Penn and Fitch fight to Draw

BJ Penn looked great in the first two rounds but couldn't sustain in the third as Fitch came back with a big round to earn the draw with BJ.  It was a tough draw for BJ who should have won the fight as he was controlling it soundly.  The potential for a rematch is high although Dana White thought Penn clearly won.  If Jake Shields beats GSP then Penn might get the shot at Jake for the title and GSP vs Fitch for top contendor.  If GSP wins then maybe Fitch vs Penn for the title and GSP moves up to 185.  Lots of possibilities for Penn and Fitch at welterweight.  I think ultimately Penn should move back down to lightweight or even down further to 145 for a fight with Jose Aldo and a chance to become the first 3 division champion in UFC history.  I think the Aldo fight would be the biggest motivation for Penn and that's what he needs right now is a challenge.
