BJ Fans come in!!!!!!

UFC lightweight champion B.J. Penn's Saturday night win over top challenger Diego Sanchez was so convincing, so thorough, so utterly dominant, that Penn fans and MMA observers immediately began to question whether there is any challenge to "The Prodigy's" crown at 155 pounds.

UFC president Dana White says there is.

And while some – including Penn (15-5-1 MMA, 11-4-1 UFC) – may be instantly eying a third fight with welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre (19-2 MMA, 13-2 UFC), White said there's a few obstacles left in that path.

"Off the top of my head, there's probably a couple other guys here (in the lightweight division) that deserve a shot at B.J. before he took off," White said. "There's probably a couple more, and then I would consider him cleaning out his division."

White agreed that names like Gray Maynard (8-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) and Frankie Edgar (11-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) probably deserve a crack at the lightweight belt before he would allow Penn to take another shot at the welterweight division. And once there, White said St-Pierre's convincing win in the pair's January meeting at UFC 94 means Penn can't simply jump straight to the top of the welterweight division.

"I don't think he has (forgotten St-Pierre), and I think if he cleans out this division, I think he's probably going to want to go back to 170 and take a run at that again," White said. "And I think [Penn] is a different human being now than he was last time they fought.

"(But) he'd have to fight – you don't just abandon your title, move up to fight 170 (pounds) and fight 'GSP' with the way you lost to him last time. He'd have to fight a couple top contenders at 170, then maybe."

Despite not being willing to instantly sanction a match between his lightweight and welterweight champions, White admitted he was impressed with not only Penn's performance, but his preparation and attitude, as well.

"I said to [Penn] earlier today, without sounding goofy or condescending, I said, 'I'm so proud of you, man,'" White said. "It's unbelievable what he's done in the last year.

"I don't know if all you guys saw the 'Countdown' show, but wow. This kid has completely changed his life, and his training regimen is sicker than anybody's I've seen in the UFC. This kid's been coasting on talent for 10 years. Now he's doing the right thing. I'm proud of him."

As perhaps the best lightweight in MMA history, Penn has challenged himself throughout his career by fighting at a variety of weight classes, including heavyweight. But after perhaps the best performance of his already legendary career, Penn wasn't quite ready to declare his next goal.

"I have nothing to comment right now," Penn said. "I just want to enjoy tonight."

Here we go guys! I was hoping we would see this. So it sounds like if BJ gets by Grey and Frankie then we will see him move up to WW and work for the title! I can't wait for this. I mean come on, he really has no competition in LW even including Grey and Frankie. He needs to move up just because of his talent level...not because of his size like most guys that have to move up.

And for the guys that question BJs training...check out the portion that I have highlighted!!

It would be nice if this all can be worked out and bj gets 1 more crack at the title at 170 but if it never happens and bj cleans house at 155 I'd setle for that also. But now we know this is a diffeent bj penn this is the real in shape prodigy bj penn.But lets face facts here who here thinks that frankie or Gray Maynard can give bj a run for his money.the last 7 out of 8 fights with frankie have gone to decisions I think preety much the same with meynard also.

NOT IF HE TRAINS FOR A YEAR OR MORE AT THAT WEIGHT AFTER HE'S DONT WITH 155. LIKE DANA SAID HE NEEDS TO ONLY FIGHT 2 FIGHTS AT 170 AND WIN TO GET ANOTHER SHOT AT GSP. I SAY HAVE BJ FIGHT HUGHES AGAIN

I recall gsp's face all fuk'd up in the first fight and then I see gsp's body covered in vasaline in the 2nd fight and confirmed. but indeed gsp was the bigger fighter at 170 which he should of won anyway. But since we are on the subject of kicking the shit out of someone your boy mir got his ass beat in the 2nd fight badly did ya see franks face.gsp beat someone who wasnt in shape at 170 and beat someone who shouldnt of been fighting at 170 at that time.So your lame point is what

**badasz32** · 12-17-2009, 09:35 PM

my point is brock lesnar and mir are 1 and 1... hahahaha.

**O2BESOHUGE** · 12-17-2009, 09:58 PM

I LIKE GSP AND ALL BUT IN THEIR THEIR FIRST FIGHT, BJ DID TO HIM EXACTLY WHAT HE DID TO SANCHEZ. BJ PROBABLY HAS THE BEST BOXING INTHE SPORT. MANY COACHES HAVE SAID THAT. GSP GOT OUT BOXED.

BUT PUT IT ALL TOGETHER, IM MEANING EVERYTHNIG - AND GSP IS THE BETTER MMA FIGHTER

IF IT WAS A STRAIGHT UP BRAZILIAN JU-JUJITSU (SP?) MATCH, GSP WOULD GET OWNED BY BJ

**FUZO** · 12-18-2009, 05:44 AM
