BJ Penn is a very talented fighter. You can dislike his mouth and attitude, and I don't find those things very attractive myself.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, as you might find it), he has to eat a lot of Doritos and not do a lot of roadwork in order to get to welterweight size.
GSP has to cut a ton of weight to make the weight limit. And he does it well.
If genetic lottery made GSP a natural light weight, this might make a really good fight that I (educated guess) Penn might win. But...
GSP is in a heavier weight class, and while you can argue their individual skills and talents all you want (and that is a great discussion, but moot IMHO) GSP is either going to rip off an arm or make Penn into a life-size bobble-head doll.
That's a sure bet.![]()
