Caol Uno wants In for Dynamite

And he says he doesn`t want just a fluff fight, but a serious opponent. http://ca.c.yimg.jp/sports/sn2004120616362500004616t1/sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/fight/pict/200412/thumb_im00004616.jpg

I was just about to start a thread about this. Damnit boobies you beat me to it.

This week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that K-1 are working on putting together a Caol Uno and BJ Penn rematch.

Oh man, that would be cool.

I was just reading headlines here, but now you mention BJ they do mention him down in the third paragraph. Hope they pull it off as I`ll be there :-)

Will be interesting to see what weight they're both at if this fight comes off. Surely Penn would have a pretty hefty weight advantage thses days. And it's not like K-1 seem particularly bothered about matching people up evenly in that respect.

That would be great, having Uno at Dynamite. But I don't want to see a Penn rematch honestly.
The weight difference would probably be too big and Penn has proven he is one of the best fighters p4p atm so imo he would more or less run through Uno.
Uno vs. Bang if he trains MMA and can make weight would be cool...

Given the weight difference, Penn's form of late and the way Uno was sparked out by Hermes Franca I really can't see Uno winning this one if it happens. It's very unlikely Penn will be as subdued as he was in their second fight, although I think it's even more unlikely we'd see a repeat of their first. If this goes ahead I'll pick Penn by TKO in the second.
