Yes GSP face was marked up,does't mean he dominated,more the glancing blow that broke his nose,hardly dominante!
that is why they shud have a rematch.the way GSP won wasnt expected at all.everyone thought gsps best chance to win was by standing up coz bjs ground game is excellent.as far as i know hes the only american whove won a WJJC!it was a surprised gsp chose to go to the ground..against fitch who is known for his ground game,he opted to stand up knowing hes the better striker..but against bj he didnt.why?and man.gsp won by split D.3 rounds and a split D?something shoulda be settled. and pls look how he prayed before the decision is announced.he knows its fwucken close!
Its really funny how only BJ Penn fans found that fight close!
I wouldn't say that. I'm a fan of GSP's. I work in Quebec though I live in Ottawa. He's a great fighter, but his fight with BJ was close. The difference for GSP was the takedowns and leg kicks. For BJ, the reason it was kept close was because of the cut/unintentional eyepoke. The shot that crunched GSP's nose also swayed the verdict because GSP had problems seeing and breathing all fight long.

I think the rematch won't be as close. GSP will beat him much more decisively.
