Penn won't beat Franklin. What a weak ass comment.
I wanna see KARO vs. BJ PENN
LOL - if you bring Jens back... He too will embarass Hughes.
Jens has beaten 2 people that soundly beat Matt in Hallman and Penn. Hughes knows this.
Pulver doesn;t stand a chance against Penn anymore, as Sakurai said, he is different now.
he better worry about gsp first. he'll lose that fight if he looks past him
(and might lose even if he doesn't)
Back stage at the last UFC GSP said he hopes to get a shot at the title before he has to fight penn. sounds like GSP has more respect for him that some of you do. They have a simular style. I hope GSP gets his shot at the title soon. He is awesome and a really great guy for the sport.
MMARADIO.com doesn't exist.
BJ can talk all he wants but UFC has the final word in making fights.
I dont like BJ-GSP because either one of them should be fighting Hughes next, not each other.
I seriously think Franklin would handle BJ because BJ's power is better suited to lightweight and welter.
GSP matches up better against BJ than Hughes does, IMO.
BJ had his way with Hughes because of the edge in stand-up and how it played out. He might have had his way with him, anyway, but it was clocking Hughes (both senses) standing that made the ground work easy for BJ.
GSP's alot more diverse and troublesome standing than Hughes.
Crack kills BJ....
I think Penn is a phenomenal fighter, but I don't think he should get a shot at a title that he willingly walked away from. He understood it was breach of contract by fighting elsewhere. This may have been a onesided contract for Zuffas benefit, but never the less it was the deal. I don't think he will have much trouble getting another shot, but I think he may be fighting GSP for the title, not Hughes. Nothing against Matt either. Another world class champ. I just really want to see a rematch, I think they are both exciting fighters, and GSP has earned it.
BJ vs GSP and Karo vs Huhges is HOW it SHOULD go down!
24 posts sounds about right!!!
haha
How is BJ on crack?
He did much better against Lyoto than Franklin did.
STFU
It would be cool to see him do it.
BJ has a helluva big dick.
I actually cant see him beating any one of the three. He is in for a hard contract.
Having Penn back in the UFC is a good move on their part.
Only problem is Penns mouth is running on three different levels. First he has his easiest fight of the three, which won
t be easy because it is GSP. Then has to fight and beat the champ of his division, or old one he used to be champ in anyway. Then he goes on to open his mouth and say he wants Franklins title and hasn
t even beat anyone in that division yet. He still has to beat each one to move on to the next. I`ll be surprised if he can make past the first two .
Like him or not he does bring some decent matches to a otherwise kind of stale division.
How people can still write BJ off at these weights is beyond me.
I'm not saying he'll win his proposed 'next 3 fights' but you can NEVER consider him having no chance. He is definitely a great fighter who seems to be good at handling various styles of fighters.
I want GSp to take the title the most but I'd also love BJ to go on and tear through the best of the UFC in 170 and 185 just to prove that contract disagreements aside, he should NEVER have been dropped by the UFC. They should have found a way to make things work.
lol BJ is acting like he can just walk right in and call the shots. ... The bad part is that I see him getting raped by GSP, and decisioned by Hughes in a rematch .. Heck, even if he proves me wrong and kills both Hughes and GSP ... don't you think it's just a little early for him to act like he has those fights in his pocket, and to be calling out someone as brutal as Franklin? ..doh!
