Not a fan but I have been turned into a Fitch defender.

Look BJ stopped GSP for taking him down the entire first round of their last fight, while he's got a full tank he can stop Fitch's takedowns. This isn't just a fan of BJ's wishing for a KO this is a likely possibility. Think about it

Fitch's only hope is to take BJ down but BJ will come in good shape and have the gas to fight off his wrestling and when he finds his opening he's gonna finish this fight.

I knew it Dana confirmed today that this fight will be for the #1 contender spot. BJ is gonna get his payback on greeseboy I am now beyond pumped.

That's because the winner will determine the next number one contender
to the welterweight title, according to Dana White on a conference call
today (via Twitter).

Jesus, now we may have to watch GSP or Fitch get their ass beat again? I would rather take a nap.

if you didn't, do.

I think Fitch stops Penn with some GnP.

Fitch by SD or UD. I voted SD to be different even though I really feel Fitch will just grind out a decision by laminating himself to BJ for 3 rounds. I hope I am wrong and BJ beats the crap outta Fitch.

Close vote, BJ up 7-6.

Odds are well in Fitchs favor though.

Agreed! I still picked ud for fitch but BJ could get frustrated laying on his back and have the fight stopped after he wears down.

I dont think so I think BJ wins.

Fitch holds BJ down as long as he can, and BJ catches Fitch in some sort of freak submission from the bottom. Book it.

The weigh in face off picks show Fitch to be way bigger.

If Penn can win this that would revalidate his stance as an all-time p4p great. He has fallen way off the pace of the leaders in this discussion, but a win here would give him a big boost fwd in terms of all time legacy.

I say all this cause I think Fitch is too big, and too solid. Fitch by UD.

I think BJ needs 5 rounds to catch fitch from the bottom not 3

We will see. I think BJ is top 10 p4p when BJ shows up.
