		<description>The onlyway BJ will get a submission is by luck or ........ well theres no other way, BJ will not be able to get a sub b/c GSP is way too strong, unless he gets his back.  So there are two ways luck or by getting GSP&#039;s back.  Well I think I said enough to prove to all of you GSP is going to win VS BJ, well he does by far on paper, I know I know the fight isnt fought on paper, but it sure doesnt hurt to have the resume GSP has on paper though.  I think the downfall 4 BJ is..... his last 3 fights wrnt anything surprising (that he won all 3, bc of who he fought, come on Pulver Joe Daddy &amp; Sherk) ya they almost bring what GSP brings to the cage.  The only reason Sherk is in LW is because of GSP, like BJ said &quot;I seen Sherk beat mentaly, physicaly, emotionaly by a better, stronger, faster fighter...... GSP&quot;    Right after GSP broke Sherk&#039;s nose with elbows, b4 GSP was out of the ring Sherk was signing up for LW LOL.  I would like to se BJ fight a few guys in LW, Florian could surprise alot of you, not saying he would definately beat BJ, but I think it would be alot better than most of u BJ cock N ball lovers think.  Huerta in a year or two, even Clay Guida would be nice to see... there are a few guys, anything is possible ask GSP VS Serra 1 &amp; Anderson VS Ryo 1

GSP will win and when he does I will be back here to see what excuses you Penn fans have to say...... &quot;ughhhh look at his face its bleeding&quot;   BJ doesnt bruise or cut easily, nice advantage to have, but like I said... that still doesnt mean shit about the outcome of a fight.</description>

		<description>As for GSP VS BJ, should be a good fight, and for those who are complaining about GSP&#039;s black belt in JJ, is well deserved and overdue....... since GSP was awarded his Black Belt in BJJ months ago and turned it down b/c he didnt think he deserved it, so he waited.  He is training with the best &quot;Ju Jits&quot; in the world, the Gracies and company.  YES BJ is better @ BJJ, but compare the amount of time it took them to get theirs &amp; u will see that BJ has been training for many more yrs than GSP has.  BJ is better at BJJ and thats about it, GSP = stronger, faster, better striker/boxer (if u think that Fitch fight wasnt a pure boxing clinic compared to BJ VS Sherk ur an idiot or u never seen the fight) GSP wayyyyy better wrestler by far, better TDD, better Muay Thai, clinch is sick, way better shape etc etc etc.   Like Rogan said in the Fitch fight, &quot;GSP looks like he did in the 1st round, in the 5th round&quot; didnt hear anyone say that about BJ.  Fitch &quot;I knew he was fast, but not that fast.... speed kills man, it really does&quot;  &quot;it took me the first round 5 mins to adjust to his speed, by then it was too late, I took way too much damage&quot;  Jab JAB jAB

Not to mention GSP has crazy combos, spining back fist, superman punch, crazy kicks to the face/legs/body, spinning round house kicks, axe kicks etc  Hes a machine and is only getting better and better each fight.  GSP isnt even in his prime yet and hes making world class fighters in his division look like NOOB&#039;s.  Even Dana White said &quot;I think BJ should rethink this fight with GSP, b/c we are seing a new and better GSP each fight&quot;  I coulndt even believe Dana would say that about his BOYfriend BJ, wow no sucky sucky for long time.  BJ is very good and no doubt is the best LW in the world, but hes entering a new world he has never even had a glimpsed at b4.  GSP is going to be too much for BJ off the start on him like all the time, like he did with Fitch, pressure pressure pressure and oops mistake and then u pay 4 it.  Tough to get him down, tougher to keep him down.</description>

