You know, I bet Frankie's pretty pissed off that he doesn't get to defend his belt against some lesser competition before having to fight Penn again.

Well I think he would be an underdog to Maynard or Florian too.

Re: UFC 118 Penn-Edgar 2 Toney-Couture

^^^^^Agree. I would probably bet Florian in that fight.

I'd take maynard over edgar but if maynard loses to florian and edgar loses to penn ill bet maynard could be a dog to edgar.

Anyone else think bj penn will finish this fight?

In the first fight bj penn had:

a Respitory infection
knee brace- pat militech said his knee was injured
he was fighting in 100 degree weather..this favors edgar because he didn't have to cut weight

Now bj will be able to breathe better, no injuries(hoepfully) and he wont be fighting in 100 degrees so he won't gas as quick.

Bj won the first 3 rounds imo and tired in the end the first fight.

I do.

Im not buying any of his excuses though. and I do think he won the first fight, but I think he doest fuck around this time, and by the 3rd, he gets the take down, and Buffer starts warming up his voice.

Why would Maynard be a dog to Edgar? They've already fought once and Maynard won all 3 rounds in book .

The UFC, led by former boxer-turned-promoter Dana White, has flourished. “MMA is the king of the [expletive] right now,” Toney said, which is another reason he’s here. He’ll make an estimated $750,000 to $1 million Saturday.

Sonnen and Carwin get 40k to fight for titles Toney gets min. 750k to fight a co-main event .

What a slap in the face to Sonnen and Cawin .And everyone else on the UFC 118 card for that matter

I know, but it doesn't mean the bookies wouldn't make him a dog. He did beat BJ Penn once, and only if he Maynard loses to Kenflo.

^ UFC does not reward their fighters for being good fighters... that has been made clear time and time again. Hell Anderson Silva was not even making $100k until pretty recently.

The UFC rewards you for being a draw, period.

Yeah that's pretty sad. Especially coming in as fat as he did. Pathetic.

Re: UFC 118 Penn-Edgar 2 Toney-Couture

i do.

I think BJ will finish this time too.

I really think his gas had a big part in the last fight. Everyone gassed. Even Osipscac and Story gassed. Renzo gassed. Silva gassed. Beingoutside in the desert obviously had an effect on the fighters.

It really is and it makes me hate Dana even more. Shit, Toney is going to make 2-3x more than Randy.

I like Toney but theres little doubt in my mind he did this for the paycheck now. Paying him a million and paying Sonnen and Carwin 40k pisses me off and Dana is a POS for doing that


That said I just watching the weigins and Toney is way out of shape. I was thinking his last boxing match when he came in in shape he was 230 .I was wrong he came in at around 220(217 exactly ) .He is way out of shape and didnt take this seriously . I'm 99.9% sure he did this for the paycheck now and didnt train seriously for it . 237 is 20 pounds heavier than he should have came in at

Re: UFC 118 Penn-Edgar 2 Toney-Couture

Yeah if you look at his record on Boxrec, he's fought at 237 once before in 2006, but it's the heaviest weight he's ever fought at.
