Ya right, BJ doesn’t even have one legit belt. He couldn’t win a belt at LW, so he jumped up (WITHOUT fighting ANY top WW contenders first)and got a FREEBE title shot. He LOST his next 2 WW bouts. Then he jumps back down and gets another FREEBE title shot after ONLY beating a washed up Pulver (who lost his previous fight in a matter of seconds).BJ has 2 bogus belts and if he took the true championship route that GSP or Hughes took he would have zero belts. You got it backwards, when BJ can avenge all his losses (in dominant fashion)like GSP HAS, then we’ll talk about BJ being the best P4P fighter. Right now GSP is the most dominant fighter, yes even more than Silva. Silva has been winning all his fights lately, but he doesn’t dominate from bell to bell. In fact he was losing most of his fights until the very end, he still has unavenged losses and the MW division is nowhere near as tough competition as the WW div. When it comes to P4P best, one could argue Anderson is better than GSP, but BJ, NO WAY. He hasn’t proven it,at least not yet.

Adam, where you been, Kevin said it PLENTY, that he hates GSP. Go read some of his Serra posts. That’s his right to hate him, but he still said it and he sure as hell NEVER said the opposite.

First off I’m no Penn hater. The dude has mad props and can literally beat anyone on any given day. Unlike Fedor however he doesn’t beat everyone everyday. It doesn’t make me a nut hugger or a hater because I’m rooting for the other guy to win. I don’t talk shit about Penn and I don’t even think his cardio is bad, it just isn’t enough for the amount of energy he uses. I am also not unrealistic about how this fight is going to go either. I don’t think this is going to decision, it isn’t even possible. For people to call this as going to decision is weak and shows that they don’t know much about either fighters history. If Penn is able to make it to the decision he probably will win the fight, because he probably took the first three rounds. Anyway if Penn gases he’ll get finished no doubt about it. In this fight niether guy is going to stop for a second meaning that if one gases the other one is going to capatilize. The only possible submission I can see that Sherk could get on Penn is a RnC but I don’t see that happening. I see a GnP victory in the fourth round to be honest. It’ll be a great fight but if Sherk is to win it is by Gnp in the fourth. Also not many people have finished those guys either so that theory doesn’t really mean much to me. Even if it goes to decision I don’t know why anyone would be complaining, you just got 5 rounds of BJ and Sherk fighting like maniacs. Niether of these guys are slouches and I could only hope for a 5 round fight to the death.

If the Affliction fight is going to be in a ring… there goes any small chance Big Timmy had unless he sneaks in his hunting rifle into the ring. Also, Rothwell’s chances against AA just jumped up significantly. Fedor, Barnett and Rothwell would be my predictions if it happens.

I don’t care what anyone says…BJ is the best p4p fighter out there. Once Anderson and GSP hold two belts at two different weight classes then will talk.

I think Cory can read very, very well. kevin, its cool that you hate GSP. People hate Kobe Bryant, people hate the Patriots, people hated the Yankees when they were unbeatable. Shakespeare said it best: “In time we hate that which we often fear.”
