There's the "poor man" option that I use: Youtube will have the fight up within about 48 hours.

Yeah there's some big fights coming. BJ Penn vs George St Pierre. I don't think that fight would even be happening if it weren't for the fact that it's the one loss that BJ hasn't been able to avenge in his UFC career. It think George won the fight, but BJ definitely messed him up pretty bad.

Have a crazy idea that's too late in coming: BJ should train with Brock Lesnar. Brock has almost no ju-jitzu and BJ could train him up on that. BJ is about to fight GSP -- someone so powerful that he can pretty much takedown anyone in his weight division at will. If BJ were to practice takedown defense again a monster like Brock, maybe he'd be able to stuff GSP's takedowns. That is the one reason that BJ is probably going to lose the upcoming fight -- GSP has learned that fighting BJ standing up is a recipe for disaster. I don't think BJ can stop GSP from taking him down. George is a LOT more powerful than he was in their first fight.

Ah the memories of UFC 1. Clueless referee. Clueless announcers. Everyone in the world was surprised at how bad strikers without any cross training did. The boxer in question was taken down in the first minute by none other than Joyce Gracie.
