BJ Penn lost lol. It’s hard to believe that a mixed martial artist of Penn’s caliber can drop a decision twice. What’s more surprising is that Frankie Edgar got the takedown several times. Let me remind you that even GSP and his amazing crotch-power had trouble UFC 94.
Dare I say it. I am impressed. And as for Penn, I’m telling you he’s blowing chunks. He’s gotta be frustrated, having lost quite clearly to Edgar. No sinus infection to blame tonight. I wonder what’s next for him. He’s certainly not in the picture for a lightweight title shot. He’ll probably have to climb the ladder again: go against contenders and *gulp* up-and-comers. Man it’s going to be weird seeing Penn having to make the rounds again. But hey! Now he’ll be able to fight Takanori Gomi. I want to see Penn vs. Gomi 2 happen. It’s perfect. Penn is going down. Gomi is coming up. Plus, Gomi showed that he could still punch after his face-first knockout over Tyson Griffin.
Not Pictured: Kenny Florian
Gray Maynard’s probably quite satisified as well. He beat out Kenny Florian by sitting on him most of the fight. I remember thinking earlier today, “I hope Maynard wins tonight. He’ll do great against Penn when he gets back the title.” I lol thinking back on this moment. Maynard is also probably loling right now. He’s the only guy to blemish Edgar’s near-perfect record and he’ll walk in later to challenge Frankie for the belt.
UFC 123 card was just stacked, really cool fights. And the B.J Penn against Mat Hughes was over almost before it even started. Flawless victory by BJ Penn. Phil Davis showed his expertice and won again. This time with a submission. Really enjoyed the card, what did you think ?
GSP is now tied with Hughes for most WW title defenses. He should def stick around to fight Shields, who is on a 15 fight win streak. That should be another win for GSP and then he has fought everyone of note except Conduit and Kampmann. I think he’ll probably fight like 3 or 4 more times at WW, set the bar really high for title defenses and then move up.
UFC 125 main event was BS, the judges ruin the damn fight everytime !!
