yeah i expected him to go right after the win over stevenson. but he is scheduled to fight at WW again. so we will have to see when he does go down. they are probably keeping him at WW for the moment to help stack that division

BJ Penn News From Guam!

I had heard this but never saw a source. Must be true though, excellent news!!

I was happy about Jens returning, but I was also let down a little because I really like to see gamers like Spencer Fisher succeed. Spencer has already said that he'd step aside to Jens shine b/c that’s the way of the Miletich family. But maybe it'll be like Dana said on TUF I...sometimes friends have to fight friends...

Indeed, UFC LW is going to be the weightclass to watch. War Franca and War Sherk! Although BJ might smash their dreams if he decides to actually dedicate himself to one weightclass for a change.

Yeah,

BJ's caught a lot of flack about his impulsive division jumping. I think if he stays between LW and WW, he'll be a dangerous threat for a long time.

add Ludwig and Thompson in there and it's kinda freaky

He's done so well against people heavier than him. He's gonna be the biggest threat to Sherk/Florian IMO.

There are so damn many good matchups the Ufc LW division has. Anyone notice that most of the LW's are good strikers? How about Bang? Any chance of seeing him in the Octagon again?

Damn I'm a slow typer. One finger. you beat me to Ludwig.

Who's gonna be the champion?????

Pulver = Never lost the belt
BJ = Sounds focused (we all know what happens when BJ's head is in it)
Sherk = GNP Machine
Florian = Underestimated threat with great BJJ
Melvin = Explosive
Fisher = Almost always brings his A game
I don't know much about Franca and Ruediger, but they seem to have great experience...

Then you can't completely count out the perennial threats like Edwards, Hominck, Stout, Stevenson, Grugel, et al...

Regardless of who wins the WW belt, it's gonna be hard to dominate with a div. that deep.

The question remains, who will be the champion of the LW div.???

You're right. I don't think that Sherk can get squirmy BJ under that jack hammer GNP and Florian’s greatest strength is his BJJ...well, BJ has better BJJ...
