    I must have missed the big Penn fight that would shoot him past GSP.

    REED Doesn't Get it Either...

    Not Only has GSP BEATEN BJ, but it Wasn't Even All that Close Either, if REED's Not Mistaken...

    It was close. Penn won the first round and GSP won the next 2. Still I would rank GSP above Penn as well.

    It was close enough to be a split decision. And it was also at 170 pounds.

    And remember this is a P4P ranking. Penn is clearly a better fighter at 155. He hasn't lost at 155 pounds in over 6 years. However, GSP was stopped at his ideal weight by Serra just over a year ago.

    To me, at his best weight, Penn is just the more dominant guy. That being said, if GSP handles Finch next month, he'll likely move ahead of Penn in my rankings.

    Again, subjective stuff, but that's my rationale.. Next you'll need me to make a case for moving Griffin into my top 5..
