BJ Penn vs Georges St.Pierre is one of my most anticipated fights ever...

Diego Sanchez vs John Alessio its good to see Diego progress...

Went to public and high school with Sam Stout was one of my best friends for a long time. Dont know much about the other guy but i wouldnt waste any money betting against Sam. Hes been pretty much automatic for a knockout lately in the K1 league.

i have stout down for a win....He is fighting kenny florian....he is from the ultimate fighter show #1....much tougher than he looks but definitely beatable...he is from boston area and trained with us down in derby CT...scrappy but i do not think he beat stout here....JMHO...the only chance he has is on the ground since stout is sucha good striker and backround is in muay thai......florian choked out cope who is a good fighter...

BJ Penn is my #1 play of the night.
Yves Edwards deserves a good play as well.

bj may be good value, but i think st. pierre's overall game and athleticism wins this one......but that's why they fight

Pierre is obviously in better shape, he'll need it. If it goes to a decision, Pierre wins, but if he makes one mistake, BJ will capitalize and win via submission. I am banking on a second or third round win by BJ, because his tactics will frustrate Pierre.

I like BJ Penn, but his inactivity lately concerns me. GSP has been fighting and fighting at a very high level. A fight like this will either be over very quickly or will go the distance.
I give the edge to GSP.

after thinking about this one again i am in agreement that penn submits him in the 2nd.....st. pierre although a good athlete is not as rugged or nasty as the prodigy....lets not forget he submitted matt hughes with a rear naked choke......should be a good one, but penn is a sick puppy

BJ Penn!
