    BJ did go the distance in a tough fight with current UFC lightheavyweight champion Lyoto Machida at heavyweight no less!

    After a good right hand. I did say that I thought Alves would be the toughest match for Penn at welterweight.

    BJs always had good takedowns he just doesnt need them much. Kenny Florian rarely gets took down these days and when BJ finally got serious in that fight he picked him and up and slammed him like a rag doll.

    Yes and no. Guys like Alves, Fitch and Koscheck are serious fighters who GSP might dominate but BJ might not.

    I definitely think BJ beats Fitch. Alves and Kos would give him real battles due to their size and strength.

    I think Kos is a better fighter than Fitch. I know Fitch has a better record, but I think Kos would beat him if they fought.

    I think he'd be able to, but like others said, he'll bump heads with some top competetition.

    I think Alves and Kos beat him.
    Maybe guys like Semtex too if BJ dont take him down

    BJ may not dominate the division like GSP, but he'd definitely be in more exciting fights

    Whats the deal with Fitch?? Is this the same Fitch who barely eeked out a win vs. Diego? Who he outweighed by 20 lbs?

    Fitch = No Chance
