I really can't see the Diaz/Penn fight being stopped inside the distance. Both guys are impervious to punishment and can't be subbed. Only BJ's gas tank could cause a stoppage, but Diaz isn't going to wear BJ down with wrestling and clinching.
Diaz could very well lose by cut stoppage.
Triple-six killers in this motherfucker runnin shit
yeah i agree with diaz potentially losing by cut stoppage. Though that is probably unlikely in a 3 rounder. I thought his "new face" was holding up pretty well. I don't really know though. GSP by decision is a good bet also. Condit might be able to stop him though. He is wild and crazy. There is no telling what can happen with that guy.
UFC president Dana White has already stated that the new UFC 137 main event between BJ Penn and Nick Diaz will not be a five-round fight because, as he put it, "they haven't trained for five rounds."
However, Diaz's manager and trainer wants the world to know that Diaz is ready and willing to go five rounds with "The Prodigy" on Oct. 29.
"If they can't fight five rounds against each other, how are they going to fight five rounds against GSP?," Gracie said to MMAFighting.com on Tuesday.
Gracie said he told White that Diaz wanted to change the fight to a five-rounder but had yet to hear back from Penn's camp. After speaking to Gracie, both White and Penn could not be immediately reached for comment.
"Dana is good with it," he said. "We've agreed to it. If BJ agrees to it, we'll make it happen."
Gracie added that there was no hesitation on Diaz's part to agree to a five-round fight after hearing the news of GSP's injury and subsequent removal from the card.
"These guys have to prove they are ready. These guys are fighters. BJ has always said he's a warrior. ... The old school days of MMA, back when it was NHB, they fought forever.
"Don't be scared, homie. Let's make it five rounds."
