Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by MMA Junkie writer and SI.com columnist Steven Marrocco.
Breen and Marrocco look ahead to UFC 127's headliner between B.J. Penn and Jon Fitch, and discuss whether or not the notion of the fight being a title eliminator is a legitimate one. The pair discuss the relationship between excitement and contendership inside the UFC, the viability of labeling fights as elimination bouts, and to what extent Penn and Fitch have changed and evolved in the recent past.
The two also discuss the strained relationships that the two headliners have had with Zuffa brass in the past, vegetarianism, athleticism, and potential pay-per-view buyrates.
