by Luke Thomas on Jan 13, 2009 3:54 PM EST in MMA News

"There is no better fight to launch UFC Primetime than Georges St-Pierre vs. BJ Penn...You have two of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in the world fighting each other when they are both in their prime, and are at the top of their game, and for the title. If you think about it, a fight like this only happens a few times in your lifetime."

-- Dana White, UFC President, making his case for why the rematch of Penn and St. Pierre is so epic in a press release issued today.

Choi'd!!!

Eliot Marshall: Bader won. Like I said in the episode, I'm not going to make any excuses. It's my job to be able to deal with when somebody's doing that. It's not his job to change up his tactics.

He’s really trying to amp the PPV sales on this one, eh?

There will be no excuses after this. Its literally to top 5 pound for pound fighters fighting in their prime at the peak of their ability, there is nothing more you could ask for, with exception of a moat with salt water crocs surrounding the cage but you cant have it all.

I just wanna see GSP take Penn out and fight Alves. I’ll be quite upset if Penn wins and I dont get to see this fight. Then the winner from that take on Ansderson Silva.
