Re: UFC 112

BJ Also wasn't quite the fully conditioned lightweight god he is today when he fought Sherk. He also has much better head movement than Edgar. This one isn't even close standing or otherwise. No one is opposed to BJ having competition, but no one can in realistic logic name one man on this planet right now at 155lbs who can give BJ one. His boxing is the best in MMA, his ground game is absolutely astonishing, he has been able to dictate where the fight takes place in almost every fight he's ever had, his takedown defense is legendary, his chin is like a horshoe wrapped around his teeth, and he never gets cut. Anyone who couldn't finish Sherk standing has no business trying to strike with BJ Penn.

You are such a complete sack swinger it's retarded.

Penn finished Sherk at the buzzer at the end of the 3rd round. Maybe Edgar would have finished him in a 5 rd fight.All Edgars fights in the UFC have been 3 rd fights, What if you look at Penn in just the 1st 3 rds of all his fights? He looked great against Stevenson and Sanchez, but he didnt do anything great to Florian in the 1st 3 and outboxed Sherk as did Edgar for about 14 minutes. I think Penn is better but Edgar can pull out the upset.

I think Maia has a better shot at beating Silva then Edgar does beating Penn.


Does it make me an addict that I have been refreshing BFO almost all day? :)

The ethnic cleansing was against Diego, who he outstruck 150-8

Damn, that's insane. I've never seen the actual stats.

I've had those days.

You may just want to sign up for an alert for one of the undercard fights and let them e-mail you once it's up.

Yes.


But they are on twitter... so you can just sign up and get a beep on your cell ( I think that is how twitter works, I am too old to tweet). I barely know how to use a cell phone.

Re: UFC 112

The cell phone thing might be cool (I am 18, I have a cell phone and know how to work it haha). Having them alert my email would be the same thing as checking BFO constantly since I would just be checking my email all day.

Re: UFC 112

Zy, not everyone can wear blinders and call them glasses but you pull it off somehow. The fact that you like to discount alot of fighters with little to no factual basis says alot. Yeah I might be a Penn Homer but can you deny any single thing I said? Congratulations on being the biggest asshole and toolbox on the forum.

Yes Penn finished Sherk in the closing seconds of the third round but thats still a finish within three rounds, something Edgar couldn't do. It's going to be a blowout and I don't see this one going anywhere near a decision. However I do think Edgar will manage to put on a better performance than Diego did, not sure about Kenny. Florian had a decent gameplan, he just didn't have anywhere to go from there. Keeping Penn pushed against the fence for 15 minutes was all well and good until Kenny's urge to try and finish kicked in, which is when BJ just kind of decided to start trying at that point and it was all down hill from there.

I already gave my arguments before you starting slurping. No reason to continue.

I think Kenny's gameplan was pretty godawful actually. What happened to his Muay Thai? Penn's boxing stance makes him fairly susceptible to leg kicks, but Kenny didn't even try.

I can see why zY might get the reputation. I know of another forum where he's considered to be a straight up troll. But he's okay. Just gotta get to know him.

Yeah, it is, kind of. Sort of a lucky finish, in my opinion. Sherk is tough. He seems to have lost a lot of stock with peeps but I wouldn't fuck with him.

LOL which forum is that?

And the best part of that fight was that BJ called it off himself.

Re: UFC 112

Oh there's no doubt that Sherk is tough, he's not the easiest guy to knock out by any means at all. But his standup is god awful because his arms are so damn short. He has to get so close just to have a hope of hitting that he usually gets tagged twice before he can do it. He really should have just stuck to his wrestling, seeing as it was some of the best in the division.

Well, he outstruck Tyson Griffin, but yeah. His arms are ridiculously short. He doesn't need to abandon either his wrestling or his striking, but simply mix it up better. He doesn't transition between the two well at all.
