UFC 94: St. Pierre vs. Penn 2
Saturday, January 31
Georges St. Pierre -166 over BJ Penn ($5000 to win $3000)
Georges St. Pierre -166 over BJ Penn ($5000 to win $3000)
Alright so there is not much I can say. These are two of my five favorite fighters in the world and it sucks that one of them has to lose. Having said that, nobody has beat GSP in his prime in fights he prepared well for. Matt Serra beat him in a fight that GSP did not take seriously but with all the hype around this fight here tonight, you can bet your bottom dollar GSP did all the training in the world he could. You probably all know by now that GSP can be a deadly striker and so can BJ Penn. GSP got the best of Penn in their first fight ages ago but that doesn't mean shit because both guys are completely different fighters now and if anything GSP has a lot more incentive to win this fight. I say that because there are a lot of doubters out there and I see a ton of people taking BJ Penn to win this fight. Watching local interviews all week long I know for a fact that St Pierre has prepared for absolutely everything and has trained for this fight like he has never trained before. This fight kinda reminds me of Penn's loss to Matt Hughes at UFC 63. I mean it was off the heels of that first loss to GSP and Penn showed why he will never be considered one of the best of all time in this sport and that's because he just doesn't have the killer instinct that guys like GSP, Anderson Silva and Chuck Lidell once had. This is one of those fights where I would be shocked if Penn won and this is one of my largest wagers of the year because of the great odds. GSP. GSP. GSP.

Flava, the problem here for you is BJ Penn is for the first time in his career taking the training thing very seriously. I have been reading that BJ is training harder than he ever has before. He might be the most pure talented fighter in MMA. He got by with his amazing talent. Hell he earned his blackbelt in record time because of his amazing skills and talent. Now that he is combining the talent, the skills, with the great training. I think Penn is a complete fighter now.
He has greater ability than GSP IMO. Sure, GSP has the reach, and maybe better boxing skills. But overall skills I give it to Penn. I expect a BJ Penn win tonight. $5000 at risk tonight? Think you will be upset on SuperBowl Sunday.
