Wow. Just wow.

BJ's boxing is on another level and GSP has a habit of telegraphing kicks. GSP is stronger, more explosive, and a better wrestler...but his striking is not better just because he uses kicks.

I want BJ to win quite badly but I'm taking GSP by 5-round lay n pray.

I want to proclaim to the world (even though no one asked me) that I lost to Matt Hughes because I injured myself and here is the medical report to prove it. See world...I am still the better fighter.

A, you made up the last part, B, it was true. Dumbing down would be to put your fingers in your ears, as you seem to want everyone to do, when looking back at a fight.

i'm excited about this fight, and will be happy with whomever wins; but BJ didn't look like he does now the last time he was competing at WW. sure the first fight with GSP was close, and we can argue about his rib injury before he was put away by Hughes, but until BJ can show the level of dominance at WW as he does at LW, it is hard for me to see him getting a win here.
“I talked to Freddie Roach about B.J. last week and he told me by far…he said by far B.J. Penn is the best striker he’s ever seen among MMA fighters and he thinks that if B.J. can get into a striking match with GSP, he would definitely win that.”
-Kevin Iole

Freddie Roach, “B.J. Penn is by far the best striker in MMA” |

if freddie roach is that confident in bj's striking being superior to gsp's i'd say we can probably take him at his word.
