LOS ANGELES -- Spencer Fisher has yet to be seriously viewed as a contender in the UFC's lightweight division, but the veteran says he is ready to face the best 155-pound fighter in the world, BJ Penn. First things first, though, Fisher must get by Joe Stevenson at UFC 104 on Saturday night. And while a win over Stevenson will probably not put him in the title mix yet, it would mark his fourth victory in a row over quality opponents.FanHouse spoke to Fisher about why he thinks he is ready to fight Penn and why he already knows what Stevenson will try to do to him on Saturday. Check out the video interview below.

I like Spencer and he's an exciting fighter, but it's LAUGHABLE to think that he's close to a title shot.
Also, Spencer's striking seems to have fallen off over the last 2-3 years. It might be the competition, but KOs just don't seem to come anymore.

spencer fisher has always came to fight and never layed on his opponents to work his way into contention. i hope he does well and i think he's a game opponent against anyone his size. i'd much rather see him against bj than some mini hulk wrestler who drags out fights into long boring matches. even if bj ko'd spencer in the first round, it'd still be exciting.
