The Prodigy, Bj Penn (16-7-2) was not too pleased as to how his game against Jon Fitch concluded. The Welterweight title eliminator main event match resulted into a majority draw after 3 rounds of solid brawl.
The former Lightweight and Welterweight champion came out strong with a couple of take downs and rear naked choke attempts in the 1st and 2nd round breaking Jon Fitch's nose. Yet, the latter managed to counter and nudge his position spoiling the former champ's submission attempts.
Both fighters had exchanged strikes in some occassions in the stand-up section but most of the hustles were done on the ground.
Jon Fitch has successfully pulled off an early take down early in round 3 and dominated Penn with a bunch of elbow strikes up until the bell rang. The Prodigy's wearing out was apparent he wasn't able to break out and overturn his position against the more agile Jon Fitch. Fitch won round 3 but squared the 1st and 2nd with Penn resulting into a majority Draw contest.
UFC commentator Joe Rogan solicited some thoughts from both Fighters and BJ Penn stated he would have thought of retirement if he lost but since he didn't, he agrees to a probability of a rematch later on. Penn's discontent of the outcome was not so subtle he quickly took off after answering Rogan's questions.
