even if they wanted to switch it to a 5-rounder, penn would NEVER agree to that lol. he knows exactly how it would turn out.

best case scenario IMO would be gsp's injury lastling longer than expected, diaz beating penn, & then diaz vs condit for the title shot when gsp heals up.

bj has a had a new training regiment, not to mention his diet has improved and his cardio is alot better then a few years bacc..

but also bj has been training for a 3 round fight not 5...so that could be a weakness for penn as of now, we all know diaz trains like crazy and is in the gym all the time for every fight...

Cesar Gracie to BJ Penn: 'Don't Be Scared, Homie. Let's Make It Five Rounds'

UFC president Dana White has already stated that the new UFC 137 main event between BJ Penn and Nick Diaz will not be a five-round fight because, as he put it, "they haven't trained for five rounds."

However, Diaz's manager and trainer Cesar Gracie wants the world to know that Diaz is ready and willing to go five rounds with "The Prodigy" on Oct. 29.

"If they can't fight five rounds against each other, how are they going to fight five rounds against GSP?," Gracie said to MMAFighting.com on Tuesday.

Gracie said he told White that Diaz wanted to change the fight to a five-rounder but had yet to hear back from Penn's camp. After speaking to Gracie, both White and Penn could not be immediately reached for comment.

"Dana is good with it," he said. "We've agreed to it. If BJ agrees to it, we'll make it happen."

Gracie added that there was no hesitation on Diaz's part to agree to a five-round fight after hearing the news of GSP's injury and subsequent removal from the card.

"These guys have to prove they are ready. These guys are fighters. BJ has always said he's a warrior. ... The old school days of MMA, back when it was NHB, they fought forever.

Im joe jackson mad about them putting Tavares-Jacoby on the PPV over Jorgensen-Curran. Or at least move the Tavares fight to Spike and put Siver-Cerrone on the PPV.
WEC never die
