Thoughts?

Heck of a good fight. GSP really did steal the show however. Even in Penn's inital round where he preformed his best, he was by and large simply defending well.

GSP really came in with a solid game plan and excellent fitness. I swear, he still looks like he's getting better. I know Penn went up in weight for this fight, but skill wise he was really out fought by GSP.

I think Penn will do better dropping back to his natural weight. I'm not sure that, for right now, GSP is going to get knocked off the top of the mountain. That weight class might be his to dominate for awhile.

Great fight and as always Greg Jackson put together a great game plan.

Hopefully, I'll get to see a replay of this fight. I've read, and heard some reports, and it was GSP just pretty much dominating Penn.

ST. Pierre once again defeated his opponent we they were the best. In this case he took Penn down passed his guard and punished him with strikes.

Penn has filed for an investigation, as they feel that Pierre may have been "greased up."

Hmm, crazy. At any rate, it'll set up the rematch. Hughes even chimed in on GSP feeling greasy. I wouldn't think that GSP would do something like that. Perhaps he is just naturally slippery?

Perhaps he is just naturally slippery?

I could believe this some guys I wrestled against in high school when they begain to sweat it was like a natural oil or something. Most definatly more slipery than the average person.
