Now they’re about to do it again. But this time, there’s much more at stake. UFC® lightweight champion BJ Penn looks to be the first fighter in history to hold two UFC® championships at the same time when he faces Georges St-Pierre for the UFC® welterweight championship at

Honestly the only two fights I'm looking forward to on this card are Bonar vs jones and the highly anticipated GSP vs BJP in which i see GSP coming ot on top

I'm surprised actually. This all card looks great imo. Diaz vs Guida, Machida vs Silva and Fitch vs Gono should all be great fights.

Its a solid card. Its top-heavy, in that there are a not a lot of big names on the card beyond the main event. But some of the fights should be pretty solid.

I'm obviously looking forward to GSP-Penn, but I can't get truly hyped for it. I realize its a super-fight that's one of the best fights the UFC can put on right now, but I can't look past the fact that its a fight that's happened before and Penn is not a natural Welterweight. You can argue they aren't the same fighters they were last time, etc etc, but I really look at the fight and feel that Penn is really the only one with something to gain. How much does it really to St. Pierre's resume or legacy (or whatever) if he beats Penn again? Sure, its a win over a top fighter, but a top fighter he already holds a win over and one who is undersized for the weight they are fighting at. It might make a bit of difference if St. Pierre does it in very decisive fashion, but I can't see another GSP win over Penn doing anything more for GSP than the second win over Franklin did for Silva. Yeah, it was impressive, but it just solidified what we already knew from the first fight.

That's why I'm actually a bit more hyped for the Arlovski-Emelianenko fight this weekend. I think its a more "important" fight because of those factors.

da one enigma

Although I do agree that Penn has more to gain from this fight than St. Pierre, GSP is facing a renewed BJ Penn.

Their first go around, BJ wasn't dedicated to his training like he is now. (Although the 1st and 2nd primetime specials might show something different). It's still a huge improvement from their first fight and both have improved by leaps and bounds from their 1st encounter back in '06.

GSP is still proving something important with a victory here. Since their last encounter, BJ has dominated in his fights and captured a 2nd title becoming only the 2nd man to hold a belt in separate weight classes in the UFC. For GSP to take down somebody like that...I still think it's pretty damn special.

As for a prediction? Man, I'm been going back and forth. At first I predicted Penn, but now I'm leaning towards GSP. And I know I'll probably see-saw a lot more as we approach fight time.

Zar

Well said sir. I agree completely.

I think I'm much more excited for Machida/Silva as it has a huge impact on the light heavyweight division.

What bothers me most about GSP/Penn is that it is holding up the fight with Alves, and there are like a half dozen lightweights that Penn needs to fight.

Diaz/Guida will be nuts. And it's a shame that Fitch/Ghono is on the undercard.

B.J. Penn actually walks around at around 170 and has to cut to make weight at 155. So he really is a natural welterweight.

I'm big on Fitch Zar but you have to understand that this is his first back since his loss to GSP ironically for this card I guess and he hasn't fought for 7 events which when this one happens will be a 5 month gap.

He will fight his way back up.

Oh I don't doubt it. I'm just saying, I hope we get to see the fight if another goes short. I'm not one of those people who see it as a ploy by Dana due to the video game stuff.
