Penn vs Fitch
If you’re on this website, then chances are you’re interested in Penn vs Fitch, there isn’t much to say about this match up. Except, I really, really hope that BJ Penn destroys Fitch. Penn is coming of a first round knock-out of UFC hall of famer, Matt Hughes and two decision loses to Frankie Edgar.
Where as, the last 7 wins by Fitch have all been decisions. He has not finished a fight since 2007, in one word that is pathetic. The man is not a finisher, this is why I am picking Penn for the win. Rather, I’m hoping that BJ beats that crap out of Fitch. On the card also, we have Bisping fighting another random that will not further his career – shocking effort.
That being said, as an Australia I’m really disappointing that the UFC has not brought a title shot to the shores of Australia. They have however managed to bring some of the top contenders, with Cain Velasquez and now BJ Penn vs Fitch.
Does the winner of the fight get a title shot? That question is still unanswered, following Silva’s front kick knock out of Vitor Belford, Silva will be fighting GSP, if GSP can beat Jake Shields (which I think he is capable of doing). The question is, will the winner of BJ Penn v Jon Fitch get to fight GSP before Anderson Silva or after wards.
I for one am certainly hoping that it’s before, after all, both BJ and Jon have already fought GSP and lost – so there’s no reason why they should fight again.
That being said, you should definitely check out the UFC fight at the end of Feb – it’s promises to be a fantastic MMA match up between BJ and Fitch – let’s just hope that BJ does what he does best and runs through the guy.
