I know I’ve told you who I think is going to win the Georges St. Pierre vs. BJ Penn fight, but who cares what I think? I’m just some schmuck with a blog. Okay fine. How aboot Randy Couture. Do we care what he thinks?
Here’s how “Captain America” sees things going Saturday night…
“B.J. is one of the most talented guys that I’ve ever been around. He has amazing balance and flexibility. He’s got naturally heavy hands. His submission skills are top notch, but I still think we’ve seen him at 155 fight the best that he has. Although he beat Matt Hughes back in the day at 170, it was more of a style match-up than anything. Conditioning, the body, mindset, everything, it was the best it’s ever been at 155.
“I just don’t see it going well for (Penn) going up to 170, dealing with a guy like Georges who is cutting down a good 15 pounds, probably more, to make the 170-pound limit, who is as dynamic and has the skill sets that Georges has. Although, I think it’s going to be a very interesting fight. I like Georges in a five-round title fight, in that fight.”
BJ Penn has the chance to make history, or at least UFC history. While a fighter had simultaneously held two titles in two separate weight classes before, it’s yet to be done in the UFC. Penn can be the first if he manages to defeat Georges St. Pierre this Saturday night. You would think that would be his main focus, but surprisingly enough no.
Everyone who has a modicum of interest in mixed martial arts thinks that this weekends Georges St. Pierre vs. BJ Penn fight is going to make history. I think so. You think so. Georges St. Pierre thinks so too?
Yeah, I know it’s a bit odd to write aboot the aftermath of a PPV four days before it happened, but that’s just how he role here at JBdotC. Besides, there is only one of two outcomes that can happen: either BJ Penn wins, or Georges St. Pierre wins.
