BJ Penn vs Sean Sherk or Joe Stevenson @ UFC 79?

Since Florian just got a "win" over Thomas who was considered an upper rung LW that they fight him up the LW ladder and stop giving him newbie or mediocre fighters.

Since both are coming off wins within a few weeks of each other, I think Florian should fight Griffin next.

But, Cummo most likely cuts weight from the 180 range to make 170.

So Stevenson was beating guys at welterweight (at a higher weight class) when he was better suited for 155.

Where as Kenny couldn't hack it at 185, and had to drop 30 lbs to be competitive.

The guys at 185 also cut weight because it's better suited for them. joe has a diffrent build then kenny and the middleweight division if completly diffrent also. You can't compare the two to what weight class they faught in.
