I'm a little tired of people just walking into divisions and receiving title shots, ie Brock Lesnar, BJ Penn, and soon-to-be Diego Sanchez. For guys that wash out of a division (ww Sanchez) or are new to UFC (Lesnar), or are literal whiny b*tches (Penn), there's no justification for it.

Sanchez couldn't be a contender or champ at WW, so he drops to LW and thinks he's LW division's gift to man. Granted I hope he pounds Penn silly, I just think the LW's that have been grinding it out for their chance at a shot get disillusioned.

As far as Penn/GSP 3 is concerned... f*ck you Penn. You lost the first fight, fair and square. You were dominated the 2nd time around, and quit "like a b*tch". "To the death, to the death..." sound famiiar? You didn't the title shot in the rematch but were given one. And here you are, self-promoting a future third ass-whipping? That hawaiian sativa must be some pretty potent sh*t.

BJ wants another rematch with St. Pierre? Beat Hughes, Fitch, Alves, Swick, and Kampmann first. Oh yeah, give up the LW title too if you manage to beat Sanchez, so the next lightweight contender doesn't have to file for social security before a LW title fight rolls around.

Not officially annonced yet...but everything is set up for it....fitch look very impressive in his las fight annd we all know what happen to Alves.

I hate both of these fuckers, so just as long as someone gets KTFO I'm happy.

Hell no! Diego will completely out muscle and smash BJ into oblivion.

This is like Forrest vs Anderson all over again. BJ is in a different league, he will outclass Diego. Diego won't be able to take him down he will just get beat up like everyone else. If BJ gets on top he is done for.

I'm calling it now, BJ by domination. Wait and see.

Sanchez is gonna run across the cage and push his shit in, 1st round TKO.

Fuck yeah baby.

Let him win enough to fight GSP again, and let him get his ass reamed by GSP again.

@ cagefighter
That's what I'm sayin dog. Have they announced Fitch vs Alves? I haven't heard that.

If He beats Sanchez...which he'll probably do...I would love to see him fight the winner of Fitch and Alves. Then if he put on two sensational fight...get him a crack to GSP, even though he's gonnna losse again

As much as I dislike both Penn and Sanchez, I think this will be the best LW battle in a good while. This fight could be legendary if both of these dipshits bring their A game. I is excited.

BJ looked solid in his last fight. He didn't gas, defended all takedowns and won all striking exchanges. He also looked thick and huge for a lightweight compared to Kenny, but he was also faster. All Diego can do is dance around and hope some of his strikes land

If they put together Maynard vs. Penn, they would have to have Mayhem host it.

Diego is a natural 170 cutting down to 155, he will come into a fight bigger than BJ, stronger than BJ, and more aggressive that BJ. BJ is slow and methodical, and Diego should expose that. BJ has good takedown defense but you don't defend being picked up and put on your head. Just like GSP took him down at will, so will Diego.
I was hoping Florian woulda attacked BJ with his fist, and elbows instead of trying to wear him out, that was a dumb move....Diego isn't a thinker, he is a brawler, and he will run across that ring and fucking do what he did to Guida.

BJ will beat Diego.

There isn't a 155'er in the world that can mess with BJ. Yes he's a whiner, and yes he needs to forget about GSP, but he's still the man at 155.
@ Jubbie
I agree with you bro, it does screw over both divisions, but I wouldn't mind seeing GSP shut BJ's mouth for good about fighting him.

I cant wait for this fight. I think Diego has a really good chance at winning this. He is a cardio machine.....And no matter how good of shape BJ comes in at, it will not be as good as Diego.

I hope Diego wins this. I am so sick of starting to hear BJ mentioning another possible fight with GSP.

I see this as being as fast paced as Guida/Sanchez......BUT with an equal amount of ass kissing from each fighter. This one should be a barnburner and potential for "fight of the year". My prediction.....Diego by stoppage during round 4. I think his relentless pace will finally wear down BJ and will either sub him or ref will stop from strikes

Agreed, BJ's style is the perfect kryptonite for Gray's own brand of lay and pray

Bj owns Gray. His takedown defense is the best in the world at 155. Save for GSP... but thats at 170.

Hughes in his prime couldn't keep BJ down in their first fight, and he's far bigger and superior than gray maynard.

No 155er is going to "bully" BJ penn.

Gray maynard couldn't even land a punch or impose any offense against rich clementi...

If he's so obsessed with GSP and if he beats Diego, I'd rather see him vacate his title and move up again for a while than this super fight stuff. It just screws over two divisions every time this stuff happens. It would obviously be contingent on BJ staying focused the entire time and actually putting on lean muscle instead of flab to make 170.

this is a pretty good match-up.....should be interesting and the pre-fight trash talk will be AMAZING. maybe Diego will jump out of a baby pool full of jello just to "one up" BJ

BJ vs Diego should actually be pretty epic though. Beyond BJ vs Gray I think that's pretty much a wrap @ 155 for now...

"Diego Sanchez? No, I said I'm ready for 'Chorizo Sandwich,' to hell with getting back in the gym..."

Let fight Sanchez.

If he beats him convincingly, let him fight a contender @ 170.

I'm a big BJ fan, but he needs to beat someone good at 170 before getting another crack at GSP.
