WHY DOESN'T PENN GET A THRID FIGHT

They announcing ST. PIERRE vs HUGHES 3..Why not do a Hughes vs. Penn 3 and winner advance to St. Pierre..

Hughes got Demolished last fight!!

Hughes has earned his immediate rematch...But I agree, it would be cool to have BJ in the mix here.

exactly.

while GSP is busy fighting Serra..have penn/Hughes fight with the winner getting title shot.

After watching that old grapplers quest it makes me pissed that BJ refuses to reach his full potential. He is a REAL LIFE Gohan.

Why not do a Hughes vs. Penn 3 and winner advance to St. Pierre..

I would guess that Hughes had an "immediate rematch" clause in his contract, but I could very well be wrong.

Or they might be having contract issues with Penn...

Can you imagine BJ if he had Diego Sanchez's pace/cardio?

i am sick of all these rematches

This plays out alot of ways. (1) Hughes - gsp #3. (2) Should bj be next or should he have to win a fight then get a shot. (3) Diego wins he gets the winner of gsp - hughes #3 for sure. (4) Diego gets beat were does that put riggs at 170? He would be 4-1 at 170. Lot of good fighters at 170 in the ufc......Diaz can hold his own against anyone........Lotta shit can happen.....WHAT IF SERRA WINS.............

"Can you imagine BJ if he had Diego Sanchez's pace/cardio?"

Can you imagine if Diego had BJ's natural talent and skill set?

I don't think Hughes vs Penn3 would be possible before a rematch with GSP anytime soon for a couple of reasons. First off, I don't know how long it will be before Penn recovers fully from his injuries. He definitely doesn't want to go into another fight with Hughes unless he's in 100 percent shape. Also, if rumors on mmaweekly are true he may very well be the coach of TUF 5 opposite Pulver with a lw match between the 2 on the finale so his focus and time would be on that fight I'd imagine.

"Can you imagine if Diego had BJ's natural talent and skill set?"

Yeah but one is doable and the other is not. Cardio can be increased in a yr but becoming a natural phenom cant.

It doesn't make much sense to have BJ fight Hughes and then, if he wins, get another shot at GSP. Penn has only faced two guys in the entire division, and he has losses to both of them.

BJ needs to take a step down and get a win or two under his belt. Also, isn't he rumored to be returning to the LW division?

After TUF 1 Bobby Southworth said Diego had the potential to reach BJ's level. Bobby has trained with BJ since white belt.

BJ is dropping to 155 to set up BJ/Pulver 2

BJ/Sherk would be ridiculous.

They do the rubber matches too quickly. They should let them build more and let the guys have some more time in between.

"WHAT IF SERRA WINS.............??????"

That's a big "IF"

How about we see if Penn can beat any other top fighters at 170, before he gets another shot at the title.

lol @ Me wanting to see penn and hughes again.
