The Prodigy: 'Penn vs St. Pierre 3' if you want to sell 40,000 tickets at the Aloha Stadium

STFU BJ!!!….why would you want that…if this happens before BJ has to fight real WW’s I’ll do something drastic

Yes it would sell but the outcome will be the same, GSP dominating!

bad marketing plan. defend your title or give it up.

Both fighters are the best in their weight classes (probably of all time) but Penn wasn’t competitive in the last fight…..what about Penn vs. Koshceck, or Fitch first?

Coming in with better conditioning should help BJ considerably for round 3 versus GSP.
I believe that was a big reason for his short fall in the last fight. The Prodigy is on a win streak with a full head of steam and mentally is at a higher level than before!
I can’t wait for this fight to happen, I’m going to fly to Oahu just for this bout.

I don’t know about that fight….even with technical superiority, I think Alves would be too strong for him.

gsp is getting so big that he might not have a choice but to move up to MW..bj is still relatively small for LW. bj has the skills but not the size. gsp is cutting alot of weight to make WW as it is..as a huge bj fan i’d like to see bj defeat gsp, mostly for the antics in the last two fights…i wont bring up the bj “excuses”. i’ll just sit back and watch bj beat some top WW and then i’ll hype it up with bjp/gsp 3..until then i guess i’d say its not the best time to try gsp.

now thats a fight!!!

Fight wont happen, GSP wont say yes to such a pointless matchup.

If you’re gonna post something after me and erase my fanshot, at least give me props. No need to erase my “hard work!” lol

not to say he should just be able to get it right away..i totally agree with warm up fights to it..but the money machine will make this “super fight” happen..and i’m soooo sick of the gsp greased crap..i hope they towel dry the hell outta georges between each round (if it goes more than a couple) just to shush the doubters..
though if bj gains weight properly and trains for real it will be a different fight..but i still see gsp with the W..bj’s boxing is no joke..so of course it goes with out saying he could hit the sleep button..and i would probably cry for real..that would suck!

Yea I think BJ vs. GSP would be huge in Honolulu. BJ would knock him out this time. His hands seem so much more faster now that he is in top shape. BJ Penn is lightning quick and I’m starting to buy into the Marinovich Bros methods. That and the fact that GSP wont be able to grease up this time too. That’s a fact.

I wanna see it just for the hell of it.

i would love to see gsp fight silva or any top mw, i haven’t seen anywhere that he has said he would do this.

All of a sudden, after beating Ken-Flo & Diego, you think his hands are so good that he can beat Georges…gimme a break. Lets not forget, he quit in the last fight. Beat 2 of the top WW’s in the division, then you’ve earned the right to have Georges brutalize you…again.

The Manchester crowd at UFC 105 got a chance to see welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre at the Fight Club Q & A, prior to the weigh-ins yesterday.

“Rush” commented on everything from his successful title defenses against B.J. Penn, Thiago Alves and Jon Fitch, to a potential super fight against middleweight champion Anderson Silva or even Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields.

“My toughest fight I think was against either Jon Fitch or Thiago Alves. Jon Fitch because he was very well-rounded and was the type of guy who you can try to finish him as much as you want, but he’s always going to come back. And Alves because he was a huge, huge welterweight. This guy walks around at 215. And when I fought him, I was walking around at 185.”

Size and weight was a focus for a large part of the Q & A session.

Since his last title defense against Alves — where GSP injured his groin that forced him to sit out the remainder of 2009 — St. Pierre has hired a nutritionist as part of his effort to bulk up. The move hints that a super fight against middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva might be on the horizon.

Star-divide

“I’m not afraid of nobody in the sport. I think everything is a question of time … From what I’ve heard now Anderson Silva wants to fight heavyweight or light heavyweight. He’s getting bigger. I’m getting bigger too, but he’s getting bigger. But maybe one day. Depending on the UFC, depending on what the public wants … one day, if there’s a possibility for a catchweight or something like that happens, then I am up for it.”

Of course the effort to bulk up might just be the welterweight champion’s strategy to compete against a younger crop of heavier and heavier welterweights.