		<description>GSP has fought over 155 mins in the cage &amp; has spent less than 6 mins on his back... WTF, yes thats right less than 6 mins on his back.  What takedown defence &amp; strength.  GSP has been in the UFC for only 4 yrs, yet he was/is the WW champ twice in 4 yrs and his resume in his first 4 yrs in the UFC with wins over top notch fighters is un-matched by anyone. Not Randy, BJ, Lidell, Reshad, Lyoto, not even Anderson Silva has the resume that GSP has in his only 4 yrs in the UFC.  GSP killed wrestler after wrestler and he didnt even wrestle.  list of fighters he fought in his short 4 yrs in the UFC, not even Fedor can touch this resume in his first 4 yrs fighting...... Pete Spratt,Karo Parisyan,Jay Hieron,Matt Hughes 3X Won 2/3 easily,Jason Miller,Frank Trigg,Sean Sherk,B.J. Penn,Matt Serra,Josh Koscheck,Jon Fitch, what a shity list of fighters he beat in only 4 yrs and whos only 27 turns 28 in may OUCH!!!
Thats the top resume for anyone in their first 4 yrs in the UFC, ohh and they are all wins, the only person to have wins over every man hes fought, guess he lucky right?!?!?! IDIOTS.

There are soo many top 5 top 10 fighters in their weight division at one point in their fighting carreer when GSP beat them, unlike Fedor who beat alot of jokes.  Not taking anythign from Fedor he did beat alot of good fighters but he has over 30+ fights I believe, while GSP has 19 fights VS alot of top fighters.  

After the GSP VS Fitch fight, everyone was saying how amazing GSP looked and then they interviewed Greg Jackson, Jackson &quot;GSP did good, but he made alot of mistakes, if u thought GSP was good tonight, u havnt seen anything yet. U&#039;ll see his next fight&quot;  OUCH AGAIN!!! He crushed the 2nd best WW in the world and the &quot;toughest&quot; challenge of his fighting carreer, YAWN.  Every fight from here on in will be GSP&#039;s toughest test to date.  Reshad Evans amazing fighter &amp; wrestler said GSP kills everyone in training at wrestling him included, GSP takes everyone down and u cant get him off of you, and u cant get him down b/c his TDD is sick, the best in MMA.  GSP wrestles people 20-50 lbs heavier than him and still owns them in wrestling and on the ground, so strong and fast. Name me another country who asked one of their atheletes to compete in the Olympics in an even he has never &quot;trained&quot; for... Team Canada asked GSP to wrestle for them in Beijing, which is y he was wrestling with team Canada, but he couldnt b/c he had to fight Fitch in august, same time as the Olympics.
I dunno about you, but I have never heard of a country to ask an athelete to attend the Olympics in a sport they have not trained in.... its like asking someone/a good street fighter to attend the Olympics in boxing.... I dont think so.</description>

		<description>Glad to find a good place to spit out some facts and opinions.

First of all, BJ is a very talented fighter, hence the name &quot;prodigy&quot;, though hes fighting &quot;Rush&quot;. For those BJ nut huggers get over it, BJ lost the 1st fight b/c of BJ being a dumb ass, how?!?!? u ask.... BJ did poke GSP in the eye and cut him at the same time, so GSP fought BJ with one eye and still managed to win, OUCH!!!  THe funniest thing ever is when GSP won, theres a guy in the backround (part of BJ&#039;s camp) who said &quot;thats BS look @ his/GSP&#039;s face&quot; lmfao what an idiot, no wonder BJ lost.  I didnt know that if ur face is bleeding or more beat up u automaticaly lost the fight, man that never happends.... Forrest Griffin, Check out Anderson Silva VS Ryo Chonan, Ryo was getting spanked and then Anderson was tapping b4 he hit the mat, anyway... GSP knew he couldnt stand with BJ in their 1st fight b/c he had one eye, so GSP being smart knew he had to take him down and control the fight, which he did for rounds # 2 &amp; 3.  The fact that, that the only thing GSP could do was to take BJ down and control and keep top position, yet BJ wasnt smart enough to realise what GSP was doing and kept getting takin down at will.

