is debating a fight name really that interesting or informative? i am not sure.

i would say that BJ is a HOF fighter based on his titles in different weight classes

with his last three fights in particular he seems to be headed onto a terrific career. perhaps the biggest ahead challenge will be two-fold: continuing to find fights that are bigger than the previous fights and staying motivated over the next 3-5 years.

i wish him well, he is one of the great talents of his era.

When asked if the term prodigy was an outdated nickname by Jason "Mayhem" Miller, BJ said yes. When Miller asked what it should be changed to???

BJ "Mauthaf@ckinnn" Penn was the answer.

4 years from nothing to bjj blackbelt world champ is quite impressive.

after that, he came to the ufc where he KNOCKED PEOPLE OUT. how many other grapplers do you know that transitioned to mma and just began knocking fools out?

if you don't respect penn's skill, you just aren't an mma fan.

that basically sums it up perfectly

For some strange reason you may not be convinced (probably haven't seen enough of his fights), but to most of us who have followed his career he doesn't need to prove anything to assert his greatness or defend his nickname as the Prodigy.

Also just so you know, his nickname comes from his BJJ World Championship win after only 3 years of training.

Damn it, this is the second troll thread tonight i've been sucked into!

as much as id like to see bj "clean out" his division, who is left to fight that poses a real threat? huerta? kenflo? please, not even close.
