does he fight Aldo next?
in actual rankings it's not enough to merit a title shot. but a former two division champion hall of famer entering a new division and impressively beating a top fiver and I bet he gets a title shot.
he's gonna be old and slow, this is his last hoorah and pay day
I'll be surprised he even makes 145

Haha I wonder how long until these threads start surfacing, who am I kidding I'll be all in thinking its a new BJ. But if BJ comes out and licks Edgars blood off of his glove he deserves Aldo. Hopefully Lamas will have got his shot before this though haha
Id like to see him against Chad.
I'm not gonna lie... I wish he was fighting Aldo NOW! I couldn't care less that it's not deserved, that announcement would've made it hard for me to go to sleep at night like an excited kid lol
Hes not fighting until april. If he wins theres another 6 months. If he wins that and gets a title shot theres another 6 months at least. Thats around 2 years. Bj's not getting any younger. I HATE how the ufc is now with regards to the wait between fights.
Penn and Aldo are both bjj black belts under Andre Pederneiras at Nova Uniao and consider him one of their mentors. No way they fight imo
BJ is my favorite fighter of all-time but I think Aldo smokes him with leg kicks and body shots.
The Mendes fight is way more interesting. I want to see if Mendes can take BJ down, and how the striking battle may go down.

I'm 100 unbiased, and I think BJ Penn takes this. He's fired up. He's rearing to go. He wants vengeance. You might even say he's motivated.
if he beats edgar he shood get a no.1 contender fight not title shot imo, maybe agaisnt cub or lams or poirier
Motivated Penn - I'm 100 unbiased, and I think BJ Penn takes this. He's fired up. He's rearing to go. He wants vengeance. You might even say he's motivated.
exaclty! just like the macdonald and diaz fights
the thing bj is running from is reality lol
Bj won't run through Frankie , so don't worry
I can't see BJ being able to do anything more than he did in his last fights against Frankie other than improve his cardio a bit.
He's had a long time off and Frankie's only been improving his skills during that time.
He should've been fired up in the first rematch but the fight was exactly the same.
Another decision for Frankie, IMO. I doubt we will see Penn vs Mendes or Penn vs Aldo although it would definitely be interesting if he did pull something off against Edgar.
sackattack3323 -caseharts - Id like to see him against Chad.Do you personally know chad?
You've caught on Mate.
sackattack3323 -caseharts -Lol. Iv just seen alot of post and you're very high on Mendez, especially when you were relentless in the discussion about how you felt he was the best wrestler in MMA. If you know him personally I understand it. If not i still understand it. Honestly he's one of my favorite fighters to watch. Cheerssackattack3323 -caseharts - Id like to see him against Chad.Do you personally know chad?You've caught on Mate.
It was a joke. Don't know him at all. He's my favorite 145er and has been since his Morrison fight.
I honestly think he's the clear number 2 and easily could dethrone aldo. I also do believe he's the best wrestler in mma as far as it transitioning into his arsenal.
He's also humble. I like that.
Is this the same guy who lost all 5 rounds in their last fight?
