF land where any top UFC fighter would look like a demi god.
Sanchez, Kos, Ellenberger, Fitch, and Condit would have been just as dominant as Diaz fighting the same competition.

@soccer, I agree with these guys. He'd probably be able to do to Diaz what he did to Daley.

Very hard fight to call. Will BJ show up in shape? Will he have the right gameplan? I think BJ takes this with ease if he uses the same gameplan he used on Fitch but if he shows up to scrap he'll get worn down by Diaz.

BJ Penn is going to knock Diaz the hell out.

I think Diaz will pick Penn apart on the feet and pull out a decision.
