    BJ Penn wrote:I kept thinking, ‘Who’s going to grind me and try to push me into the fence and do the ground and pound stuff?’ and I was like, ‘Matt would be a perfect guy to come in and help me out.’ I actually got to work with him a little bit and he surprised me in a few positions. He’s got some stuff to show me and I’m just blessed, really, that he’s down here. I think Matt’s the guy [to mimic Fitch]. Matt’s the man. We were even talking about it last night when we were standing in the ring. He was like, ‘Come on; I’m Fitch. That’s my style. Push you down, take you down and I’m going to beat on you.’ It’s perfect to have him here.
    Matt Hughes wrote:Fitch and I do a lot of the same things on our feet and on the ground. I’ve watched some tape on Fitch and I think I’ve come up with a good game plan on what he’s going to do against BJ and that’s why I’m here. With BJ it’s all about if he’s got the mindset to go in there and take the win, he will win. It’s all in BJ’s mindset of what he wants to do. If he’s gonna go in there and try and trade some blows with him and this and that. then you don’t know what’s gonna happen. If BJ’s strong minded, he’s gonna get his hand raised at the end.

    I see very little way in which BJ can do anything to even come close to defeating Fitch, other than a quick flurry on the feet ala Penn- Hughes III.


    Fitch is going to assrape him all the way back to Hawaii.

    As much as I hate to say it I think fitch has got an easy pay day here. BJ isn't a 170 pounder and shouldn't be fighting there

    Ufc seem to have less fights where the result seem given beforehand these days, but this is, in my opinion, not one of them - Fitch is going to pummel and smother his way to a 3 round victory.

    Penn needs to start really fast in this one and come out swinging, because if Fitch starts landing TDs and wearing on him then I dont see how BJ can win.

    Fitch is too big. I think he'll knock Penn out.

    BJ has pretty good takedown defense and is no mug on the ground, and definatly has the striking advantage. Size and strenght goes to Fitch for sure though.


    50:50 fight in my book, although i see Fitch is a slight favourite with the bookies, although the odds really arent that tempting. I would stay well clear of this fight from a gambling point of view.
