BJ Penn’s Hardcore Diet
Grove, Loss WTF
Whoa!!! Rivera's back I guess.
Well, Lambert must have tried to cruise on Gouveia. He handled the first round very well.
Lambert got KTFO
Gouveia landed a huge left hook, Lambert went down head first. Early in the second round.
idk why he was being so tentitive. He looked rather dominant in the 1st.
Just what I expected. Davis destroyed Laudin.
Davis gets the big KO. He keeps impressing me with every fight.
Davis is proving hes one of the best welterweights in the UFC. The ufc should trough him a bone and let him fight a named fighter.
Maybe Diego Sanchez or Matt Hughes
But, do u really think he is ready for sumthing like that? I mean really.
These British guys look like twins, I cant tell them apart.
Paul Kelly, Paul Taylor
Same size
Same color
Same receding hair line
Same First Name
I think we'll see an upset for the title.
Ok diego and hughes might be a big step from the chumps hes been fighting.
How about Luke Cummo or Josh Burkman after he loses to Swick
by upset to you mean Stvenson beats Penn?
Yeah. You wouldn't call that an upset?
Stevenson is under rated in this fight. I think it is all up to Penn and his preparation for this fight.
Stevenson is probably the strongest fighter Penn has faced.
Davis vs. Parisyan sounds good.
You think so? Penn fought Hughes and St. Pierre.
mayb I like stevenson but Penn has defeted all types of fighters.
Can you relly see stevenson take Penn down? no chance.
Actually yeah. Stevenson is prolly the strongest fighter in the Lightweight division other than Sherk. I see it going down and staying down as long as Stevenson wants.
Looks like Gonzaga has been overrated for a while.
Gonzaga gased, looked like shit in the second.
He looked like the slow, tired, lackluster Gonzaga. The way he was before the Cro Cop fight.
Gonzaga lossed……….sucks,
I lost money on Gonzaga and Grove
Penn better win
For me it was the fact that Werdum looked worse and Gonzaga off his back is one on the worst I've seen. He just lays there and covers up. If he could get up in those situations, He may have been the champion.
But, I gotta say, he may be taking Cro Cops spot with those kicks as the most feared striker in the division.
Penn is dominating the fight on the grould. Penn looks good.
fuck that gonzaga isnt the most feared striker… how many people has he knocked out? hmmmmm…. i rest my case
blood sport, sick
Stevenson better finish this fight, they will stop this fight with that cut.
Alright dane, then who the fuck is?
Stupid ass most of Liddell's knockouts where TKO. How many of those does Gonzaga have? hmmmmm?
ok. So I was wrong. This fight reminded me ALOT of Gonzaga/Couture. Once the cut came, everyone know who was gonna win.
@Chris
BJ out classed Stevenson, the cut helped finish the fight sooner.
Yeah. I didn't mean to imply that those fights were dicided by the cuts. The cut on Stevenson just reminded me of it. Personally, I thought they were gonna stop the fight aftert the 1st. Its ok though. Sherk is gonna whoop Penn's ass neways.
arlovsk, tim sylvia, mirko cro cop has knocked out a lot more people than him, i would say fedor is a better striker…. mark hunt…. i dunno there are a lot of better strikers than gonzaga he's a 1 hit wonder so far in my book… im sure he will ahve a good career but i think he is highly overated
oh i forgot brandon vera
and big nog… most of gonzagas wins are by submission
I loved all the knockouts so much, I'm watching it again!!
Dane, your not taking into account what Gonzaga did before coming to the UFC. He had 3 wins by tko and 1 by submission. And then of course, he had the loss to Werdum.
im not taking anything away from gonzaga i think he's a really good fighter but to be honest i think hes still a little green and ya he beat cro cop but other than that he hasnt done much in this sport yet. he's not even in double digits in the win column yet i like him a lot and i think he could be champ one day but he has a long way to go before hes considered the best striker in the heavyweight division… thats jsut my oppinion tho and i respect ur oppinion
scot, if ur reading this…u know what to do
damn kendall lost again fuck..i thought gonzage would have won
I haven't seen results Brandon…tell me something good.
my man took the fight scot, now u gotta live up to ur end of the bet
This post goes out to Brandon, Roy and Joe : I am stepping up like I said I would to the three of you, for all that post on here to see. I was wrong about the Penn / Stevenson fight. My guy, Stevenson lost the fight to Penn because Penn must be a better fighter like Brandon, Roy and Joe told me. I stuck by my guy all the same, and for that, holding true to our bet this will be my last post for 1 week. I will be reading other post through the week and will be ready to go by next Friday. I have enjoyed going back and forth with the three of you, and look forward to more of it in the future. Until Friday….Peace.

sweet…respect scot lol, see u in a week
Thank you Scot….See you in a week.
hahha that shit is funny
I'm glad BJ called out Sherk at the end. After seeing this fight I think BJ will be ready to step up against a stronger opponent. Stevenson was no slouch and is a top class wrestler, still BJ was able to control the ground. BJ is the man and I hope he destroys sherk and holds the choke like he did with Pulver.
