I think BJ Penn is "crazy" enough to take that fight !!! and I think would have a chance to tap him out if it hits the ground.....just a thought
I imagine that was the fight BJ would have asked for had he beaten St. Pierre in the rematch. I'm happy with Penn continuing to build a legacy at lightweight but I'd be lying if I said that wasn't an interesting fight
it woud look alittle something like this.
Silva's reach would be too much... BJ doesn't have the size to take him to the ground.
Massive miss-match here..
To be fair... Anderson would annihilate any welterweight as well (GSP included).
if he had beat gsp i would have been all for it.
the point was is that BJ wouldnt blink..he would take that fight...
silva doesnt have the wrestling that GSP has....
i would say it would at least be interesting
For the reasons Brasco said, it might actually be a more winnable fight for BJ. And yes, its ridiculous but true that BJ wouldn't blink at taking that fight.
C'mon man. BJ beats Diego and now he should fight Anderson? I thought we went over this a thousand times and the conclusion that fans and haters alike agreed on is that BJ should stay at his weight class.
Who cares if he wouldn't blink? You don't win anything for cajones. Plenty of people wouldn't blink.
BJ moves up he gets his ass beat at the top of the heap. He needs to just stay at 155#s. There's a reason for weight classes.
BJ likes the challenge....He is a pure fighter at heart....That was the point...GSP wont take the fight but BJ would....
They're pretty friendly with each other, so dunno if BJ would take it without blinking an eye.
Don't know how to post videos here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEW_DubgWA4&feature=related
oh..ok...i get it now....that is why BJ is acting soooooooo crazy now..he hurt his brain against GSP...lol
BJ would take the fight; not a lot of fighters would accept such a mismatch on paper........but I would bet money, if they offered the fight to BJ, he'd take it. Props to Matt Lindland for doing the same kind of thing btw.
Please God no.
He's already fought Machida and fared very well, why is Silva such a crazy option for him?
Redneck - He's already fought Machida and fared very well, why is Silva such a crazy option for him?
Because there is absolutely NO comparison between 2005's Lyoto Machida (in only his sixth pro fight) and the wrecking machine that is Anderson Silva now. Hell, the Machida of today would crush BJ.
If BJ really wants to leave a lasting legacy and go down as one of the all-time greats he needs to stay at 155 and dominate.

Stay and dominate who in the UFC? There are no more options left at 155 unless he left the UFC and went to Japan.
Sakuraba built a tremendous legacy fighting, and losing, to numerous heavier fighters.
Machida looked damn good against the then UFC phenom, Rich Franklin, in 2003.
Silva is way to big for BJ
I dont think theres any doubt teh BJ would take the fight. But it wouldnt be a good idea.
D1M3B4G -Thank you. That is exactly what I meant and yes he is the stupid one. Why would i post he would take the fight as in win the fight and then immediately after put "But it wouldnt be a good idea."?BJcries2mommy -PJ Benn Fan - I dont think theres any doubt teh BJ would take the fight. But it wouldnt be a good idea.
really? not any doubt huh? Bj couldnt even finish Sanchez, u think he can take silva???
Silva would play with him b4 handing him his first ever KO..
A Silvas Striking >>>>>>>>>>>>>> BJs.....
any that doubt that are fucking stupid.
I believe he meant "take" as in "accept"...as in, BJ would accept the offer to fight Anderson Silva.
Maybe you're the stupid one here.
BJcries2mommy's reading comprehension for the loss!
