BJ Penn will be facing Jon Fitch at UFC 127, and talk about fighters who are complete opposites. Fitch likes to take people down and try to pound them out or submit them while BJ Penn usually will stand with his opponent. Penn usually finishes his fights while Fitch will usually ends up grinding out a win. Penn is extremely hard to take down while Fitch has taken down many opponents much to their dismay.
For either one to win they must be better than the other at their strengths and not try to get better at the others strengths I believe. Penn must keep it standing and pound Fitch out not try to take Fitch down and risk himself being taken down. Fitch must take BJ Penn down and grind out a victory, cause I don't see him knocking Penn out or outclassing him with kick boxing but maybe he could use some clench work and put Penn against the fence like others have and neutralize his abilities.
So, who can administer their game plan the best should be able to pull this one off. Who will do this?
I am going with Penn, even though Fitch has made many fighters look silly, I believe that Penn's training with Matt Hughes will be enough and along with his entire skill set.
May the best fighter win!
