I think Penn outstrikes him and outworks him on the ground for a decision win.
I dont' see Penn submitting Fitch, but I see him tearing him up on the standing and Fitch just shooting over and over again.

BJ has the better standup, better ground game and I don't see Fitch taking BJ down.
So BJ.

I think BJ has the better striking and BJJ, but Fitch seems so damn furocious and seems to really push a brutal pace that I think would lead to a ground and pound war, which I think he could win. Close call, but I think Fitch would be able to push BJ to the limit.

Fitch's pace would be too fast I think, especially if it was a 5 rounder. I know BJ is much more committed to conditioning but I don't think he would be in better shape than Fitch. Plus Fitch's submission defense is excellent and if GSP couldn't finish him after the damage he took then I don't think BJ could.

BJ ha the better striking skills and hits harder than GSP.

I don't recall ever seeing Penn use any kicks, so as far as the kicking aspect goes in the standup game, GSP trounces Penn there.
It's going to be a war, no doubt. Either one can win it.

I see this fight, going to a decision.
There is no way Fitch can finish Penn, vise versa.
I would have to go with a Fitch win, as in my opinion, has all the edges, besides Submissions.

I would have to say Fitch would end up grinding out a three round decision with some GnP.
