let’s not get carried away BJ, you guys are fighting for the bronze. the winner of GSP/Penn should be considered the 3rd best P4P fighter in the world.

HAHAHA thats funny. After winning a couple of fights 155 (Jens, Sherk, Joe Daddy) and beat a guy who you lost to recently makes you best p4p? Your record is 12-4, how could you merit a p4p number 1 spot? He has #1 P4P potential, but no work ethic. Win 7-8 fights in a row against top contenders, and then we will consider giving you spot over Fedor or Anderson.

The winner of this fight MUST be considered the best p4p fighter. They are the only two guys willing to put everything on the line against an opponent who is an equal. Fedor and Silva have yet to do that.

I enjoyed the interview. BJ was pretty respectful (for BJ). He does seem really focused. I like the point that Phil from Quebec City makes. The two of them are putting it on the line. It’s not to say that the others wouldn’t, but at least they’ve made it happen.

out of that entire 15 minute interview the only thing you heard was that one sentence . . . Just listen and learn something tools!

The main point is IF!Because he is not going to beat GSP,unless GSP comes in like he did against Serra the first time ,so i guess he is basically saying that he is going to lose to the best p4p fighter,but I would say that they are fighting for the number 3 spot,but after this fight is over I would like to see GSP move up to 185 and test his luck with Anderson.Then and only then would GSP have a right to that title.I don’t care what anybody thinks ,that would be very entertaining to watch

Also, GSP has redeemed all his losses; just like Fedor. I think GSP deserves to be in this P4P category moreso than BJ.

JB, THOSE WHERE LOSES IN THERE OWN WEIGHT CLASS. BJ HAS ONE LAST TO MACHIDA AT 205 LB.HOW MANY OF THOSE GUYS HAVE FOUGHT IN THREE WEIGHT DIVISIONS AND HAVE BEEN A CHAMP IN TWO. AND I HAVE TO SAY IT HE WASN’T TRAINING LIKE HE SHOULD MOST OF HIS CAREER.

bj already is top 3 p4p after he beats gsp i think he could have that #1 spot

Fedor is 28-1 his only loss was due to a cut and came back and TKO’d that guy. He has beaten big Nog, Cro Cop, Mark Coleman twice, Heath Herring, Kevin Randalman, Fujita, Tim Silvia in 36 seconds and 20 other guys. Fedor has also won almost all of them by submission only like 3 or 4 went the distance he he won all of the unaimously. Anderson Silva and Penn have quality wins but they also have 4 losses each.

Fedor is the best period.

HAHAHA Number 1 my ass!!! No way in hell his number 1…. thats what he thinks!!!! oh Well keep dreaming fat boy…. GSP will murder your ass coming dis January… Penn will get smashed by GSP…. no way in hell he can keep up with the Rush.. Haha that guy that was asking question dont know what his talkin about.. Rush All The WAY!!!!

Both have lost recently. At least Anderson’s losses were years ago and both of those were kind of BS. GSP got KTFO hard and BJ has lost a lot in proportion to how few fights he’s had.

People don’t seem to realize what pound for pound means, right off the bat, I’ll say flat out the heavy weight and light heavyweight division and middle weight division is lame in comparison to the welter weight and light weight division. Can you imagine a 5’8 silva or fedor fighting at 155?, I bet penn would destroy them and I bet gsp would lose too. I honestly believe the competition at all the classes above welter weight are weak, fedor has fought so many cans in his career and silva is the best striker period in mma and few really try to take him down. All things being equal the bigger fighter will win, at least most of the time. I think the pound for pound list is deceiving, like I said I believe middle to heavy weight division is weak and the welter weight to lightweight are stacked with some of the best pound for pound fighters in the world, which tends to screw up a good fighters resume.

Bj Penn is so funny.

I can’t wait for GSP to shut this guy up

I love these BJ/GSP threads…can we have an instant rematch???

GSP lost the stand up cuz he got poked in the eye early in the fight and took damage cuz of it, mainly to his nose…if that didn’t happen I think the stand up is a lot closer than people think. GSP has better wrestling and cardio..BJ is supposed to have better BJJ, but it wasn’t apparent in their first fight he didn’t even get close to a submission….doubt his BJJ will be a factor in this fight either since GSP has improved his BJJ a lot since they last fought….And about BJ’s comment on mounting GSP and taking his back….well he never got close to that in the first fight…don’t see how he would do it in this one….I think this fight will be a war, but GSP will win for sure….oh and I agree THIS fight is the biggest in UFC history…..SCREW the Couture vs. Lesnar fight (I will still watch it though!), the only reason he is fighting for a title is cuz of $$$$$$….Brock doesn’t deserve a shot, he dry humped Heath for 3 rounds…oh yeah and he landed one big right and that was about it…..that fight was boring

This is my pound for pound list if they weighed the same, meaning same weight with same body fat percentage.
 1.penn
 2.gsp
 3.fedor
 4.silva
  gsp would still be the most athletic and the best wrestler
  penn the hardest striker with his hands and by far the best grappler on the ground and on his back.
  fedor equally good in all areas and most well rounded.
  anderson the best striker all around.
  
