Wait, "Unless he's fighting at LW he's not that impressive" you say.

But LW is his weight! What other 155lb fighter beats Hughes, takes GSP to a SD & goes 3 Rounds with Machida?

The fact that he is even top 10 at WW is remarkable!

Lol, it's so funny that people are coming on here still doubting B.J. saying, "Oh he's so overrated NOW! He can't beat any top guys NOW!"

Funny, because he avenged one a big loss to Pulver in extremely dominating fashion, and crushed Sean Sherk, a guy people on here nut-rode and talked up before that fight.

So the guy wins two huge bouts, and now he's overrated ? This is just silly.

I hope he does get his match against GSP and crushes him, but I know it won't change the opinion of any haters on here.

good stuff, I remember all of this happening but had my order of certain things mixed up and I did forget a few of the things. Its a good reminder about why penn is truly a top p4p fighter and a living legend.

BJ has great ears, that alone gets respect

He is overated

[justfight]

Too long... but I assume it all boils down to him being one of the top 3 p4p fighters... the most naturally gifted fighter and an all around bad ass.
