    Penn vs Fitch is a sick fight but I heard Fitch is fighting Ellenberger ? Siver is tough but that is a stepdown for George id rather see George in there with the KenFlo-Dunham winner.

    Agree with Jimmie, Sotiropoulos is now 7-0 in the UFC, with 5 finishes, he needs to start fight a real contender with a view to a title shot.

    Yup I dont see how Sotiropoulos can dominate Stevenson, Pellegrino, and Lauzon then have to fight a guy like Dennis Siver. No disrespect to Siver hes a solid fighter but a couple of fights ago he lost to Ross Pearson and dont forget his brutal loss to Melvin Guillard. This is a midlevel Lightweight meanwhile George has been dominating alot of B level caliber fighters. George should really only be about 1 or maybe 2 fights away from a title shot and IMO its hard to get a shot by beating Siver. He deserves a fight with the likes of Evan Dunham, Kenny Florian, Sean Sherk, or even the Miller-Olivera winner from next months PPV.

    Ho ho! This is more like it - A BJ fight in Sydney WILL have me thinking twice about going to Soundwave that day.

    I wana see Fitch laid out. I hate his Planet of The Apes ass.

    Sotiropoulos deserves a better fight. Maybe the loser of Henderson-Pettis. His next fight should definitely be for #1 contender status.

    Mate, same here, I've already got a ****ing soundwave ticket, and have missed Iron Maiden the other times they've played... But to see BJ Penn in action might be worth it!

    As for people's call on Sotiropoulos, Dana's obviously given him a glorified tune up for his home nation fight. He's definitely earned his stripes in the division and will have a tougher challenge soon enough.

    Its not the most mouth watering fight ever but it is pretty much the only match I'm interested seeing Fitch in right now.

    Siver is still a pretty damn dangerous tune up.