 I believe anderson looks like such a monster at 185 because he is a huge 185 lbs fighter and walks around at 210 or more and is 6’2 with a huge reach advantage. His striking is extremely advanced and accurate he never wastes his shots, and to be frank the 185lb division sucks other than henderson. I still think a good wrestler with good striking and the same size as silva like fedor could beat him, but If fedor kept it standing silva would definitely win. Being the biggest gsp nut hugger around I also realize his only real advantage over penn in there first fight was strength and cardio. This up coming fight should be very interesting and with out a doubt will be the biggest test of each fighters careers, or will it, you never know with this sport gsp could kick penns ass or vice versa, anything can happen.

Like I said I’m a big gsp fan and hope he wins, and even if he does it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s pound for pound better than penn, gsp is an average middle weight and a large welter weight were penn is an average light weight. Same if gsp fought silva and lost it doesn’t mean silva is better pound for pound he out weights gsp by about 30Lbs like gsp out weights penn and is 4" taller than gsp, I think the odds would be definitely in andersons favor as he would have to take silva down for 5 rounds and there’s a very good chance of him getting caught in the stand up. To be honest I think alves is going to be the toughest test of gsps career if gsp gets past penn. Alves is huge and is a big middle weight, I really don’t know how he makes weight and his kicks and knees are brutal. I have no doubt gsp will have a great game plan and hope he wins but I know the fight could go either way, he really needs to up his mai thai as I’m sure he win, gsp needs to worry about his own division before he thinks about silva.

Do know anything about BJJ? Bj might not of been going for subs but totally tied up GSP on the ground, hence how little damage he suffered. While I think GSP won the last fight and respect him a great deal, I don’t think he’ll win this one.

Yes I do know a thing or two about BJJ parks1, I train under the Brazilian Top Team banner….tying up GSP and not taking damage doesn’t win a fight…this is not a grappling match, this is MMA….everyone talks about BJ’s BJJ like he submitted GSP or something…he didn’t, and he didn’t even get close to a submission…or taking his back or mounting him. You’re right about the damage part, but that is only one side of the coin. Judges don’t look at damage taken or damage avoided as part of the scoring…

If avoiding damage was a criteria for scoring, then why didn’t Kalib Starnes win against Nate Quarry? He did a good job of avoiding damage on the feet too by running away….LOL

To be honest I know what BJ is saying….a win against GSP means Penn just beat the best fighter in another weight class but Anderson or Fedor can’t say that becuase there is no 185 pound GSP or a heavyweight GSP. Not agreeing with him but an agrument can be made.

I love reading all the agruments—it just gets me more excited about the fight. I think after it’s said and done, BJ’ll earn the win. I just hope the fight lives up the hype…

Attention Everyone, This is the biggest fight in UFC history right here. Whoever win’s this bout will set up endless possiblities throughout both divisions. If GSP win’s then I see a potential showdown with Alves or quite possibly The Spider. We all know what a Mega fight that would between GSP and Silva. If Bj wins, then he becomes the only person in the UFC to hold 2 straps at one time. That sets up tons of match ups for Bj at 155 and at 170. If he does win then im sure his first title defence will be against Alves. I do not see them putting Bj against the Spider if he wins. No disrespect to Bj, i just dont think it will happen. Also it sets up plenty of 155 bouts with a possible rematch with Sherk or Daddy, or quite possibly a match with Florian. I’d love to see a Bj vs Sherk part 2, im sure alot of yall disagree, but i think that was a great fight, Penn def showed his world class striking against Sherk, but Sherk’s striking wasnt bad either. I really wanted too see it go to the 5th round. Bj got him with the knee and the rest is history. So yes this is the biggest fight in the UFC’s history, not only because of the match up, but also because of what it will unfold in the future for the UFC, after this fight is over with. Damn i feel like im typing a novel here, sorry guys/girls. Anyway my prediction for this fight is a very sound 2 round war, with it being razor thin, and in the 3rd round Bj trying to go for something out of the ordinary and getting caught with a solid shot to the side of his face, i dont know if its leg or punch and being rocked, not dropped but rocked, and GSP taking advantage of it, taking Bj to the ground, Bj giving his back and GSP with a RNC. Bj lovers im sure you will disagree, especially AdamG, but good luck to Bj and GSP. Hopefully its not a lackluster fight

LOL “see what had happend was” you must be the real nosterdumbass!!!! Are you psychic? I hope your prediction comes true gsp, choking out penn LOL I would laugh my ass off, I could just imagine the looks on not only the penn nut huggers face but pretty much everyone. I really would feel sorry for penn if that happened I think he would either commit suicide or the sport all together, the scenario did make me chuckle.

I agree with some who think Fedor ‘maybe’ top lbs for lbs. But not Silva. The only 2 top contenders he has beaten are Hendo and Franklin. Let’s face it the Middleweight division sucks.

BJ PENN wiil beat GSP & Kenny.
