Dana White waiting for injuries to heal up before scheduling fights for B.J. Penn, Jon Fitch and Jake Shields

UFC President, Dana White has revealed that the promotion will wait for injuries to heal up on a number of key welterweight contenders before deciding who will face who next inside the octagon with the trio making an interesting dynamic at the top of the pile.
Speaking at the pre-UFC 131 press conference

“No, we don’t have anything yet. B.J.’s been calling (Shields) out, B.J.’s chomping at the bit to fight right now, he wants to fight. Right now that’s what we’re waiting on. As far as a lot of these fights go, guys that are injured, guys that are not, guys that are coming back, once all these guys heal up we’re going to have a crazy roster.”

Penn seems to have both men gunning for him after Fitch insisted he was one of only two men that makes sense for him to face right now and Shields repeatedly called out the man from Hawaii. Stay tuned to MMABay in the coming weeks for more build-up to this one as we get it.
