By: Michael Gawler

The first time these two men faced each other, Georges St. Pierre found victory in a controversial split decision. According to BJ Penn, he spent the hours following the fight at the bar while GSP was at the hospital. BJ and his fans felt he won this fight while the judges agreed with Georges and his fans that he won the fight. I personally believe that GSP did enough to earn the victory as well. However, this is an argument that has been ongoing for nearly 3 years. The good news is... Saturday night their gonna go at it again!!!
