The UFC has finally officially confirmed that BJ/GSP II will be the main event for their card on January 31st. THIS fight has me way more excited than Couture/Lesnar, Rashad/Forrest, Wand/Quinton 3, Mir/Nog, or any other upcoming MMA fight!!!!!

Personally I'm still more interested in Couture-Lesnar, and as for the other 3, I'll be there live and in person so that alone makes them extra exciting:)

GSP-Penn II is a great rematch though and I can't wait to see GSP beat him again, this time inside the distance.

Very nice poster, indeed. I'm excited for this match up and it should be a good one. Will this be for WW title or just a regular fight? If its a regular fight then I'm still excited for the match up. Hopefully both fighters bring their A game and give us an exciting fight.

Going to be a very competitive fight. I hope Penn takes it, that would make for an equally awesome Penn v GSP rubber match.

It will be for the WW title (like the poster says ;) )

For some reason this fight excites me less than any of those.

I agree with the pre-fight hype that the winner of this bout should be considered the #1 pound-for-pound MMA fighter. What do you guys think?

suppose BJ wins ...
then he just chills out couple of months ...
the Ken Florian somehow beats him ...

then who's the pound for pound king?

Fedor, of course!

Looks like the title situations could get even muddier...

One interesting tidbit of information to come out of the UFC 91 post-fight press conference on Nov. 15 was President Dana White’s response to a reporter’s question: “Will GSP or BJ [Penn] fight Anderson Silva after this fight?”

“I think if Georges St. Pierre wins this fight he’ll get Anderson Silva,” responded White. “Georges St. Pierre has the ability to beat Anderson Silva in a pound-for-pound title fight.”

Things are getting better and better...

Penn-JSP 2 is the best fight UFC can organize at the moment, and it is 5 times more exciting, if the winner if Penn-JSP 2 fights Anderson Silva.

Great job by UFC

If GSP wins he could get Silva, Dana has repeatedly said that BJ won't get a fight with Silva no matter what.

Oh shit... I' love to see Silva fight one of these two
