"The UFC contacted us yesterday, and I think they want to put a rematch together, so I think a rematch is in the works," Penn said Tuesday morning in an interview with 106.7 The Fan in Washington, D.C.
"I think the next three months, four months at the most," Penn said.
The three or four month range would indicate that Penn vs. Edgar 2 could be the main event at the UFC's tentatively scheduled August 28 pay-per-view show in Boston. If the UFC really wants to give fans a great fight for free, it could also possibly be the main event of the August 1 Versus show in Oakland.
I predict BJ will take Frankie down this time and choke him out
I think a rematch is warranted given how close the fight was.
Wheels are in motion baby! Baby Jay wont got without!
Good.
Good! I really enjoyed that fight
it will give BJ the respect he deserves as being one of the best ever who lost a very close fight, and it will give Edgar the opportunity to shut up all the people saying robbery and that he was lucky
I wonder what the odds will be for that fight?
Makes Sense
ufc knows he was robbed
Sounds like BJ's mom called the UFC and complained about the decision, and got them to give her son another chance.
Edgar won that fight
but I support this rematch
ranier wolfcastle - ufc knows he was robbed
BLAF said Frankie won the fight.
Edgar won that fight
Here's the scoop, I like Edgar, but I'm an admitted BJ nuthugger. I don't agree with the decision, but the fight was really close and neither fighter did anything difinitive to steal the fight IMO.
That being said, I'm more intrested in seeing an Edgar/Florian or BJ/Maynard. Let the winners of those fights determine the title fight. How awesome would those two fights be for free on VS?!?
BJ didn't do anything definitive in the fight to deserve a rematch, imo.
But whateva, Edgar via another close decision then we'll see another immediate rematch.
grafzep - I think a rematch is warranted given how close the fight was.
Agreed. Hopefully, BJ has learned that even great strikers shouldn't fall in love with their standup in mma.
Sad day for Gray Maynard and Kenny Florian lol
Will they have the same judges?
rather not see a rematch yet
Arecsa -Fenix - BJ didn't do anything definitive in the fight to deserve a rematch, imo.
Frankie didn't do anyting definitive in the fight to deserve the belt.
We're debating a rematch, not the fight that just took place. It's not a robbery like Shogun vs. Machida was.
id like to see an immediate rematch,i think Edgar is a bad matchup for BJ and think is the only guy at lw who can beat him,if Edgar loses to someone else then BJ will grab the title again,an immediate rematch for BJ will most likely end up with BJ being 15-7-1,where would he go from there?
could he go upto 170 with a losing record there after losing 2 straight at lw? Does he fight 4 more times at lw to get another shot? surely if he lost an immediate rematch he would drop dramatically
