great.. hope this happens I want to see St. Pierre fighting Penn… it makes sense because I thought their previous fight was split for Penn but the judges split for Pierre.. I think if they fight again.. whoa.. gonna be great because they have both hit their sealing peak

Kansas alot of people thought BJ won, i think GSP just knew the UFC judging criteria a little better at that point in time. He worked the takedowns and stole the fight by the skin of his teeth, i mean ya GSP won the decision but look at his face, BJ whooped his azzz man.

I think BJ would win this time, hes refocused on fighting he cutting down on the double cheeseburgers hehe and hes determined to be the best. I never got off the BJ bandwagon and i never will the guys a superstar.

I think Rampage takes the fight by Knockout.. he has heart too.. gosh it took Wandy beating himself tired to whip Jackson so I don’t see Forrest getting this one done.. at all..

This ones to close to call. I love both these guys and the winner will be us the fans. They are both at the top of their game mentally and physically so it’s a toss up. GSP will be a little bigger but that didn’t matter last time. BJ out boxed him and bloodied him up. GSP’s wrestling is super now but playing with BJ on the mat is dangerous. I honestly don’t know who to root for.

Comment by R.J. St.Croix about 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Did you see GSPs face last time Patrick? GSP won the points but he caught a beatdown. Now they both improved since the last fight and like Kansas said, its gonna be a great. Ofcourse GSP has the advantage because BJ is moving up but im hoping BJ pulls out the upset. Im with BJ.

Comment by R.J. St.Croix about 4 months, 2 weeks ago

GSP did take an asss whoopin in the last one, but i just see a bigger, stronger, more improved, aggressive St.Pierre running game on Penn. if St.Pierre comes out like the savage hes been lately i dont think BJ will be able to hang with him for long. i was really hoping to see a ground war between BJ and Sherk to get a better idea about Penns real cardio but he kinda just out boxed a midget (not to take anything away from the win, it just didnt show if BJ can make it through a war) i know BJ has this new outlook on fighting and training but i think hes jumping the gun here. spend another year destroying people at lightweight and working your cardio aspect then move to welter or what ever and start taking people apart. just my thoughts on it.

Firstly RJ LOLOL he out boxed a midget, i died laughing when i read that.

But ya i agree that its probably a bit too soon and theres still alot of guys for BJ to beat up at LW. Ofcourse maybe if they try and book it for december and it falls through then they both end up fighting someone else. Then theyre not gonna fight for another 6 months after that, so assuming this hapens a year or more from now, the timing might be right, but who knows what could happen in that time…

I agree bv.. BJ would win.. he’s better on the ground, and he has the stand up to neutralize Pierre.. I think Rush would get beaten badly in a 5 rounder man.. gosh thats too much time for Penn to just beat on him..
