Could Anthony Johnson Take BJ Penn?

I think Johnson might be a little too athletic for BJ. I really wouldn't be all that surprised to see Johnson get a 1st round TKO here. Penn normally comes in out of shape and with Johnson's long reach and superior athleticism, I don't see how Penn has a chance.

IMO AJ's win over Speer was no more impressive than Danzigs'. Mac dominated Speer on the ground in a matter of minutes while Johnson dominated Speer on the feet in a matter of minutes.

No, AJ could not take BJ Penn. I think BJ wins from the top or from the bottom by sub. If the fight stayed on the feet, then maybe he'd have a good chance of outpointing BJ.

You guys need to get off Anothny Johnson's nuts. The guy got taken down by a 155er and choked out, he will never be nothing more than a dangerous fighter early.
