UFC welterweight contender, Jon Fitch has revealed that he wants his rematch with former lightweight champion, B.J. Penn for his next fight inside the octagon, explaining it would be dumb of either of the to take another opponent at this point before they settle the score once and for all. Speaking via ESPN, Fitch said:
“It’s the best fight for each of us. I think it would be dumb for either of us to take a fight with anybody else but each other before we settle it.”
“Either me or BJ would love to just fight the winner of Jake [Shields] and [Georges St-Pierre], but I think it’s realistic that if Jake wins that fight, that there will be a rematch. And if GSP wins that fight, he only fights a couple times a year. So he’ll probably take a break, and there will be time for [Penn and me] to fight. If GSP moves up to fight Anderson [Silva], there’s still time for him to do that and me and BJ to fight.”
The two men first squared off at UFC 127 in February, battling to a majority draw after three hard rounds. The interesting thing about this one was both men could make a good case for winning the fight under the current scoring system, leaving many, including UFC colour commentator Joe Rogan, to call for change.
