Edgar vs. Penn II
 
This is on the same card as Toney vs. Couture. Surprised there's not a thread on this yet

Predictions?

The Mask 08-25-2010 07:40 PM

hope bj penn wins. curious to see if he'll use his BJJ rather than standing.

couture will win, but i very much doubt it'll be the walk in the park everyone seems to be predicting.

The Naitch 08-25-2010 08:05 PM

same here, I wanna see BJ demolish Edgar. Seems like in every single countdown show, they say the same thing all the time; I'm gonna knock him out, I'm gonna make him tap etc etc. BJ better deliver

Nark Order 08-25-2010 08:08 PM

Kenny Florian is my favorite fighter and he has a better chance at beating Edgar for the belt. I'll be pulling for Frankie.

The Naitch 08-25-2010 08:29 PM

Florian is a weasel, according to BJ Penn. I think cuz he was e-mailing GSP about advice, yet he talk shit about him behind his back. Something like that

Nark Order 08-25-2010 08:45 PM

I try not to listen to anything BJ Penn says.

Jordan 08-26-2010 09:51 PM

I think Edgar will take it again

Funky Fly 08-27-2010 12:40 AM

Gonna give the (very slight) edge to BJ. I doubt he knew what Edgar was bringing the first time. This time it should be a little different. Either way, gonna be a great fight.

RP 08-28-2010 05:18 PM

Goodnight Frankie

Stickman 08-28-2010 07:55 PM

BJ by whatever he wants.

Nark Order 08-28-2010 08:13 PM

Florian has this.

RoXer 08-28-2010 10:35 PM

This Nate Diaz character can suck my nuts

Nark Order 08-28-2010 11:16 PM

fuck grey

Savio 08-28-2010 11:21 PM

Cool didnt miss any Headline fights

Savio 08-28-2010 11:47 PM

I bet randy opens with a punch then goes to use his wrestling skills.

CSL 08-28-2010 11:52 PM

Got back at a perfect time for the last 2 fights. I don't know who I want to see win out of Randy and Toney, I like Toney the boxer and Randy the MMA fighter. I'd have thought Randy is basically too experienced/smart and playing his own game to let himself take the big shot from Toney that could end the fight.

CSL 08-28-2010 11:54 PM

Okay I thought he may have put up a better fight than that.

CSL 08-29-2010 12:00 AM

Edgar on points again.

CSL 08-29-2010 12:03 AM

Kind of wanna see BJ put on a 'clinic' though.

Danny Electric 08-29-2010 12:03 AM

Did Florian win?

RoXer 08-29-2010 12:09 AM

Herb Dean needs to watch his weight

CSL 08-29-2010 12:12 AM

BJ looks super serial, and no, Florian lost apparently.

Joey Slugs 08-29-2010 12:42 AM

Edgar owned Penn tonight. Looked as sharp in the last minute as he did in the first.

The Mask 08-29-2010 12:52 AM

edgar is weird. he has cardio/speed but i can't see him finishing anyone at a championship level. i don't think the belt will be on him for long, but i think it moves mma into a new generation. all the champions have excellent fitness as well as technique now.

The Mask 08-29-2010 12:53 AM

also couture/toney was comedy. toney is like a donut walking on cocktail sticks. it was embarassing and hilarious how easy he got took down. i wanted couture to punch him out.

The Mask 08-29-2010 12:53 AM

ALSO. marcus davies' eye was fucking nasty. he looked like the fucking terminator.

NoJabbaNoBogRoll 08-29-2010 01:02 AM

BJ Penn looked sloppy and unmotivated... Again.

The Mask 08-29-2010 01:10 AM

he just has shit cardio. once he knew he wasn't gonna catch edgar his heart went out of it. i have no idea why he didn't take the fight to the ground more, it was the only time it was a competitive fight.

I just love the fact that Toney didn't land a single straight punch. What a joke. MMA 1 - Boxing 0

Frankie dominated Penn on so many levels. Wasn't Penn supposed to be impossible to take down? Wasn't he the freakishly balanced fighter? Wherever BJ took it, Frankie finished it. I think Frankie should be respected for his two victories, but he may well get raped by maynard.

Nark Order 08-29-2010 11:58 AM

Grey is such a boring fucking fighter.

Impact! 08-29-2010 11:59 AM

Agreed.

Stickman 08-29-2010 12:02 PM

Not too excited about the light weight division anymore. They used to be the guys who go balls out and you know you're going to get a great fight. I get the feeling now that we'll see a lot more decisions.

Crimson 08-29-2010 12:09 PM

Get ready for a boring champion at the lightweight..Gray will beat Edgar

Crimson 08-29-2010 12:11 PM

Can we just have Sonnen be a heel manager and do tha trash talking for certain fighters?

MMA fans are so fucking fickle. It was a great fight, BJ got outclassed for 5 rounds, and that alone is enough to make me enjoyit . Not everyone has finishing power, Frankies a wrestler with good hands. Atleast he doesn't lay and pray like Maynard. Other than the fact BJ isn't king anymore, LW division isn't any different.

Jordan 08-29-2010 02:53 PM

Toney/Couture

Anybody see after the first sleep attempt Randy was saying to the ref "Check him! Check him!" And Toney says "I'm good". So he lets go of the hold and says "YOU SHOULD HAVE TAPPED!" And bam, levels him with a couple of shots and then chokes him out. OHHHH MAN I LOVED IT

Haze 08-29-2010 03:07 PM

Frankie Edgar is legit.

I had my doubts about his skills going into this fight. But watching how he was able to completely nullify Penn through all 5 rounds, made me realize that this kid has some serious skills.
