Hell yeah Frankie my new boy. Anybody that beat bj penn is my boy. :rotflmao:

 

I actually thought this rematch was gonna be different, i was thinking BJ was gonna put on a show. But he was a joke, when they were announcing them, i knew this was gonna be a sorry ass fight. BJ looked like he just did not want to be there and the same was after every round, looked like a zombie. Gotta love how Frankie took down The Prodigy with such ease. How about the 1st round slam and 4th round leg sweep. :headbang:

 

When BJ fought against Diego Sanchez he was all pumped looked like he wanted to rip him apart, this dude is a joke, this is why i cant stand BJ Penn, the so called prodigy. Dude can kiss my ass.

 

Congrats to Frankie Edger.

Congrats to Randy Couture getting his black belt.

I like Edgar as a person, main reason i have to cheer for the guy. Humble, not a cocky dickweed like BJ, and a pretty decent fighter.

 

Honestly, i cant see anybody really beating this guy at 155 right now. Maynard has a good chance, but I think Frankie has grown up a lot since

their first fight, and has really improved his game. He is quick, and excutes his game plan perfectly.

 

 

As for Penn, never have like him and still dont like him. Has to make bullshit excuses when he loses, and talks way to much for me.

I think Frankie sucks and so does BJ. They both looked terrible.

 

 

Thats the stupidest thing I've read in a while. A former champ and a current champ fought 2X. But whatever, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, yours is just retarded.

Can you honestly say that it was a good fight? Did BJ even look like he wanted to be there? Did Frankie do much more than punch the air and move around really fast?

 

Sure, he had a couple take downs but that's it. The guy is beyond boring. Look at his record, he is a non-finisher. 8 decisions out of 13 wins. And he is our UFC LW Champion? That's really pathetic. The guy isn't good at anything. His standup lacks everything but speed and his ground game lacks everything but a take down. His ground and pound is weak and he has no power in his punches.

 

BJ was slow and sluggish. He looked beaten after the first round and what little attempt he did make to do something was far too late. This is the guy we call the best LW ever? That's also pathetic.

 

Call it what you want, but I call it like I see it. I am looking at the BIG picture, not just 25 minutes of wasted time while I watched this fight.

Good win for Frankie.

The sad thing is Toneys (so called) fight got all the publicity.

 

 

Agreed, he has to beat Maynard though. Their first fight Maynard looked friggin enormous compared to Frankie and looked to be the better wrestler as well. Thats gonna be a tough fight. Oh, Toney was just looking for some green. The fat fuck.

I am not sure why Edgar got the title shot to begin with. Maynard has the better record and even beat Edgar. I think Maynard can beat Edgar again too. That really should be the next title fight.

 

Toney sucks. Dana wanted to make an example out of him.

I understand your point. However, I'm not sure if you ever wrestled or boxed at a high level, but many times you get two great wrestlers and expect someting special and you walk away shaking your head thinking what a boring fucking match. The problem is they cancel each other out alot of times if they are at about the same skill level. I'm super impressed with Frankie, hes really an undersised 55 pounder and beat Penn twice. Maynard is another tall task. A huge, great wrestler.

I still think that BJ is leaps and bounds the better fighter than Frankie. BJ has KO power, good TDD (except against Edgar) and has a world class ground game. Edgar really has none of those things. He utilizes his speed very well and that's what is winning him fights.

 

I really hope they set up Maynard/Edgar for the next title fight. I'd like to see Maynard get the win after pulling off a win against Kenny.

 

I think BJ's own hype gets to him. Then he goes out there and forgets that he really is the best LW in the world and lets someone out class him. It sucks, because BJ really is above and beyond any LW out there.

BJ is a head case. No question. It seems that literally one minute you have it in going in the cage and next your done. Too slow, old, tired, too much money, whatever. Its all a part of the game. Still, BJ's 0-2 against Frankie, so he's head and shoulders WORSE than the kid.
