Shari that's BJ Penn former MMA lightweight champion.

He fought and lost last night at UFC 118.

Thanks guys! I guess I should check the time/date stamp on my emails next time and maybe even read my emails more than once every couple of days.

I guess in this case though it saved me money! Maybe that's why I can't get a hold of my friend now.

Thanks for the points Shari.

This is the guy who gives me baseball picks from time to time and he's usually pretty great with those. Maybe he should stick to that.

He is Frankie Edgar's punch sack.

Little Frankie dominated him.

BJ was over a 3-1 favorite last night! Looks like you lucked out.

About 35 out of 40 people picked him to win in the UFC 118 Pick The Card thread.

Not such a bad tip really.

Why 35 out of 40 would lay -350 on the loser in a rematch is puzzling to me, I was all over Edgar, but I was also all over Toney.

that makes the tip even worse

that means it was a public play....public play + heavy favorite = terrible results

Many folks thought the "prodigy" BJ Penn would show up last night....but Frankie Edgar has his number...now the question is what does Dana White do to save one of his marquee names in the company? BJ is incredibly talented, but is really messed up right now. The biggest joke of the night was the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man James Toney taking his brain damaged ass into the cage to be embarrassed by a 47 year-old fighter. That dude needs to go away ASAP. If Dana is so quick to release guys like Kimbo, you can bet Toney is finished.

had Edgar +230

woo-hoo
