    What I learned about the UFC last night
    BJ Penn is the most assinine UFC fighter in the ring. Pretty strong statement and I stand by it...

    In the first fight he tossed a few punches and they danced back and forth and he lost, and he knew he lost. He vowed to come back. In the rematch fight it took him until the 4th round to actually express concern, the first 3 rounds were nothing more than confusion. BJ Penn did not know what to do.

    OMG you mean the guy who come right up to me and just straight box with me. OMG the horror, the agony, the astonishment. He's not going to fight me the way I want to be fight? BJ Penn had the ultimate response... I shall plot after him 1 small assinine step at a time. Yes that right, I will take 1 step towards him for ever 8 steps he takes. But I will chase him that 1 step at a time!! Don't worry I will win!!!

    In the end BJ Penn has not been a fighter in the UFC lately, he's just been a guy who likes to throw a few punches, and brag about how nobody will take him down. Last night was the game plan 2.0 on how to beat BJ Penn

    -In/out quickly with your punches, don't trade/exchange.
    -Make BJ Penn come to you
    -Don't get crazy with BJ on the ground, and rather than potentially end up reversed, just give up the position and stand up.


    I would also like to thank Joe for pointing out right on the paperview, how at a loss everyone in BJ Penns camp is. They expect the guy to come to BJ and fight BJ's fight. Nobody gave solid advice, or technical advice to help there fighter. If they are making these major and serious errors, then I believe its time for BJ Penn to find new people in his corner. I'd also like to see some of the old BJ Penn, the BJ Penn that wasn't afraid to run up on someone and just beat there ass flying knee or take down and all....But that isn't the BJ Penn we saw last night.

    We saw what happens to a fighter that everyone else is in awe of when the one person he's fighting truly doesn't give a shit. Don't worry though guys, BJ Penn is still plodding on one small assinine step at a time...

      BJ Penn is going to go down as one of those athletes who had all of the physical tools to be an all-time great in his sport. He is lacking, though, in heart and mental toughness.

          I'm not even sure its just that.

          Your a losing a fight and you won't go try to run the guy down and beat his ass? Heaven forbid you actually fight someone instead of throwing jabs all night long.

                  BJ needs a new team that is actually going to push him to not only get better but also put together a gameplan for opponents.

                      A lot of people simply aren`t giving Edgar credit. You can`t just rush in at a guy. It is about timing. You try and time an attack on Edgar, who was throwing knees, kicks, punches, and attempting his own takedowns.

                      Penn was simply outclassed by a better fighter, and there wasn`t a damn thing he could do about it.

                                  It looked like Edgar just wanted it more.

                                  I remember before the PPV started Rogan and Dana White were talking about how motivated B.J was for this fight and how a motivated B.J Penn is one of the best fighters in the world and then they showed B.J in the lockeroom and he was yawning! lol. Then when the fight started he looked jaded and lethargic. Props to Edgar though, he did great.

                                          I thought the same thing when they showed him yawning. Jaded and lethargic are perfect words to describe his demeanor last night.

                                                      I just think it is hard to tell a guy who is rarely losing how to fight when behind. It is his biggest weakness. It was not a mystery Penn would struggle again against Edgar. The next fight should prove quite the challenge to Edgar. I do not think Maynard will wait around like Penn did. So we will really get to see how Edgar does when pursued by a bully now that Edgar is a more complete fighter.

                                                          Will be first time Maynard has fought 5 rounds, will be interesting to see what his cardio is like, id imagine very good seeing as he trains at Xtreme Couture and has wrestling background, just cant see it being as good as Franky's. I could see Maynard gettin Franky down a few times in first 3 rounds then wilting and getting beat up on feet leading to a decision win for the Champ!

                                                                      I'm not diminishing Edgar at all, he's come out with a solid game plan, and then executed it. He's a very technical fighter and doesn't chase situations. He fights on terms that are favorable to him... in/out different avenues of attack. He's always changing direction.

I think it was a mix between Edgar turning into a great striker and BJ's skills diminishing. It looks like he is on the downside of his career. Also, his corner just seemed clueless last night.

He didn't try to give BJ much of anything to try to combat Frankie. Frankie deserves props...BJ needs to drop the "prodigy" label..it doesn't fit
