UFC 127

BJ has been training with Mayweather.

I like this statement:

"See, those guys throwing shots different than the way we do it, so I'm teaching BJ how to keep it standing and be effective"

I wonder what kind of TDD BJ is learning from Mayweather.

This is the line that caught my eye.

"Man, the only thing Freddie Roach can do better than me is wash my car. "

BJ is great. Great hands, good Takedown D and bjj world champ. No discounting BJ. He can def get beat though. For the record, all Frankie Edgar did was dance around him and land super light punches in order to win rounds. BJ goes out there and finishes fights, those two guys are worlds apart. Frankie can win everyime they fight, BJ is still more of a warrior than him.

In My opinion I'd like to see BJ training his wrestling because thats all Fitch has and the only area he can hope to hang with BJ in. That said, this could prove a smart move especially if BJ learns the shoulder roll(which Mayweather was known for I'm told) and tightens his boxing that could be the difference between getting clinchfucked for fifteen minutes and beating the shit out of Fitch.

I don't know that BJ has to bring in shoot wrestlers because Fitch has never been one to have an excellent shot, he's more of a clinch guy who uses trips, throws, and drags to get people down. What I'm interested in seeing is whether or not Fitch can hold BJ down if he gets him there. BJ has always had an active sweep game.

Typical BJ Penn fan emotional response.

You may be correct.

Edgar didn't exactly throw a bunch of "super light punches" to win the fight the 2nd time. He took BJ down at will and dominated him everywhere.

Also, I think Edgar's punches are a little deceptive. BJ's face showed a lot of wear and tear after the first few rounds in the first fight.

^^^^ pretty weak card but this is going to be one of those free spike tape delay BS events right?

[poopoo333]

No, ppv.

[Luke]

You weren't going to buy it anyway.

I hope they do like they did last time, and have it at like noon local time so we can watch it live with no tape delay.

Lol you're right I wasnt buying it . I honestly hate watching fights in the middle of the day. I like to go out and do shit on the weekends and then when we get home the lady goes to bed and I can watch the fights in peace

Anytime Penn fights it's worth the price of admission.

Add Siver/G-Sot and Condit/Lytle to that and I think you have a pretty solid card.
