BJ Penn

BJ Penn was absolutely dominating in his last fight against Sean Sherk. But what he did afterwards was a very interesting proposal. He called out George Saint Pierre (or GSP) and said he was going to whoop his a ss and take his title.

I love BJ Penn, but this is a very bold statement. George Saint Pierre is the champion at his weight, not some roided out so so fighter like Sean Sherk. BJ Penn has been on a complete dismantling tour unlike anybody else in the UFC, that is except George Saint Pierre

You forgot someone that has been on an EVEN BIGGER Tear than BJ and GSP

Silva

He is the one on the most DOminant tear in the UFC- or MMA at all since Fedor went to fighting people pulled out of the crowd it seems

Well im not clueless to the MMA world and i realize Silva has been ona tear, P4P he is the best fighter in the MMA world perhaps, but the point of this TD was to say that BJ Penn calling out GSP was a mistake becuase GSP is the better fighters out of the two and would beat BJ if and when they meet enxt in the octagon

Never said you were clueless- your statement was

"BJ Penn has been on a complete dismantling tour unlike anybody else in the UFC, that is except George Saint Pierre "

-- on that point I disagree

Now as far as BJ facing GSP-

Why not? BJ has been on a MONSTER tear and like CHuck Liddell- there really is no mountain to climb- but unlike Chuck- The Purchase of Pride did not bring Rampage to the US.

Who is left for BJ Right now? Anyone that is going to make him work? TO scare him? Keep in mind BJ is BETTER than he was when he fought Matt Hughes- BJ is not going to drop down to look at Faber- So up is his BEST option- even if he does NOT get the fight- its out there and gets us talking about him

More intrest

More Money

and GSP can get caught- and BJ has a better ground game than GSP-

"and GSP can get caught"

now as u and i both know, with teh talent it takes to get into the MMA world, anybody can be caught at any time.

The last time these two faced off GSP outlasted Penn and beat him and Penn's cardio was put into question. Now penn's cardio is far better than it was then, but GSP is a far better fighter than he was at that time also. The GSP that beat Penn thenw as also the GSP that was dominated by Matt Hughes and we seen how that turned out for Hughes the second time around. And by calling GSP out, Penn might have started a feud and fire within GSP that might not be able to be put out.

Penn was ahead in that fight- and has improved a GREAT deal since then- as had GSP but I think Penn has improved MORE

Penn is also on a good bit smaller frame than GSP- and GSP does not Chuck when it comes to the Sprawl either- Penn gets GSP on the groung 4-5 times in the match- and Penn is going to win going away unless GSP does some MAJOR damage on his feet.

GSP vs Hughes 1 and 2 were completely different fights- Matt seemed like he wanted to prove something with his standup in the rematch- and that was plain arrogance on his part- BJ is not ABOUT to change for GSP

I'm not saying BJ Will win- but after a few more fights beating everyone in front of him in 2 rounds or less-

Why Not?
