Guest baseball25 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Posted December 13, 2009 After that ass kicking he gave diego
mat Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 I didn't get to see the fight (past by bedtime) but from what I read Penn handled him pretty well. I know Diego's a fighter but I really haven't been super impressed with his recent fights. I did get to see a couple of the earlier fights, I thought Clay would have fought Floren better than he did.It does appear Penn is taking it more serious than he has in the past and he may be at his best. I don't know if this win would earn him #1 PFP. There's still Silva, GSP and that other big guy, I hate to mention his name because it usually ends up with 20 post debate.
HoopInsider_Cooper Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 [font=Courier]I saw it...Not a Penn fan at all and thought Nightmare had a chance but was impressed. But we know who the best in the world is! Doesn't have 8 legs but he is THE SPIDER.[/font]
hughesfan Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 BJ dominated that entire fight. He is not the best pound for pound guy IMO, but he's in the top 5 for sure.Diego looked like he did not what to do. He could not take him down and BJ was way faster than he expected with the hands. I agree with BJ, I think now we should all stop using he "cardio" slam against him. He has gone the distance or at least the 4th round in his last three title defenses and won handily against three good guys in Sherk, Florian and now Sanchez.
Gabe Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Didn't GSP make Penn look like a fool not that long ago?
Guest baseball25 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Yeah he did but it was at 170 pounds, penn fights at 155 thats his normal fight weight, its tough to put that much weight on and then step in the ring with GSP
mat Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 True. GSP needs to move up. No one is his devision can touch him.I did finally watch the Penn Sanchez fight and Penn was dominating, never seamed to tire.

Gabe Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 Point is you can't be the best in the world if you have lost twice to someone. Silva is the best in the world.

Guest baseball25 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 He lost bec he fought in a different weight class manny pacquiau has 3 losses and he's pfp best in world
setxathlete14 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 i vote GSP vs Silva.then the winner is the best in the world. penn got dominated by GSP cant blame it on weight because im sure he didnt have to gain anything.
Guest baseball25 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Why can't you blame it on the weight lol when he fights at 170 he's not the same fighter at 155 he's slower and out of shape at 170 seems like it takes a toll on him in my opinion
UT#1 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 rumors are floating around faber may move up to 55 to fight penn whats eberybody think about this? i think it would be the best fightas far a challenge for bj out there
Guest baseball25 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 He dominated faber florian is the 2nd best fighter in the divison and look what penn did dana already said penn has one more fight and then he would let penn move up to 170 but has to fight a contender before he fights gsp again
mat Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Faber needs to be in the UFC and it would be fight I would love to see.
hughesfan Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 I agree with baseball, I think that Penn is too good for his class and needs to move up. I mean he cuts weight to hit 155, not much but he does cut. He has had success earlier at 170, I also agree about wanting to see Faber fight in the UFC, but he is not even the LW champ in the WEC so that won't probably happen any time soon.
