    1.GSP is not afraid to fight on his feet(I'm not saying Fitch is elite on his feet)

    2.GSP have a good chin, he got caught on a couple of good punch by Fitch(I've never doubted his chin, but a lot did because of the Serra 1 when he was clearly caught behind the ear)..

    3.His mental is normal, and Serra was a fluke, really.

    4. GSP is a great striker, not the BEST of MMA, but he is great in my opinion.

    5. Him and BJ Penn, have the best takedown defence of 155-170.


    6. Fitch is one mother****er with a great beard and a great will.


    7. Brock Lesnar is arrogant, I dont mind it, but he is..He was very strong, his boxing is shaky, but he seem to have power. He fought an intelligent fight.


    8. Florian wont give a lot of problem to Penn in my opinion, I think that Huerta would have give him more.


    Feel free to add your opinions and to argue mines!:good

    I don't think GSP chin was tested this fight, other then that I agree with most of what you said. Brock is a monster, I saw fear in the eye of herring

    Agree with everything but the last point.

    How do you think Huerta will pose more of a problem than Florian? If Florian can handle Huerta that easily, then BJ would run through him in a round, 2 tops.

    Fitch does have one hell of a chin I thought he was gone a couple of times but had great recovery.

    And saying Brock's boxing was shaky? I didn't know he had any at all let alone drop Herring with a nice shot. He needs to work on finishing more then anything.

    And I don't see anyone at 155 giving Penn problems.

    no 8.. None of these guys will pose any threat to Penn..Like Penn said when he leaves..Sean Sherk will dominate that weightclass.

    Truthfully, BJ will laugh at Florians leg kicks..Kenny might actually hurt his shins hitting BJs melon.. No threat whatsoever..if Huerta can escape Florians mount..hahahaha please

    I'm not saying that Florian or Huerta would beat BJ, no, but that I thing Huerta's toughness, would make it better vs Penn than Florian.

    One small observation: I dont think GSP would do well as 185, he's not big enough imo.

    I agree with most of your points - except that Heurta wouldn't make it through the first round with BJ Penn.

    I also noticed Fitch seemed a fair bit bigger then GSP, jumping to 185 might be too much at this point....maybe in a few years when he get's bigger naturally.

    I can't argue much with your post. It is too well thought out.
    Certainly, GSP's chin was tested by a bigger fighter tonight and
    he took those shots and returned fire like a champ. I don't think
    Penn should fight Georges now. GSP is just too strong and his
    skill is improving exponentially. Penn should rule at 155 and GSP
    at 170. I know money talks and the fight will happen but Penn
    is too small. A good big man ALWAYS beats a good little man.
