Penn as a LW would be sick. He looks like he's built to comfortably be smaller than a WW. That would be awesome to watch him at his natural weight. That would make the LW division unbelievable. The possible matchups would be sick.

ya UFC would be stacked at the LW for sure with jens coming back from pride and etc.

Penn doesn't want to fight as a LW. He likes fighting heavier. He's rumored to compete in K-1 Hero's 187 lb GP.

I personally think Chuck is the best at his weight, but like someone said, he is getting older and only fighting twice a year. Although I like him the best, I'd say Chuck's run as champion might end B-4 Hughes or Franklin.

I'm probably in the minority with this, but, I see Hughes beating GSP again.

As for BJ, I think his best chance to regain a title is in the LW division.

I really don't see why everyone dogs on Franklin. Out of the three fighters he is probably overall the best. I would put those three like this, Franklin, Hughes then Liddell. The guy does not have a weak chin IMO, because when was the last time you saw him get knocked out? I think he just has bad balance which would explain the reason why he is able to recover so quickly from being hit.

I think overall these three are three of the best in the world. I think all three would be legit contenders or champs in pride or anywhere else.

I have nothing against Franklin, in fact I too think he is a great fighter, who recovers quicklyfrom big shots...........

I agree with you, all 3 are world class fighters no matter where they are.

no more paper champions...matthughes -out , lidell out, tim sylvia out tommorow, and jim carrey out...all coming soon to an octagon near you!

You can't say those three are best because they only fight in the ufc thats too one- sided, I'm not going to be like that with pride because they only fight in pride. I wish their was a one time show like Pride's best vs. the ufc's
best so we all can see who has the best fighters.

[kickass32]

I'm not saying they are the VERY best in the world. Obviously that would only be an opinion, but they would be world class fighters no matter where they fought....the best? Maybe, maybe not, but other than Fedor, you could make the same statement about Pride fighters.....
