MMA, GSP vs BJ Penn, cant wait for the fight to happen

Question

any thoughts on the eventual winner? i think GSP will be to strong for BJ at 170lbs, but BJ is just about as good as it gets on his back and could catch an arm if GSP loses concerntration for a second.

what ever happens think it will be a great fight, cant wait.

Answer 1

Have you seen the first fight between these two?  I'm guessing it will be a fairly similar outcome. Should be another close fight. If BJ's cardio holds out he's got a good chance but GSP would be the favorite because of his take downs(holding dominate positions to win by decision.

For the record BJ is a much better striker. Watch round 1 of the first fight.

Answer 2

It will depend on one thing and one thing only:

BJ's conditioning.  If he has his cardio up, he will win.

Answer 3

im pretty sure that if there was anyone who can beat GSP it would be Penn...as long as Penn has enough time to prepare himself properly to fight at 170. Penn is a pretty d**n good striker himself and he can do work on his feet.so if he can keep his quickness and maintain his strength and technique at 170 i feel that he has at least a decent chance to beat GSP............i also think that this fight has a good chance to go to a decision..as both fighters really dont want to lose this fight...in any case this will be one of the most spectacular MMA events to date starring 2 of the sports most dominating,toughest, most technically savvy fighters.....it should be a treat....

Answer 4

GSP has much better cardo then BJ does. Matt Hughes put the hurt on BJ so I think GSP who put the smack down on Matt should kick ol BJ's butt.  

Answer 5

The difference maker is that GSP can get takedowns on Penn, but I'm not sure if Penn can get takedowns on GSP.  Both are excellent on the feet, and submissions.  

Hopefully they get this on a December card.

Answer 6

im not interested in seeing gsp pummel bj penn.  hes way stronger than penn. faster than penn, and ever since gsp lost to serra he snapped and has gone insane.  his training is uncomparable and he will roll through bj penn.  jon fitch would roll through him too.

Answer 7

I can't wait!  It's gonna be 25 minutes of pure excitement!  I love MMA and I love a good fight!

I'm excited to see how much BJ puts on to counter GSP's strength...

Answer 8

I have no doubt GSP can take BJ to the ground, it won't be easy, but BJ is not inmune to being on his back.  I can hardly recall GSP ever being on his back.

If they make this a 5 rd match, GSP will win. If it's a 3 rounder, it'll be tight

Answer 9

BJ was a different fighter when he fought hughes, and was a different fighter when he fought GSP, however, didnt BJ beat up on GSP really bad in that fight? I never saw it but i hear the decision is one of the more controversial ones ever....

plus, if you notcie BJ can hop all around the ring to if he doesnt wanna be taken down too, he has great takedown defense...

overall gsp is the better striker and better fighter on paper...but BJ's ground game and mentality gives him the edge in my book...

if you look at the champs, GSP is unbelieveable, but hes a fighter looking to score, fight smart, and win.

guys like BJ and Anderson Silva are looking to cause violence, end the other guys night right then and there...thats why i say BJ's style is just more violent...

Answer 10

I believe that GSP is the better striker, Prodigy is the better ground fighter, however the kicker is take down defense and GSP is nearly impossible to get off his feet. I give the edge to GSP.

Answer 11

LMAO "could catch an arm if GSP loses concerntration" anyways GSP will destory penn

Answer 12

I don't think GSP can put BJ on his back. It should be a good fight, I am looking forward to it. I think BJ will win though. For those of you who say GSP is harder to take down and that BJ isn't  a good striker, you should watch the Penn vs Sherk fight then come back and edit your answers.
