On October 29th, at UFC 136, BJ Penn will be
facing Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Nick Daiz at 170. This fight can be
the best fight of the year. Honestly, BJ Penn and Nick Diaz, both are great
strikers with great Boxing and high caliber Jiujitsu Black Belts. Both have
wins from knockouts and from submissions. Due to their high level of Jiujitsu,
I think this fight will be won on the feet. BJ has awesome wrestling and
takedown defense, but Nick, when taken down is almost as dangerous as when in
top position.
As the bell rings and the fighters meet in the center of
the octagon, both square off with their trademark Boxing Stances. In my
opinion, whoever gets the best of the stand up will dictate the pace of the
fight. On the ground, I think it would be a battle for positioning rather than
for submissions. Both are so talented, on the ground, it would be a near
stalemate.
Let’s just hope, Nick keeps with this fight and actually
shows up.
