for Penn, yes 155 lbs fights (would love to see him vs Roger Huerta)


me too. Wonder how Penn comes out for his next fight? He has NEVER been dominated like this. Does it motivate, or does it knock his mindset way off?

GSP was clearly better because of two main things. He works harder in the gym.



GSP outweights Penn by 15 pounds. Penn is great at 155, not so much at 170.

gassed or not, GSP would get Penn down at some point in the fight. It's a part of the game, and it's much better than Penn's.

But, conditioning is a HUGE part of the game now. Until Penn gets that mental toughness to workk his cardio like the other guys he will be a disappointment. So god damn talented/gifted.

I don't know. I got pissed and stopped watching it. Let me rewind it.


PBT, no they didn't show any fights after the main event. Pisses me off even more.

I was torn apart as a subjective handicapper by Penn fans when noting his non-155 results a few months ago on here.

BJ needs to stay and play with the Sherks of the world, his reach and build are suited for such..he's getting DeLaHoya-esque results when playing outta division in dream matches.

doubt. GSP mentioned was a 170'er just this week when that was hinted.

Also, i see Silva taking some 205 fights.

I don't blame Penn for taking on the giants..he owns 155 by such a vast margin..he gets bored.

No Penn didn't interview.

Alves walked in and they interviewed him though.

When they were putting the shirt on BJ Penn, he was leaning on his brother. I imagine he is not going to an after party unless it's in the ER.
