“I’d feel okay facing anyone for the welterweight title,”, says BJ Penn on moving up a weight class from lightweight. “Jon Fitch is a great opponent, a tough opponent, but St. Pierre brings the whole backing of Canada with him to a fight. Fan base, this sport, it’s entertainment. It would be great to put on a big fight with me and St-Pierre, but then again, it’s about me fighting the best fighter and if Fitch goes down and proves he’s the best fighter, then he’s the man. I’m moving up to the welterweight division and moving down to defend the lightweight title.”
