i love it, this is exactly the type of fight that bj needs to wakeup, its a fight that people will expect him to lose, if he can rise to the occasion and beat gsp's little brother in decisive fashion he would send a statement and possibly make a case for another gsp fight assuming gsp retains against condit. this plus serra vs hughes 2 are near the top of my wishlist.

BJ Penn is a warrior. That said I think this is a bad fight for him. Ares is a bad ass. I hope BJ fights at 155.

Im tired of seeing him out matched against bigger stronger guys. At LW he isnt at a disadvantage and I dont think its a bad thing to loose to Frankie Edgar. Bj really hasnt been that good at WW anyways. Beating an aging Hughes and fighting to a draw are his only wins/close fights.
Please please fight at 155 where you should be. Im tired or hearing the excuses for Bj.

Rory beats everybody but GSP and maybe Fitch and Hendricks at this point imo. Yeah I know he lost to Condit, but I think he wins in a rematch.

Not interested in this fight. Penn is probably only going to fight a couple more fights (if he does indeed fight again at all), so the fans want to see him fight big names (and it's likely that he feels the same way).
Similar to Hughes (if he chooses to fight again) and Kos, give them big names, make exciting fights. None of these guys are really looking to fight for the title, so they may as well be able to make some big money with exciting fights before they retire.

Am I the only one on the forum who wants to see MacDonald beat up Koscheck?
