Can't reply, brain hurts from thinking about this...

I'm about the last person who is a BJ Penn nuthugger, but "Rumble" Johnson has the same shot Serra had against GSP. Maybe if he gets a big shot in early, but BJ has better stand up (technically), better takedowns, absurdly better ground game; this would be like tying a lamb down in the middle of the cage and letting a hungry wolf in.

Look, Johnson had a nice little win against Tommy Speer. Can we just let him enjoy that, maybe move up to fighting another TUF alum next? Can the guy at least win two fights in a row against B/C level fighters before we start setting up a title fight?
