There are some rumours floating around (supposedly with quite a bit of substance) that Robbie Lawler may be squaring off with BJ Penn at UFC 45. If I find out more information I'll post it.

What a great fight though...

Unless Robbie learns some defence, I am pretty sure B.J would own him

I'm not sure about ownage. I think both fighters would have a fight on their hands. I agree though, Lawler's fundamental weakness is his defense.

Wouldn't the size and strength advantage go to Lawler? I heard walks around at 185 and cuts weight. IMO, Lawler is too big for Penn.

I agree with MMAFAN, Lawler has been talking of moving up to 185, he's just to big for Penn. I think Lawler would KO him.

I don't know if he'd own him, but he'd definitely have an advantage as far as strength and size is concerned.

I'd rather see Penn stay in his own weight division. Just think of the potential matches:

Penn vs. Gomi (rumored to happen soon)
Penn vs. winner of Uno/Franca
Penn vs. Sudo
Penn vs. Ludwig
Penn vs. Hansen

As usual, you bring up some excellent points.

See, HERE is an even match up that could go either way! I do give the edge to penn though, even though Gomi is an animal, but he just had that loss and we don't where his mind is.
