Jon Fitch out of UFC 132 fight with BJ Penn
Well as a huge fan of Penn i'm disappointed he won't get another shot at one of the top welterweights in the division, but it did seem as the consensus among fans that they did not want to see this rematch. Personally I wouldn't of minded seeing it, a lot of people had written off Penn as the element of surprise game plan of taking down Fitch has been exposed, but I've compared it to Machida and Rua's first fight and how it was thought that there was no way Machida would lose a rematch even though Rua may have exposed some weaknesses. No details have been released to what sort of injury Fitch has sustained but it's serious enough as their fight wasn't to take place till July 2nd, also no word on a new opponent for BJ or if the fight will just be re-booked for a later date..if it is the former I wonder what the availability of Koscheck (injury), Alves (fighting April 30th) and Condit (rumoured matchup against Dong Yung Kim) are?
