UFC 127: BJ Penn vs. Jon Fitch

[Rich Cranium]

Will we see another awesome performance by BJ Penn? Here is the fight card so what are your thoughts?

Main card
Welterweight bout: B.J. Penn vs. Jon Fitch
Middleweight bout: Michael Bisping vs. Jorge Rivera
Lightweight bout: George Sotiropoulos vs. Dennis Siver
Welterweight bout: Carlos Condit vs. Chris Lytle
Middleweight bout: Chris Camozzi vs. Kyle Noke

Side note: I'd really like to see Penn fight Frankie Edgar again! Edgar is a really impressive fighter and can obviously handle punishment!

Also looks like some of you other UFC fans have some homegrown talent on this card!

Kashdinero has Bisping and Robstar has Sotiropoulos!

[Robstar]

Lol, I also have Noke!

BJ was awesome in his last fight but lacked passion against Edgar, I think he was mentally defeated even before their second fight. Penn has moved up to welterweight anyway, I think he wants another crack at GSP. Good luck there. I can't wait for Edgar/Maynard 3 though.

George will have about fifteen thousand crazy Aussies screaming for him, and rightfully so, the guys a little beast! Bispings been on a bit of a roll as of late, could Rivera be the one to derail him, or will he move one step closer to a title shot by taking Jorge apart with his precision punches. I for one hopes it's latter, for obvious reasons
It'll be interesting to see BJ back in the welterweight division after his destruction of Hughes. Jon Fitch is gonna be BJ's Bitch in Robs homeland and I can't wait to witness it!
After Condit's devastating KO of Hardy I'm interested to see of he can get a win, as he must be close to contending for the title. Condit Vs Jake Sheilds number one contenders match?

Good points and I wasn't aware of this event being in Australia! Now Robstar can watch at a normal time while we watch it a day earlier, if that makes sense.

I like watching the fights on a weekend afternoon! Suits me fine. Here it will be at night but there's no way I'm missing it! I have some friends who are going - jealous as hell! Just checked and it's on in the arvo, so you guys will get it at the normal times you do.

did you see the first two fights. you can't be serious

I did but I feel Penn realized he needed to pick it up and so far so good. We will see in the next fight.

After not being taken off of his feet at 155 in ages, it was shocking to see the ease at which Edgar dismantled him. I can't see Penn being in too much of a hurry to face him again, but this is MMA and pride is a powerful motivator! I'd like to see him stay in the welterweight div for a while and see how he fares there. Fitch should be a good test for him, and it'll be good way to see if he's up for another showdown with Georges!
Personally I think it would be a different story this time around, without the vassaline helping him slide through Penns defences, Georges could find himself in trouble!
