Georges St. Pierre Wants Time Off. BJ Penn Fight Moving To 2009?
August 13th, 2008
Ever since Georges St. Pierre lost his title defense to Matt Serra over a year ago, GSP has been working non-stop to restore his claim as the undisputed welterweight champion in the world. After finally getting over the hump of his first successful title defense at UFC 87, GSP has accomplished that goal.

After Georges St. Pierre turned in another dominating performance on Saturday night, the monumental rematch with UFC Lightweight Champion BJ Penn is no longer a question of if, its a question of when and where. Early rumblings had it on the New Year’s eve card, which has traditionally been held in Las Vegas. However, last week, rumors of the UFC holding another event in Montreal before year’s end started to spread, and of course, speculation that GSP vs. BJ Penn II would headline such an event quickly followed.
