BJ looked like he was already in the head of GSP. At the end of the night when he was in the ring asking for the fight with Rush, GSP sounded like he was pressured and uncomfortable with the confrontation with BJ.

I’m sure the UFC set up the confrontation between GSP and BJ for ratings and drama, but BJ took full advantage of it and looks like he has already started playing his head games.

I can't believe I'll be picking BJ but I will, and I hope it's a title fight as well AS LONG AS BJ agrees to defend each 2 times a year, that's a lot of fighting but if you want 2 belts that what you should do. Barring injury 4 fights a year is doable, one every 3 months.

I agree...BJ's cardio has improved, but I think 5 rounds may be a bit much for him against someone with the stamina of GSP. I would give a 3 round fight to BJ though.

Why would Bj be in the head of GSP? GSP has already beaten him. Controversial or not the victory is on his record. The UFC marketing machine probably tells BJ to rush the into the stage and puts Georges on the spot after going five round. Everyone knows it's going to happen. Decembers card should be ridiculous. I can't wait to see GSP beat BJ again. If Georges wins and Bj is bleeding GSP should lick his blood of his gloves. He wouldn't though because GSP is a class fighter and simply put BJ isn't.

GSP wasn't uncomfortable with Penn wanting a fight...he was just in a five round war and you expect him to speak normally after exerting all of that energy. Not to mention the fact that English is his second language so him being tired and searching for the right words to say in english can not be easy.

If BJ can prevent the takedown for a couple of rounds then he has chance for a TKO with his superior striking but if he starts getting gassed early then GSP is going to get the UD or a possible late 4th or 5th round TKO.

But wouldnt it be amazing if GSP submitted BJ? not ever going to happen but i think that would shoot GSP up to #1 P4P

Of course it was set up by the UFC. Penn was in the ring less than one second after GSP said his name. Either way, Penn is going to KO GSP. I don't think he's in GSP's head I just think his takedown defense and power are GSPs kryptonite. He's just gonna whup his ass.

BJ looked like he wanted to fight right there, he was pumped and that spells trouble for GSP, I got Penn by SUB. in the 3rd or 4th

Since when does BJ have superior striking skills to GSP? Just wondering if I missed some past fights where BJ showed he was a better striker than GSP? I don't think that BJ has it in him to match GSP's pace for 5 rounds of war. His best bet would try and submit him...anything can happen though in a fight.
