    Penn by TKO in the 3rd. I think hes too much for GSP. He's got all the tools to beat him, providing he's dedicated and trains.

    I think GSP easily controls the pace of the fight and wins a decision.

    I think at some point in the first 3 rounds Penn is gonna get top control and slip in a rear naked. If not, GSP will wear him down and possibly stop him in the 4th or 5th round.

    GSP is NEVER on the bottom, and Penn has one of the best top games in the sport. If Penn can get on top, GSP might once again get flustered and make a mistake.

    If BJ gets top control this fights over. But again GSPs grinding out a decision is the highest probability outcome, even if BJ has more ways to win

    This is THE best fight out there IMO. If BJ is in shape he can't be beat. GSP is good, but BJ is the ****ing ****! BJ by TKO.

    I just have a hard time seeing a truely motivated and in shape BJ being defeated by anyone and that includes GSP I thought he beat him the 1st time. Sure GSP has improved since then but so has BJ one thing BJ has going in is his mindset I dont think GSP is going to wanna trade with him hes been trigger shy since Serra and BJ has heavy hands the same hands that tore up his face in 2006. BJ by stoppage I expect him to catch him with a Knee in the 3rd batter him for a bit before GSP gives up his back kinda like how Hughes did in the 1st GSP fight the strikes are what set up the submission.

    I also think St Pierre will win by decision. Hopefully the fight lives up to expectations and it turns out to be a great fight.

    i pick bj to win by submission. bj only weakness is his stamina and he has improve that and his stand up also much better now. i'll pick bj to win by either decision-knockout or submission.

    This is the best fight to be made in the sport today. I am having a hard time choosing a winner between these two. This has the possibility to be a real classic with potential repercussions catapulting the winner to the top of the P4P heap.

    BJ Penn is no bull**** lightweight fighting at 170. Penn is a former champion at 170, and is arguably the best 155 lber ever. A successful defense by Pierre will add to an argument for his being P4P #1, and further push for a match with Anderson Silva.

    If Penn wins, he can stake his own solid claim to being the world's best fighter.

    I am really looking forward to this match. Penn has the best take down defense in the game. After watching Pierre versus Koscheck and Hughes, I must say he is the best at takedowns in mma. Pierre slammed near world class wrestlers like they were nothing.

    Freddie Roach is right. Penn does have better hands than Pierre. Pierre's advantages are size, strength, and leg kicking. Pierre must rely on his strengths to win, because Penn outmatches him in every other department.

    Everyone says Bj is unbeatable when he is focused but I think the same is true about Gsp.Borderline unbeatable.
