I think George should keep it on the feet because that is where he would probably have the most significant advantage.
Watch the first fight again man, Penn BATTERED Georges face. He really jacked him up on the feet. I dont see anywhere that GSP has an advantage. With that said, I dont think he is neccisarily outmatched in any area either. GSP has become a wrestle that possesses good striking. Penn has always had great standup and has insane take down defence and jitz.
Regardless of what anyone says, these guys a very evenly matched and it probably wont be a blowout for either side.
With that said, I think a BJ with cardio has just a bit more to bring to the table. I hope Penn lights him up in the standup and then chokes him out. But....like everyone says, it will probably end with a UD for one or the other. I'm excited either way.

gsp couldnt finish fitch he wont beat bj might give him a good fight but bjs hand will be raised at the end
Show some respect to Fitch, will ya? At this point, it's not about who GSP didn't finish. We all know he's capable of finishing top fighters. Fitch is a f'ing warrior and has NEVER been finished against top competition and you're making it sound like the only reason he lasted 5 rounds with GSP is because GSP couldn't finish him.
Give me a break.

Penns got this one. GSP's wrestleing and BJ's takedown defense and BJJ neutralize each other. If it comes down to stand up BJ can KO GSP and GSP cannot KO BJ. That's that.

...but he dropped him thrice and mangled him nice. Anyway, how nice is it if we get Rampage/Shogun and GSP/BJ on the same card. OOOOh weee. Maybe Silva too?

this fight will be another classic....the first fight was great....an argument could be made for either man on who won, but i think it came down to the last takedown gsp got on a worn out penn.....but at that time penn wasnt the "new motivated penn" he is now....if its a 5 rd fight, i think penn will have some troubles cuz moving up in weight while still mainting cardio will be tough...other than that, i see bj winning....gsp wont be able to control penn on the ground like he does others, his stand up i think will give penn fits...but i think once penn lands one of his combos it will change the course of the fight....i see a few scenarios....i dont see penn submitting gsp without rocking him on the feet first, i dont see a similar beatdown like he gave sherk, if he rocks him or ko's him it will be the one or two punch kind...and its highly possible, bjs boxing is very underated, now if he only believed in kicks :) ....or he eeks a decison...this is all based on a 3 rd fight....if its goes to a 5 rd fight and penn doenst finish gsp by the fourth rd, then he better have won the first 3 cuz rds 4 and 5 will be tough, gsp does not quit and keeps bringin it the whole fight.

This is such a tough fight to call its gonna be a classic for sure but as i mentionned before Penn Does not deserve to fight GSP right away he should fight a top contender before, since all you BJ nutthuggers think he's that great lets see if he can finish Fitch.

I think they're both better fighters now than they were the last time they fought.I think BJ is hungry to win this fight because he lost the last one.I highly doubt BJ will Gas for this fight..He hasnt gassed in his last 3 fights and finished all 3 of them.Howeever GSPs' wreslting and athleticism is beastly..Either way itll be a good fight..But m going with BJ it think he wants it more.

I don't think you can really say BJ wants it more. GSP always looks to destroy. Hunger is a non factor in this one IMO. It's gonna be a true test of skill. BTW does anyone know if this will be 3 or 5 rounds??

If its a title fight im sure it would be a 5 rounder.I say BJ wants it more because anytime you lose to someone to a split decision your going to want to come back harder the next time..Not taking anything away from GSP..i know he comes to destroy.But i think Bj wants this more thats all.
