Recent twitter posts by top welterweights Jon Fitch and BJ Penn have set the blogosphere ablaze today.
Consensus No. 1 contender Jon Fitch has tweeted that he would fight either Diaz or Penn at UFC 137.
Fitch, undefeated in his last six fights, has beaten each and every fighter Dana White has put in front of him except George St. Pierre and BJ Penn.
Fitch fought a heroic but ultimately unsuccessful five-round campaign against the Canadian champion at UFC 87 back in 2008, then fought to a draw with Penn at UFC 127 this past February.
Fitch has been criticized by some for his grinding fighting style, while others feel the UFC has unfairly passed him over for a rematch with St. Pierre.
Penn, who has held UFC championships in the Welterweight and Lightweight division, is known for taking tough fights and actively seeking rematches with those who have beaten or drawn him. Penn has just tweeted “Dana just offered me a deal I can’t refuse.pretty sure I’m still fighting on Oct. 29th.”
Has a rematch between these two fighters been set? Will Fitch face GSP again? Only time will tell.
