Florian is about all that's left, and I don't see much of a challenge there. Hopefully the UFC brings in some new blood to challenge him. Also, I still think his accomplishments are right up there with St. Pierre & Anderson Silva anyway -- neither of whom would have an easy time with the best fighter a weight class higher than them.

I think it is in BJ's blood to want to be more than he really is, which means I don't think he'll ever really let this go, which sucks. BJ wants to be the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, any weight class, and destroy everybody. The truth is, guys like Anderson Silva and GSP are more 'there' than he has ever been. He could easily be the greatest lightweight if he keeps working at this. I think a guy like Dana White would be more supportive at letting Penn do what he wants if he was like GSP or Silva, and had proven that he can dispatch every challenger in his weight class and needs a new challenge. I also think BJ needs a new gameplan. He is far too arrogant. I love both fighters, but probably could live without seeing them tangle again.
