After seeing Machida destroy Evans tonite it made me realize just how great BJ Penn is. I know he takes a lot of heat here on the UG for the loss (losses) to GSP, but BJ gave Machida his toughest fight to date. Granted it was a long time ago, but it still shows just how great BJ Penn really is.
that is all!
correct
This new aggresive Machida would destroy Penn within 2.
LOL!
You really think so EM, or are you just trolling?
Good point Vector... I'm really anxious to see how QJ does against Machida, and how good/bad BJ looks against KenFlo.
lol Bj would get crushed pretty easily if they fought today.

Yes, I really think so.
EvilMaster - This new aggresive Machida would destroy Penn within 2.
TRUTH!
What did Machida weigh in for that fight? anyone know offhand?
220+ if i remember correctly
204lb
Machida has grown exponentially as a fighter while Penn has stayed the same or even has regressed
damn... i'm guessing bj was around 180??? Awesome fight tonite by Machida... The stage is his tonite...
186 penn came in at
Has BJ regressed, or has he just fought guys that are basically p4p great athletes?
I mean he has only lost to Matt Hughes and GSP... It's not like he got beat by some ham n egger
since the Machida fight that is.
"...Machida has grown exponentially as a fighter while Penn has stayed the same or even has regressed..."

Agree!
EvilMaster is correct
Machida was a fat 220 in a lose-lose fight. Not surprising he had a weak performance.
