|  BJ Penn vs. Georges St. Pierre II Garnering Momentum
Quote: BJ Penn called out Georges St. Pierre after his patient annihilation of a very game Sean Sherk, and it seems that Penn isn't the only one interested in a rematch between the current UFC light and welterweight champions.
"I know I’d look forward to seeing it," said Sean Sherk at the UFC 84 post fight press conference.
Sherk should know, he now holds the distinction of being beaten by both men. When asked who he would favor in the fight, however, Sherk was noncommittal.
“Both of their striking is good, both of their ground is good. Styles make matchups and it would depend upon who was on that day."
Dana White, who has stated that he would like for Penn to clean out the lightweight division first before moving back up to welterweight, also seemed open to the idea of allowing Penn to move up; after one more fight at lightweight.
“I think there’s one more interesting fight for him (at lightweight), but it isn’t something I wouldn’t talk to him about,” said White. | Source
I agree with Dana there...Penn should clean out the lightweight division first, before moving back up to welterweight...b/c i wanna see Huerta/Penn, Florian/Penn and even Guida/Penn matches.

I wanna see Penn vs Huerta/Florian before the move up to WW to kick GSP's arse.
Would be good.

Penn vs Florian would be nice but since they both have good ground games. But I think that's the only person left for Penn to face at lightweight before moving to welterweight to face GSP again.

This is unfair to the guys that are working their way up the WW division to earning title shots if they would be just pushed aside so easily. Thiago Alves(as long as he beats Hughes) deserves the winner of GSP/Fitch way more then Penn does.

I still think BJ beat GSP the 1st time.
