Penn is the most marketable fighter for that division... Stevenson IS like a 155lb Matt Hughes only stronger pound for pound in my opinion and this is DEFINATELY the fight to see, I mean as far as tests go, who would you rather say you beat for the title, BJ FREAKING PENN or Joe Smuck Duck? PENN/Stevenson is the best matchup in my book as well, I know that most of the guys who don't like Penn are more angry that he will win the title, so they are crying "it's not fair, whahhh boo hoo".. . lol Couture didn't deserve Tim either, ohh thats right, HE DID I GUESS NOW THAT WE SEE HE IS ON A ROLL EHHH? Penn will win somehow and be the dominant face of the 155, and very rich I might add as well...

There are a lot of good matchups that the UFC has choice of. Joe Daddy has to be one of the front runners in my opinion also. Huerta, Guida, Tyson Griffin, Florian all seem like contenders also so we'll have to wait and see what happens. The light weights are getting their respect now finally.

Kenny already had his shot, and he lost to Sherk, roids or not, they should put the 2 best fighters in contention for the title in my opinion. These automatic title shots might not be fair to everyone, but theyre the big money fights, and really, the fights we want to see.

That is disrespectful to guys trying to put some wins together. This started at the last UFC when someone said Henderson should move down to 185lbs to fight Anderson for the belt. I still think Florian is right in there, especially after this whole Sherk shadiness. I'd like to see Huerta get some action against Lauzon or Spencer Fisher. A Florian/ Stevenson fight would be good as many other matchups. I think BJ should still have to prove himself in this division. I agree that BJ should NOT get an immediate title shot.
