"I think Fitch is going to be very surprised when we lock up and grapple. I think he thinks that's going to be the easy part, but he's going to be surprised. I'm just kinda taking it in stride. I'm just going to go down to Australia and fight at 170, and after that, if Dana White has something interesting for me at 170 I'll take it, or if he's got something nice at 155, I'll take that too. I just want to fight as much as I can, stay busy, and, not that I'm going to quit anytime soon, but just finish my career trying to fight the best people possible."

Former UFC champion BJ Penn has a few surprises for opponent Jon Fitch as he heads into their UFC 127 main event on Feb. 27 in Sydney, Australia. "The Prodigy" made a successful return to the 170-pound weight class last November by stiffening Matt Hughes in the first round and now looks to turn the division on its head by eliminating Fitch from the welterweight title hunt. Can the Hawaiian overcome "the grind" and climb the division ladder? Or is he going to get buried in "The Outback?"
