Jon Fitch injured, forced to withdraw from UFC 132 matchup with B.J. Penn

Jon Fitch's road to the UFC welterweight title just got a little bit longer.

An undisclosed injury has forced Fitch (23-3-1 MMA, 13-1-1 UFC) to withdraw from a planned UFC 132 meeting with former champion B.J. Penn (16-7-2 MMA, 12-6-2 UFC).

Ahhh, seems like I jumped the gun with Condit/Penn. Hope that happens instead.

Would like to see either Penn/Sanchez II or Penn/Condit. Preferably the latter.

I mean, outside of favoritism.

No real reason in particular. He's not that far down in the ranks is he? 5 or 6? I guess I just figured he'd want to step up and try and get himself right back in the chase. Plus I'd just really like to see the fight myself. I think Penn stands a much better chance against Kos than he does Fitch.

I'd probably (realistically), lean more toward Condit than Koscheck or Sanchez though.

Plus Condit's already looking for the fight -

As would I...with BJ's focus being on standup and takedown defense...
