With St.Pierre's performance the freshest in my mind, and really more impressive than BJ's, I might say, in May against Sherk. Technically, we know what Penn is capable of, but he had a jab that didn't miss, and a robot in Sean who kept walking into it. Anyways, I can't take anything away from GSP's finishing ability because Jon Fitch is tough, as nails. I do believe Rush is more improved than the Prodigy, from when they last fought.
But, this is a fight, and BJ is a more scrappy, true to the word, fighter. St.Pierre was blessed, and nurtured into this fight game. BJ was highly touted, and came into his fights known as the superior skilled opponent more times than none, but he also has always displayed a, a killer instinct if you will, and I like that more than flashy moves.
If BJ can hurt Pierre before the 3rd, than I believe Penn will finish him, sub or TKO. If it goes the distance, I see Rush pulling out another close decision. Fight of the Year nominee before it even happens

Assuming it's a 5 round fight, which I believe it needs to be. They're both champions, but obviously if BJ wins, he'll want the WW belt,too. Hell, he'll start calling out the division if he wins. Now, if GSP wins, he won't nothing to do with the LW division. So, I don't know. It would be "uncivilized" to not have it 5 rounds...

i am going with a GSP TKO . i dont think that BJ could have taken half of what Fitch endured on Sat. That man is a true warrior with a granite chin. GSP is a lot bigger now and BJ is just a bit to cocky. I cant wait until it goes down. I dont like the Title talk but how else does it go down?

I don't care how much better BJ's cardio is, it's stil nowhere near the level GSP's is and this will make the difference.
