In the coming weeks a lot of attention will be given to the UFC 127 main event between BJ Penn and Jon Fitch, but so far there has been much talk about welterweight clash.
I am also in the ranks of the actors in the title.
This battle was delayed fight for the heavyweight title between spontaneously announced "Shogun" Rua and Jon Jones and the hypothetical super-fight between Anderson Silva and Georges St. Pierre, not to mention the first GSP fight Jake Shields, and many other races past and future. Now, when I spent Sunday working material this weekend, do not understand why we are the MMA brand is no longer happy with this match-up?
Say what you will about Jon Fitch style, man can not. It is far from flashy, but when you win battles 21:22, you have my respect and attention. While this certainly does not hurt that I have and enjoy the brand Fitch fight (dirty, dirty, grinding and fighting style), and had the opportunity to speak with his perennial rival welterweight repeatedly for its lack of recognition, despite 13 -1 record inside the Octagon will never cease to amaze me.
You do not want his approach and triumphs of many decisions he has produced, but gives it right.
Fitch is tied for sixth all-time wins with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, a former 185-pound champion Rich Franklin and teammate Josh Koscheck, second only to Tito Ortiz (14), SPG (15), Chuck and Randy (16 pieces) and Matt Hughes (18), and had to win a share higher than all but one of the boys. Penn's victory was probably the largest career and endanger the American Kickboxing Academy product a bit 'more than a re-welterweight title challenge.
Then you have "Baby Jay", the enigmatic former champion twice, throwing fans and critics to the warring factions, each time he enters the cage.
While Fitch has the most impressive results in terms of victories and defeats, Penn was in gold and has always been considered one of the largest of the game, win or lose.
He recovered from two consecutive defeats Frankie Edgar his 21 second victory of Matt Hughes, UFC 123, and seems to have found again that hunger. In the promotional video that will soon be on their frequencies and channels of the Internet (if you have not already seen), Penn said, with regard to Fitch and his great achievements, but who wants to see themselves as the product and the AKA Top 5 Welterweight consent has to offer.
This meeting was a consensus of two Top 10 competitors and share a couple of friends could do about it is pound-for-pound debate, and why we sleeping?
From there, I'm rested and awake, UFC 127 main event will be outstanding, and when he arrived Saturday, I hope you do too.CLICK HERE WATCH LIVE STREAM