As for BJ being in great shape @ 155lbs is very true, but u fools forget this.... if BJ gains the weight needed to not give GSP too much of the strength/size advantage at WW he will not be in the same shape he was @ LW, but if BJ decides to keep his good cardio at LW hes going to get tossed out of the cage, GSP will throw him around like the lil Hawaiin Pig he is.

Can someone please tell me the last fighter BJ fought who was anywhere close to the talent of GSP?!?  Pulver/Joe Daddy/Sherk (who never attempted a takedown WTF)  If anyone thought BJ would of been tested by his last 3 oponents, u obviously know nothing and ur an idiot.  Not one of those guys have a fraction of agression/fast pace GSP will bring to this fight, BJ will get worn down just like Fitch did, Fitch is in excelent shape, but like Rogan said when u eat the punishment Fitch did in the 1st round alone will make u look like ur out of shape.  The longer the fight lasts the longer the night will be for BJ.  GSP has crushed everyone since that loss to Serra, check out his stats, rounds won and by how many.</description>

		<description>Simple, Kos and Fitch are on another freekin planet, than a washed up Pulver, Stevenson or even Sean (I think I can stand with BJ) Sherk. There is more to &quot;complete fighter&quot; than just BJJ, striking and Wrestling. Stength and conditioning and athleticism are a HUGE asset when you have the skills to go with them. Saying BJ has better wrestling (in any way , shape or form) is a joke. GSP&#039;s wider array of strikes (kicks,knees,punches)makes him the better striker. BJ mostly just uses his hands. As far as EFFECTIVE BJJ (getting a sub win in the cage) they both have 5 sub victories. BJ&#039;s are ALL chokes, GSP has hit armbars, chokes and a kimura.</description>

		<description>Hughes handled GSP then and now he got UTTERLY owned. Fitch is higher competition than Karo or Miller and it was more lopsided. All one has to do is watch his recent fights and then go back and watch his old fights (big difference). I guess you don&#039;t count BJJ improvement blue belt then, BLACK belt NOW, (someone who&#039;s giving belt away, thinks he has improved). His wrestling was always good, but he just mauls guys with it now. His striking power has really improved (see Fitches face). Don&#039;t expect me to believe he could do that much damage back then, because he NEVER did. Lastly, anyone who knows him or trains with him, say he has gotten much stronger. Then he could barely do 10 bodyweight pull ups, now he can do 3-4 with 100 lb dumbell strapped to his waist. He has improved in everything and if you can&#039;t see what Greg Jackson has done with him, you need to get your eyes checked.</description>

He has improved in everything and if you can&#8217;t see what Greg Jackson has done with him, you need to get your eyes checked.</p>

		<description>These things happen bro.  Personally, my jiujitsu career was cut chort when I herniated a disc in my neck during training.  I was only a 2 stripe white belt, and I threw up a triangle and got rolled over backwards by a newbie whon didn&#039;t realize that I&#039;d end up in mount when he did it.  Stupidly, I rolled straight back over my head instead of tucking my head to the side and rolling over a shoulder.  My nose basically touched my chest and I heard a couple pops.  I continued rolling until I tapped the guy.  Even more stupidly, I still competed in a Grappler&#039;s Quest tournament a few days later, and got caught in a neck-wrenching guillotine after a very sloppy double leg attempt.  A few days later, I developed severe nerve pain in my right shoulder and numbness and twitching in my right fingertips.  At the time, I thought it was a pinched nerve but an MRI proved otherwise.  Let this be a lesson.  PROTECT YOUR NECK!!</description>

		<description>GSP has outclassed his last 4 opponents, none of which have the skill set of BJ Penn.  Also, none of those fights gave GSP the test that BJ did (a fight I still think he won, because a couple takedowns in the 3rd round mean nothing to me if you can&#039;t capitalize).  GSP is talented, and so is BJ.  Its going to be an amazing fight...one for the record books.  I just think BJ is tougher...mentally.</description>
