Would I be a SF Champion

Don't think its a very close fight. Not too worried

Damn dude, I feel sorry for you now. You just sound clueless.

Nick isn't on BJ's level. His standup defense with BJ's boxing? Oooohhhh lawdy. Diaz getting stopped here boy

Factor in reach and volume of strikes. You are in for a serious wake up call. Seriously you want to do an AV bet? If BJ stops Nick I'll give you my AV for a month, if he wins a dec you get my AV for a week. But when Nick wins you only owe me 1 week.

Are you trolling me or do you seriously believe what you are typing?

No I'm fine for an AV. I think BJ is going to beat Nick handily

So are you a Diaz hater or just a massive BJ Penn fan? Or maybe you are off your meds?

Neither. Don't like the matchup at all for Nick. I think BJ's hands are too accurate and fast for Nick who doesn't really pay much attention to his defense. Penn is a class above the sluggers that he has been overwhelming with volume and cardio in his SF run. I think Nick is going to get hurt for sure and BJ is a pretty damn good finisher. I'm sure he could put Nick on his back too if there was ever a need for him to do it

See this is what sucks about these two guys fighting for me. All I can allow myself to say is I can't wait to see this fight.

Man I think you are seriously underestimating Nick's chin. I won't argue that BJ's standup is superior to the guys Nick has faced recently but he does not hit harder and won't hit Nick any harder then has been hit recently. I won't be shocked if BJ wins the fight, I expect it to be a classic battle. But I will be extremely shocked if BJ dominates Nick, I'll have an extra large bucket of crow if that is the case. But I can't help but sense a little haterisim in your evaluation of the fight.

Remember Fedor is not the Champ even though he really is, take that into consideration

I'm gonna list a couple fighters in each division and you say yes or no

HW
Carwin, Cain or Dos Santos

LHW

Lil Nog, Thiago, Forrest or Bones

MW

Sonnen, Vitor, Maia, Marquardt, Okami or Wandy

WW

Kos, Hughes, P Thiago or Diego Sanchez

LW

KenFlo, Gray, Sherk, Griffin, Sotiropulous or Cerrone

Yes to all of them. None would be major dogs in any title fight with SF contenders or champions.

Sure, P4P he may not hit any harder than Daley, Cyborg, etc but BJ's boxing and accuracy is way ahead. Even at 170, when Penn hits people on the chin they're getting hurt. Nick isn't immune to getting rocked, he just has excellent recovery skills. I expect BJ to rock him early in this fight
