Aoki only has subs, Penn is one of most well rounded fighters in the world.

I think people want to just see the grappling aspect of the fight which is obviously where it would be closer. But if that is all you want to see then you should be emailing the ADCC.
+1. that is a grappling match i would love to see.

i'm telling you, if ADCC could land the right fighters, i would love to see it on a PPV. even without the bells and whistles, just to watch the matches.

Hansen is a useful addition to a discussion of Aoki's judo versus Penn's takedown defence?

Aoki's ground game is very impressive. I'd like to see them square off.

Yeah, I think Aoki would get crushed standing, but has a better chance on the ground.

While we all know how good BJ Penn is on the ground, is he really better than Aoki? We'll see. I think this fight would be a classic grappling match up like Newton-Sakuraba.
he got a blackbelt in four years, and won the world fuckin championships in the blackbelt divison TWO WEEKS after he got it.

yes, he's way better than aoki on the ground. im a huge shinya fan, but he aint got shit on penn.
