My biggest issue, really, is throwing Penn straight into the WW deep end immediately. Let him fight a few fights to get his legs under him at 170. Then consider putting him in title contention.

I don't think it makes sense to blast Penn this early. Let him transition into WW, not just dive into the deep end by fighting the #2 WW in the world. Give him some fights that are very winnable, let him get a few Ws at 170, while adjusting to the new weight class.
i agree, but after the first fight, this is the only thing that makes sense.
The first fight was a mistake and should've never happened, at least not this early. I had a bad feeling about it from the beginning. When Diego went down to LW, they obviously wanted him to fight for the title, but they gave him Stevenson first. It's not like they had him fight Maynard or Florian right off the bat.
I hope Fitch gets injured and someone else ends up filling in.
BJ Penn wants to fight the best guys or not at all.
Obviously he's motivated by something. Otherwise he wouldn't be doing it.
another loss for Tito , add the losing streak to 5 yearsQuote:
Tito is screwed. I can't imagine him winning that one.
Damn, that fight really sucks for Tito.
And honestly, I'm not interested in seeing Tito lose again. They need to give him someone he can beat just to turn the momentum in his direction a little.
^^^^^^^LOL who can he beat?
Someone with zero wrestling ability.
and Ken Shamrock.
What about Bonnar?
