Here’s my prediction of how the fight will go. This what they will say.

Georges St. Pierre dominated B.J. Penn on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The UFC 94 main event ended when Penn’s corner called the bout after the fourth round.

Penn, the 30-year-old UFC lightweight champion, fought off takedowns in the first. St. Pierre, the 27-year-old UFC welterweight champion, grabbed gesingle-legs but couldn’t finish them, though he used his length on the feet to score points in the end of the round.

St. Pierre finally finished a single-leg to start the second. He was able to posture up and land a solid left hand to his Hawaiian opponent’s jaw, which helped open a serious pass to side control. St. Pierre landed a right as before Penn got his guard back. Penn showed his flexibility from the bottom, but he could not control St. Pierre, who punched and elbowed from the top.

It was a round that clearly belonged to St. Pierre and set the tone for the rest of the fight.

The French Canadian GSP fed Penn some jabs to open the third. Penn’s nose began to leak blood, and St. Pierre began to dominate. On the ground, St. Pierre passed to side control and punished Penn with short punches and elbows.

Revjames thats how I predict how the fight goes ;P

GSP is a way classier person, I was very disappointed with the way BJ acted in UFC Primetime show. GSP is stronger, faster and better, I will say BJ does have allot of heart though.

BJ is going to win. You are an idiot to think that BJ doesn’t belong there.

with all the talk about BJ and GSP, and rightfully so, peopel seem to be overlooking the fact that this card is pretty good overall!!!

Thaigo vs Machida: hope Thiago can dominate and knock out Machida.

Diaz vs. Guida: Im really excited for this fight, it could be Nates first loss, Guida always brings it.

Karo vs Kim: The return of Kar, an new and improvd Karo, in his own words. Kim is a good up and comer, should be a win for Karo though.

Jon Fitch vs Ghono: Sucks that this isnt on the main card.

The return of Stephan Bonner

its an overall goo card!!!

What? I’ll grant you the fact that BJ utterly dominated the first round. But what 2nd and 3rd round did you watch. BJ did NOTHING. It shouldn’t have even been a split. When BJ’s trainer at the end of the fight said Of coarse we won the fight, look at his face, now look at BJ’s”. I wanted someone to congratulate him on winning 1 out of 3 rounds. You need to show up for the whole fight, not 1 round.

For the record. I have no clue who’ll win this fight. If BJ has addressed his conditioning it’s gonna be a warr between two of my favorite fighters. If he hasn’t, GSP just needs to weather the storm in the first round and BJ will hand the victory over, just as he did againt him the first time and as he did against Hughes.

I would not be surprised if GSP had problems bringing Tiago Alves down. Koscheck, who is one of the best wrestlers in mma, could not bring him down. He, Alves, is forgotten in all of this. What happens if he beats the winner of this fight this summer?

The utmost respect to both fighters. Whether it’s BJ’s natural talent or Georges St.Pierre’s heart and conditioning, I believe we have a classic in the making with both these men hungry and willing. We’re all MMA fans and can quote the sport as an “anything can happen” game. Trash talk is great marketing; especially on primetime TV. BJ Penn has his own style, it’s not heartfelt (like st.pierre), but it’s BJ. St.Pierre comes walks in the ring, in tremendous shape, and BJ walks in the ring as BJ. We all know the deal, but its the mystique of being in the octagon that tells no truth. For bettings sake: St.Pierre (late round 3) by (TKO). -The514

GSP is going down. it will be B.J.’s hand raised after the fight is over not GSP and then B.J. Penn will go up to 185 and kick andersons ass

I’m just wondering about some of Dana White’s logic. He says this is one of the biggest fight and yet you have a guy who took GSP the distance in Jon Fitch and Fitch’s fight can’t even get on the main card. Jon Fitch is getting shafted on this PPV. Hopefully some of the other fights finish quick and they have to show that fight to fill in some time.

As for the main event i like GSP. BJ Penn looks like a jacka$$ talking about I’m going to fight to the death, the guy runs out of gas after the 2nd and 3rd round so i don’t know if he can fight that long.

Ive been reading all these pro GSP posts and it makes me wonder if any of you saw the first BJ GSP fight. BJ beat the hell out of GSP for three rounds and was straight up robbed of the decision. BJ dominated that fight and turned GSPs face into hamburger! If there was ever a fixed fight, that was it! Supposedly GSP got all these points for takedowns where he did absolutley no damage!! When his bogus hand was raised at the end you could’nt even tell who it was through the bloody mask. As far as GSP being so much improved now, did any of you see Matt Serra steamroll him? GSp is one of the most arrogant cocky fighters in the UFC! BJ by 3rd round tko.
