GSP - Penn Fight Pushed Back To '09

The highly-anticipated superfight between 155-lb champ BJ Penn, and 170-lb kingpin, George St. Pierre has been moved from the expected December PPV card to Superbowl Weekend in january '09. While this certainly cements one of the best possible match-ups in the sport's history, it will also serve to put the 155-lb title out of play for at least the next 6 months, and keep deserving contenders like Kenny Florian out of the mix. Still, this battle will be an intriguing rematch of a previous bout that saw GSP eek out a split-decision win. That bout was a 3-round non-title affair, but this will be a 170-lb championship of 5 rounds and should be a barnburner of a match-up!
