GSP after beating Fitch will take on BJ Penn

The life of a champion comes with many challenges including a seemingly never-ending list of opponents. It appears Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight kingpin Georges St. Pierre already has his next challenger laying in wait for him.

Following an exciting night of fights at UFC 87, company president Dana White confirmed to the media in attendance that current lightweight champion B.J. Penn would move back up to 170 pounds to face St. Pierre, with most speculation landing the bout on the UFC’s big year-end event in late December.

“They both really want that fight, they both want to fight each other,” said White during the UFC 87 post-fight press conference. “I’m going to let that fight happen and then I’ll figure out what we’re going to do at 155.”

White said “definitely” that St. Pierre’s next challenge would come from Penn, but despite rumors circling that the fight could take place in the champion’s hometown of Montreal, White responded, “probably not.”

St. Pierre, who adamantly stated that he would not duck any deserving challenger, seemed more than content to put his welterweight championship on the line with Penn.

“I want to be a real champion, I want to be the best in the world,” St. Pierre stated. “And to be the best in the world you need to fight the best in the world and I want to give a shot to everybody that deserves it. B.J. Penn deserves it, he’s an incredible fighter.”

Penn was said to be seen in the crowd at UFC 87 cheering on St. Pierre during his title defense against Jon Fitch. St. Pierre currently holds a win over Penn in 2006 via split decision.

St. Pierre mentioned during the press conference that many fighters, including Thiago Alves and EliteXC welterweight champion Jake Shields, as challengers that have also called him out recently, but Penn will get the next crack at the title.

“This is a big fight and they both want it and I think everybody wants to see it,” said UFC president Dana White about the upcoming bout between St. Pierre and Penn.

Jon Fitch never gave in during his 25-minute battle with UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre, so Fitch wasn't about to shirk any of his fight-night responsibilities. In the opening minutes of the post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White stated there's no way that Fitch would be attending. They were sending Fitch to the hospital. Fifteen minutes later, Fitch, looking like he'd been run over by a truck, strolled into the presser. Look at that face by Jon Fitch!! scary! why he didn't wear sun glasses?

St. Pierre retained his UFC belt in his most impressive performance, battering Fitch and turning his face into a mass of welts and contusions, in a one-sided unanimous decision.

St. Pierre won by scores of 50-44 twice and 50-43 in a stunningly brilliant exhibition of MMA fighting.

Jon Fitch looking for an upset against St-Pierre

Fitch enters UFC 87 as a 28 percent underdog, according to the betting odds at Bodog. While the American Kickboxing Academy product has ousted numerous ranked welterweights in his path to a title shot, on paper, there isn’t one area where the challenger holds a clear-cut advantage over the multi-faceted St. Pierre.

“I’m not a gifted person,” Fitch said in a video interview with MMAJacked. “I don’t have any natural attributes. I’m a regular guy who just busts his (expletive) to get where he is.”

UFC 87 is in many ways a proving ground for both fighters: a test of whether St. Pierre can truly carry the mantle as the undisputed king of his division, or whether Fitch can achieve that indefinable quality that would make him more just than just a face in one of the UFC’s most crowded fight divisions.

Dana White had publicly stated that Jon Fitch was the number one contender for the Welterweight title.

Jon Fitch will be putting his sterling 17-2 record on the line when he takes on one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world in St. Pierre. Fitch is undefeated in his eight UFC fights, most recently scoring a unanimous decision victory against Chris Wilson at UFC 82 - Pride of a Champion. He has beat some very solid competition during his stint in the UFC, including Thiago Alves, Josh Burkman and Diego Sanchez. That's an impressive resume, and Fitch is surely deserving of a shot against Georges St. Pierre.

Jon said he's super excited, this is the biggest fight of his career. He wants to fight the one of the best in the world. His style fits well with GSP.

A product of American Kickboxing Academy, Fitch was awarded his Guerilla jiu-jitsu black belt by Dave Camarillo, the founder Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Jon Fitch will have his work cut out for him, and you have to assume that St. Pierre will be a major favorite in this match-up.

Preview: George St-Pierre vs. Jon Fitch

noreply@blogger.com (Admin Post) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:57:00 +0000

UFC 87 "Seek and Destroy" main event will feature the reigning Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre versus the no.1 contender Jon Fitch.

This will be St. Pierre's first Welterweight title defense since recapturing the title from Matt "The Terror" Serra at UFC 83.

He is thought by many to be the second best pound-for-pound fighter in the world behind Anderson "Spider" Silva. St. Pierre has a 16-2-0 lifetime professional MMA record, with his two losses coming against Matt Hughes at UFC 50 - The War of '04 and Matt Serra at UFC 69 - Shootout. In both cases, St. Pierre avenged his losses, thrashing Matt Hughes at both UFC 65 and 79 and Matt Serra at UFC 83 - Serra vs. St. Pierre II. St. Pierre seems to be getting better with every match-up - his last three matches have been extremely one-sided affairs, where he was never in any real danger of losing.

St. Pierre will try to break the 15-game winning streak of Fitch, last 8 win inside the Octagon. Fitch last fight was a decision over Chris Wilson at UFC 82.
