UFC lightweight champion BJ Penn tells FOX Fight Game that he'd consider a rematch with Georges St. Pierre but in the meantime, he's focusing on defending his own title.

"I realize I'm the lightweight champion, you know, and I gotta defend that thing," Penn told me during a satellite interview from Honolulu.

He didn't however rule out a rematch with Georges St. Pierre, basically saying that Vasoline-gate might compel the welterweight champion to meet him again in the Octogon. "He says he's a proud champion, and all," said Penn.
