Could Khabib take him down? Penn’s tdd was lights out back then. And if Khabib did get him down, could he hang with BJ on the mat? Prime Penn’s boxing was some of the best we’ve seen inside the cage. I think Penn takes it. Who you got?
Prime/Motivated BJ beats any 155er that has ever lived

Khabib would take him down at will, even more so than GSP in the rematch. He would beat his ass.
Khabib is good but one knockout changes all perceptions of him.
Khabib still has to get past Conor and Tony.
Penn all day

Not Frankie.
That's true. BJ actually lost to Frankie while in his prime.
God damn I love bj penn.
BJ
Quit making this thread every week. THe UG is no longer a place for fun hypotheticals… youre just going to trigger all those fags that get all angry and/or condescending at even the THOUGHT of an older era fighter being any good.
Happens every single time.
Thuglife13 -BJ won the first fight and there should've never been a 2nd fight. Judges fucked the champ over in that fight and everyone knows that...
B.J. Penn is teh GOAT
Please stop huffing gasoline.
Penn would beat him standing or on the ground
God bless BJ Penn but...
Khabib would wear Penn down and fuck him up.
Oh, look. This thread again. You Penn fan boys are delusional. Khabib could hold him down and rape him if he didn't hate gays so much. Khabib by mauling. Regardless of what version of Penn shows up

From what I can tell khabib spends all day with his arms around men and all night stroking their legs for photos.
I think a prime BJ Penn might have what it takes to beat khabib.
Hughes struggled to get bj down in the second fight until bj gassed hard in the third round
Anybody not saying BJ didn’t watch back then. He smoked a prime Matt Hughes. There were nights BJ was unbeatable. His prime was for a very short period because of laziness, but during that very short period he was one of the GOATs. I put TRT Vitor in the same category.
the internet love BJ Penn. Never ask if a Motivated Penn can beat anyone. Motivated Penn can walk on water and it was 100% because he was not motivated why he lost everyone of his fights. Never to do with the other guy being good or anything
I think BJ’s jab would play a bigger role than his TDD.
Prime BJ beats an explosive wrestler like Kevin Lee, IMO. His sprawl was so damn good and his boxing was excellent.
But, the question with Khabib isn’t whether BJ would stop his double, but whether he could avoid the clinch. I think the answer to this is “no.” Khabib eventually clinches, gets BJ down, and mauls him on top.

Prime BJ on that 155 Diego, Sherk, Stevenson tear beats him
