Bj Penn vs. Jens Pulver
I know its a bit early but why not what do you guys think about this fight?
this one could be a barn burner since this one is #2 for these guys what do you think?

I feel for Jens.
First he loses to a nobody, then he has to fight the #1 guy.

i want to see lil evil make a comeback, he needs to get his head right and not underestimate a dangerous opponent.

do we know for sure yet that BJ is dropping down?
if it happens, I think BJ takes this one in a somewhat dominating fashion.

He flip-flopped about it for a long time, but finally agreed to do it in order to coach on TUF5, which will culminate in BJ vs Jens.
I don't know what to say about this fight -- I'm a fan of both of these guys, but neither of them are firing on all cylinders these days. BJ needs to accept that the MMA world is passing him by and he's not the sure thing he once was. He needs to get a first class team together and train HARD -- go right back to the basics and get hungry. And with Jens, I know he wants it and he trains hard, but I've heard Pat Miletich say that Jens has a tendency to get down on himself and lose focus. After his last fight before returning to the UFC, he said he needed to go back to work on his ground game and remember that MMA isn't just boxing. So he comes in against Lauzon and gets knocked out -- rotten luck.
I think TUF5 will be good for both of these guys, and I hope they take advantage of it just like the contestants.

BJ will win this fight. Pulver will continue to have a difficult time getting a win again in the UFC since his comeback.
But I think this could be a very, very good fight. It has great potential to be a very exciting match.

I think part of Jens loss was Octagon Shock, He seemed really happy to just get back in the cage and with the level the UFC is at with the fans now it was probably a little much for a guy like him who feels it in his blood.
TUF should be good for him it was good for Tito and GSP and Matt and Chuck and all of um so traning with other guys for a few months straight should help him and BJ big time.

I think BJ will win this fight if he comes in shape..but if he doesn't then, Jens will win rounds 2 and 3. and Jens will win my decision.

I hope BJ pulls it off, because I like the guy, but I'm sick of hearing about him being the second coming and then not delivering in the ring. (Don't mention the rib thing, everyone else gets flamed for making excuses when they are injured during a fight, so BJ gets no special treatment).
So I hope he trains his ass of because I want to see the cat fight at Heavyweight in a year or two.

Oh, that definitely makes sense. I should've put two and two together.
Thanks sit.

BJ back at LW, I can't wait. I like Jens alot, but BJ wins this 1, but it will be an exciting fight, and then cruises to the LW belt. Of course, that all depends on how badly he really wants it. I really like the LW division, lots of exciting fighters, wish they'd push em a bit more, I'm getting kinda tired of the stale LHW and HW divisions (not including the coming of Rampage and CroCop)

Yeah, I'm excited about BJ vs Sherk for the belt. That'll be a great fight.
