UFC 94 Video: B.J. Penn-Georges St. Pierre 'An MMA Fan's Dream Come True'

In the above video, Joe Rogan refers to the UFC 94 main event of B.J. Penn vs. Georges St. Pierre as "a mixed martial arts fan's dream come true."

Unlike TV commentators in other sports, the UFC's announcers are employees of the UFC, so Rogan isn't quite an objective analyst. But I'd have to say I agree: This is just about as good as it gets for MMA fans.

Aside from Rogan's opening, the most interesting comment in the video comes from St. Pierre, who says, "I think I'm a better overall fighter than B.J. Penn. I think I'm more skilled."

That echoes what St. Pierre said before his last fight, against Jon Fitch. But while I thought St. Pierre was right about Fitch, I think he's wrong about Penn: Penn is really the more skilled mixed martial artist of the two, with his unique combination of excellent striking and world-class Brazilian jiu jitsu.

And yet I'm picking St. Pierre in this fight because I expect him to take advantage of his superior size, athleticism and conditioning. No matter who wins, though, Rogan is right that this fight is a dream come true.
