Penn wants to fight St. Pierre
LAS VEGAS » Hilo's B.J. Penn has his sights set on Georges St. Pierre.
Asked about the matchup at the post-fight news conference on Saturday, UFC president Dana White said there is one more interesting fight for Penn in the 155-pound ranks, presumably the winner of an August bout between Kenny Florian and Roger Huerta.
But White said he would not dismiss a Penn-St. Pierre rematch, prompting Penn to clap his hands. St. Pierre, meanwhile, has to get past No. 1 welterweight contender Jon Fitch.
St. Pierre won a split decision at 170 pounds when they met in March 2006.
