Benn is a world class jits guy but GSP's skills are really under-rated. Penn showed in his last fight that he can stay standing up and still win with some excellent boxing type skills but I would give the edge standing up to GSP. There is NO WAY this fight goes the distance in my opinion. None. I'm a GSP fan as well as a Penn fan but I favor GSP so the perfect scenario for me is for GSP to submit Penn, the jiu-jistu master.

GSP's skills are underrated? That's an awfully strange thing to say about a guy who routinely makes peoples "best lb for lb fighters" lists. In fact my top 4 looks like this:
1: Fedor
2: Anderson Silva
3: BJ Penn
4: GSP
and depending on the day of the week the order of that list changes but it's still the same 4 fighters.
Okay so given that BJ and GSP are both on the top 4 best lb for lb the smart pick in this heads up match is GSP because he's bigger.
