This is it guys: BJ Penn vs GSP 2! This is quite possibly the most excited I've been to watch a fight. Two of the UFC's biggest stars, and future hall of famers going at it for the second time.
HERE'S THE QUESTION (two parts):
1) Who do you want to win?
2) Who are you betting on?
Give me some insight into why you're making your bet too.
So, my heart is with GSP on this one. I'm canadian, and I love to watch GSP fight. He's got monsterous strength and has been able to outwrestle all of his opponents. We've seen him rise and fall twice: in his first fight to Hughes, and again in his first fight to Serra. GSP is a smart fighter and an incredible athlete.
However, in terms of betting, I've been putting a lot of thought into this one and I'm almost completely sure that I'm betting on BJ Penn.
I know they fought a few years ago and Penn lost a split decision. I know that Penn got demolished in his second title fight with Hughes.
But that was the Old BJ Penn. The Old BJ Penn had no cardio; he came into fights out of shape and that's why there's no way he could've won those fights.
But now, we're looking at the best BJ Penn we've ever seen. As he demonstrated in his first fight with GSP, Penn's striking is on a completely different level than GSP's. Skeptics will say that GSP has been training on his boxing too, but he'll still get outboxed by Penn.
BJ Penn has been realized how important it is to have a strong heart; good cardio. If you've taken a look at him recently, you'll see that he's in the best shape of his life. His muscles are much bigger, and his cardio is better than ever. You can bet that his punches will be a lot stronger, and his gas tank will take him farther into the fight.
Finally, Penn has a world of confidence on his shoulders right now. He's demolished his competition; absolutely walked right through them. I've watched all of those fights, and I can conclude that Penn is getting more vicious with every fight.
As for mentality, I think Penn has a stronger mind than GSP. In the past, we've seen GSP confess that he does indeed get scared: he admitted that he was so nervous before his first fight with Hughes that he couldn't even look him in the eye before the fight. Also, GSP admitted that he was scared after his first round against BJ Penn. Penn has the mentality of a fearless warrior, and I think that will go a long way in the octagon when these two square off.

, give me a break. Maybe before you "suggest you watch the fight again" you take your own advice.
