“BJ Penn is a multiple division champion so he deserves the shot.
After knocking out Hughes so fast I wouldn’t see a problem if the UFC
wanted to give him a rematch with GSP right away.
He has earned the right to fight anyone, anywhere and I don’t think he has to climb the rankings of anything.
Losing his 155 pound title wasn’t anything. He is still considered by
everyone the number 1 contender at 155. For him to go in and knock out a
hall of famer in basically one exchange that earns him the chance to
fight the number 2 guy in the weight class.
As far as the fight with Fitch, it’s the same thing I always say about
BJ fights. It depends on which BJ shows up. If it’s the BJ Penn that all
the fans love shows up then Fitch is going to have a really rough
night. It’s always about what BJ does it’s not really about what his
opponent does.
That’s kind of my way of putting the fight. If BJ puts every ounce of
his energy into beating Jon Fitch than I don’t think Jon Fitch has much
of a chance.”
BJ Penn fan and UFC welterweight fighter Dennis Hallman tells Pedro
Carrasco of BJPENN.COM that he believes Penn is near unstoppable as long
as his head is in the right place come fight time.
First touching on the fact that BJ’s second fight in the division is for
a number 1 contender seat and then touching on his thoughts on the main
event between Jon Fitch and BJ Penn scheduled for this Saturday at UFC
127 in Sydney Australia.
Many people share this UFC veterans opinion, the question still remains
are there really more than one BJ Penn’s and is Penn’s focus before a
fight always the deciding factor in the outcome?
