Psychological edge between GSP and Penn..

If this is a "fail" question, I'll take all the heat and crow.. but I was debating with one of my friends about the many possibilites between these two. One interesting tidbit though.. who would come out last? Joe Rogan usually states whoever enters the octagon last, has the psychological advantage over the fighter. Who would you want to come out last and will it give a psychological advantage?

GSP's confidence will forever be a question. For BJ, his confidence will NEVER be a question.

To answer your question...GSP has the mental edge during training, but BJ has the mental edge during a fight.

If they're still both champs, GSP will come out last since his title is in a higher weight class.

BJ all the way. Look at what he did to GSP'S face. Nobody since has done that to GSP. Serra's win was a fluke. A split decision loss to GSP does not discourage BJ. It motivates him.

I guess it would depend on who the champ is and if there both champs the fight would obviouslly be at 170 (no way in hell Gsp makes 155) so most likely it would be GSP.

Champs come out last. Thats a perk of being champ.

So i guess they hold hands on the way to the ring.
