I would bet a lot of money that if BJ is getting his ass kicked he does something cheap like the eye poke in the first fight. BJ always punch with his thumbs out. He purposly goes for eyepokes

BJ is going to destroy him lol

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike GSP. Georges is a lot more athletic, obviously. But athleticism doesn't mean anything if the other guy has a better skill set than you do. But thats just my two cents. At least I know you aren't one of the many Penn haters on here. That alone makes you're arguments a lot more valid.

BJ actually clarified this. There was no eye poke. GSP is just making excuses.

While I'll awcknowledge that GSP himself is ALSO not the same fighter BJ fought all that time ago, I seriously doubt that you would say the same for BJ. And why would that be? Just admit it. Its ok. Your worried/nervous about this fight.

Not just worried, but trembling and sweating.

this fight is really close to call. i will say that i think bj is the better fighter, and the only reason i'd go with gsp is strength and size. that being said though, if bj looks like a 170lb version of the lean fighter he's been showing up at 155 his last few fights i'm picking him. i know everyone has extremely high hopes for how in shape he's going to show up but i'll believe it when i see it come weigh ins. i want to believe it though, war bj!

He didn't have to release his medical report though. Tom069 saw him at the LV airport.

Lets face it. GSP is bigger and stronger. BJ might be GSP on the feet but he won't stay of the feet if GSP tries to take him down.

lay and pray?

Really....

You do know what this means right???

GSP is always active on the ground....that kind of takes away from lay and pray...