“I think it’s a question of two things. The first, size, the weight. That’s physics … It’s proven that somebody with more weight behind the punch normally hits harder than someone who’s smaller. That’s physics. And of course the skill too. I do believe that skill always beats strength and always beats size. That’s a fact. I proved it in my last fight. I was smaller than my opponent and I did very well.”

St.Pierre says he used to walk around at between 185 – 187 even as recently as his last title defense, but today weighs 196. He says there is a limit, of course, to how much muscle mass he can put on, because he still has to be able to make the cut to 170 lbs. at weigh-ins.

While St. Pierre has been on the sidelines while the welterweight division figures out its next number contender, he hasn’t stopped training. He’s identifying areas he can continue to improve.

“There is no such thing as an invincible man. Everybody can lose, everybody is beaten, everybody can be beat.”

One area he admits he could improve is his Brazilian jiu-jitsu and admits he’d like the opportunity to test his skills against Jake Shields, although he thinks the Strikeforce middleweight champion’s jitz might be on another level. When asked if his jiu-jitsu is better than Shields, St. Pierre held nothing back.

“I don’t think so, and I’m total honest. If you put me in a grappling match with Jake Shields on the ground, he would probably beat me. If you put me in a mixed martial arts fight against Jake Shields, I’m confident that I might beat him. But there is only one way to find out.”

Prior to the UFC 105 weigh-ins, St. Pierre also told reporters that he’s eyeing a potential shot to join the Canadian Olympic wrestling team for the 2012 Summer Games, as reported by Slam! Sports.

“It’s something in my mind, but the thing is I’m on contract with the UFC … So I have to be very careful in what I’m saying, but we’ll see.”

UFC president Dana White, though, expressed his support for St. Pierre’s Olympic goals, saying, “It would be great if he won a medal.” White’s a master marketer for a reason — an Olympic wrestling medal for one of the faces of MMA only adds legitimacy on a global scale for the sport that’s not yet “mainstream.”

Still, St. Pierre, who routinely trains at the Montreal Wrestling Club against some of his country’s top amateurs, is realistic about his chances.

“There is a big difference between saying I want to go to the Olympic Games and actually going to the Olympic Games … It’s very hard. To do the tryouts and everything it’s very hard. You have to pass through a bunch of obstacles before you get there.” If he does make the team, St. Pierre plans to compete in the 84-kilogram class.

for either of these guys to fight. BJ would have some good fights at ww, and GSP would have some good fights at mw. They both need to go up and challenge themselves, problem is, only one of them is willing to do it.

Since the first 10 have only provided LHW title holders. Perhaps Fedor should cut down to 170 and challenge GSP!!!! Hey, someone else said that on this website so I can’t be too far off either…..maybe Couture can cut down to 170 and keep GSP penned up against the fence for a full 25 minute match. THAT WOULD BE EXCITING!!!!!!!

Hughes 3 should be at Aloha for sure, fuckin no brainer. GSP 3 either shouldnt happen at all OR not for at least 2 more years while BJ makes his adjustment CORRECTLY to WLWT any other way is retarded (this is coming from a guy that wants both of these fights pretty bad) a rematch with Renzo or Serra would be nice at 170 if Renzo or Serra want to persue it. Fitch, Alves, Kos or Thiago would be top tear right now at 170 so one or more fights with them are eventual obvious choices to be a number 1er in the weight class. As for his next fight, i say Penn/Griffin most likely after Guida was stopped. Penn can use this fight as his transission to 170 as he should continue to put on weight aggressively to easily overcome his last contender at 155 and not yet relinquish the 155 strap but fight Hughes3 to test the waters at 170 an reenter the weight class with some authority if nothing else, at Aloha late 2010. Things go well, ditch the 155 strap for a commitment to 170, Kos/Fitch/Alves/Thiago next. gsp if he earns it with W’s, if he loses the 3rd with george and george isnt moving moving up to 185 by then, bj should move back down to an evolved 155 class if his body can still make the weight.

It sounds like a lot of people don’t want to see this fight. That’s crazy, Bj fans should want the rematch and GSP should want to shut him up again. I don’t see why people don’t want this fight.

With BJ being on a dominate streak lately, i think this would be worthy of a good fight.

CUZ there is no way in hell that Jake Shields could beat St. pierre in any type of combat sport including BJJ….
St. pierre would out muscle that dude easily..
