Penn on Ortiz and Machida fight

Getting a fighter's perspective on an upcoming battle is always a treat and very insightful, especially if he has taken on one of the competitors. That's why when BJ Penn was asked at a UFC presser about his thoughts on Tito Ortiz versus Lyoto Machida, whom he fought once before, it is intriguing to hear his response.
"I think Tito's got to do his game...it looks like Tito's prepared to take him down and not get swept over really easy on the ground, so I'm sure he's going to be looking out for those things and push him against the fence and elbow him", notes Penn. "And if Machida has an answer for that then Machida will do well, if not it should be Tito."

Penn fought to a draw against Machida in March 2005.
