BJ can take fitch down.

Fitch doesn't really have great TDD and BJ has seriously underrated TD's everyone always talks about his TDD but his offensive wrestling is just as good as his defensive, he took GSP down in the first fight and yes that was years ago but straight after GSP was stuffing hughes with ease and that was when matts wrestling was still some of the best.

Obviously it's very doubtful that he will be able to control fitch on the ground but if he utilizes it then he can throw fitch off a bit.

Agreed :D

Getting pumped for this fight now!

I have to think Fitch has no hope of a submission, KO, or TKO. But I also have to think Fitch is too tough to get stopped, and that he's too big and too consistently good to get outpointed for more than the first round.

Pulling for BJ. Betting on BJ. Expecting a Fitch UD.

I originally voted for Fitch in this fight just because that's what my gut was telling me....but I really REALLY want to see BJ put Fitch away man!

Fitch is tough as nails and has lots of heart and is so hungry to win and that's cool...but I just really want to see BJ derail him.

i used to be much more excited when BJ was fighting, but after seeing how he could not solve the Edgar riddle, it has deflated some.

but if he could pull this off tonight, im sure i will be right back on the bandwagon.

BJ needs to win to win me over completely.

His right leg looks noticeably favored in the weigh ins... and the baggy jeans -- hiding a wrapped leg, perhaps? I f*cking hope not!

All made even weirder by the fact that a couple days ago in Dana's video blog, Penn looked fine walking down the street.

Probably nothing to make a deal out of... cant imagine him doing anything intense enough in the past few days to blow his leg out...

I think you guys are making to much about nothing, it just looks awkward cause BJ steps on the guy foot.

I am very intrigued by this bout because BJ looks legit intense like when he fought Florian and Diego, not that false bravado big talk like when he fought GSP and Edgar were it seems he is trying to convince himself as much as anyone else.

Am I the only one who thinks Fitch is going to outstrike Penn? I don't think he'll rock Penn or anything like that but I do think he will be the better striker. His striking looked amazing against Alves, and Alves is much better standing than Penn.
