nice read!

One thing. He didnt dominate Gomi in that fight. At times Penn was on his back taking a few blows. Some good rounds in that before the submission.

thank you. seriously.
being a relative newcomer to this sport (coming up on three years since i discovered mma), i can really appreciate a poster on sherdog who is willing to give out insight on mma without being an ass.

it's not only because it happened once that it will happen again...

Have you seen their first fight? BJ dominated in every way. I'm not saying it's an easy win for BJ, but why wouldn't the same thing happen?

I agree with you. I think the fight would go pretty much the same as the last.

Thomas

So please next time you wanna type that Penn is over-rated, remember this post.

There is never an easier time to tell when a fan is uneducated, and when he explains that he doesn't know why Penn is so respected.

And yet you still seem to overlook that he lost his last two fights. so, please, stop it. Penn is an alright fighter, a middle of the packer who has this large following who is blind with love and out of touch with reality. it is touching that you profess your love in front of such a large internet following, but do not confuse your crush with BJ being anything more than he is.
