Other Sports UFC 94 GSP vs BJ Penn

raybec 4 · 01-30-2009, 09:15 AM

UFC 94 should be decent. GSP vs BJ Penn should be a very good fight. I will be rooting for Penn. I think if BJ can keep from getting gassed he could win. He's always had problems with his cardio at 170 though. Lyoto Machida vs Thiago Silva should be a great fight. I personally like the way Silva fights but Machida's manner and attitude so it will be a pick 'em for me.

I am so antsy in my pantsy for this fight.

I'll be embarassed to be a huge BJ Penn fan if he's not ready. I don't see him getting gassed, he went up for this fight. I hope he didn't do it by eating. I say he rips that cocky george st piece of shit's tongue out through his eyeball without flinching.

I'm pulling for BJ as well. I'm tired of GSP and his merry band of nuthuggers.

I'm also a big Machida fan. A lot of people think he's boring, but I find his style fascinating. He's so elusive, yet doesn't run from the fight. The way he picked Tito apart made me a fan.

Should be fun. BJ vs GSP is truly a "super fight".

BJ won't come in out of shape, I haven't seen him this fired up for a fight in a long time. I think GSP is the better athlete, but BJ is a true fighter, I hope BJ mops the floor with him. BJ's BJJ is top tier, and BJ's camp is ridiculous. Rush will come ready, but I hope BJ dominates him.

GSP has to be one of the classiest MMA fighters out there. The only reason you guys are looking for something bad to say against him is that you're worried and know he's gonna clean the mat with Penn.
The scary thing about GSP is that his defense is actually better than his offense. Penn will looking for that home-run hit during the whole fight until George takes him down and breaks his arm.

GSP in the 2nd.

. Are you new to MMA? GSP has always been a cocky bastard. Secondly did you watch the first fight between these two, no one looked for a KO shot, both are methodical fighters. Both are great fighters, BJ is one of the most talented fighters in the UFC, there is a reason they called him The Prodigy when he first started. GSP is good, no doubt about it, I will take my chances with BJ, I still love watching GSP get beat by Matt Serra

. If BJ's mind is right, the only person who can stop him is himself. GSP is a great athlete and good fighter, he beats a lot of people on athleticisim alone. Penn is a great fighter and one of the most flexible and capable BJJ guys in the World. The only problems Penn has ever had is motivation, and he wants to kill GSP in this fight. His submissions rival fedor's IMO. He's rolled with Karo Parisyan, who is top tier also. I'm excited for this fight. Penn reminds me of Fedor, you would never guess by looking at them that they would be the terror's that they are, but looks can be decieving.

I'm curious, what are your thoughts now? Time to find a new "Prodigy"?

I'm not sure where he gets that GSP has always been a "cocky bastard" from. BJ Penn is a 1000 x more cocky than GSP. I like GSP because he doesn't come across as cocky as a lot of the other fighters.

Until GSP walks out and gets punked by some loser like Sera again.

I didn't give him that nickname, it was given to him when he first started, he's a little old to be a prodigy anymore LOL. I don't like either fighter, so I really didn't care who won. I don't like GSP at all, and I like BJ a little more than I like GSP, which isn't saying much. I didn't buy the fight because I didn't care who won.

Right. BJ Penn lost against GSP in a bullshit decision and Georgie boy was admitted to the hospital that night. BJ didn't even have a scratch. BJ dominated him standing up and thats not even BJ's favorite thing to do.

I'm so worried.

BJ won the first round and gassed. Penn did inflict the most damage but I think GSP edged him in the final two rounds. BJ should have won but he didn't prepare enough. I think this is going to be a good fight. The only weakness I see in either of their game is Penn's conditioning.

For the guy that said GSP was just an athlete and not a fighter....you must have watched the fight preview special Spike ran the other night. GSP is more than an athlete, the guy can fight.

Everyone knows about BJ's conditioning problems but nobody talks about the fact that GSP is a freakin head case! You never know which guy your getting. He lets any outside the ring issues take his focus. He reminds me of the 170 pound version of Vitor Belfort. Sometimes he looks unbeatable, sometimes he looks average.
