TUF 19 Finale Frankie Edgar vs. B.J. Penn - Tonight

best american bjj grappler in the world making his debut? better put him on fight pass

Derrick Lewis hits like a truck lol slept dude, woke him back up, then slept him again it looked like.

That was the saddest thing I've ever had to watch
Gonna go cry in my room while watching BJ vs Hughes 1

Paychecc collecting

BJ had money before he started fighting tho. He just doesn't want to stop fighting

sad day...bj got destroyed, im gonna go cry now...

card was hella entertaining tho.

Yea, I already kno his fam is well off. But truly I don't c a reason for the way he fought tonight. I have money, but more never hurts. A quicc 25 minute paychecc. He doesn't want to stop "fighting", but he didn't even FIGHT tonight. He flicced his jabs out. No power in any of his punches. Maybe his game plan was to get taken down and wear Edgar out on the ground and later turn it up. We'll never kno.

I think that Nick Diaz fight took BJ's fighting soul. BJ used to fight aggressive as fuck, after Diaz turned him in to a punching bag he's acted passive as hell. He was really passive in the Rory fight also, even before Rory turned it up on him.

There's always that one fight a fighter has that changes them and I think that was the Diaz fight for BJ.

If BJ would have just stayed at Lightweight I don't think he would have declined the way he did honestly.

I retract my above statement:

Penn realized that was time to retire, and why, in the cage, right before the fight was stopped in the 3rd due to elbows.
“When the blood started going in my eyes and everything and the fight started getting real tough, I realized it takes a high, high energy level to compete with the top people in the world,” said Penn. “You can have every technique figured out, you can have this and that and all your theories ready to go, and at the end of the line is you need a high energy to compete against these guys.
“They’re very hungry, they want to be the best. I can sit here a thousand times and say the sport passed me by, but there’s just such quality people in the UFC at the moment.
“You look at somebody like Frankie Edgar, and you think, ‘That little guy,’ but these guys, they want it. And even if you’re sitting there and you think you’ve got something figured out, or you’re going to surprise somebody with (something), first thing you’ve got to do is have more heart than these guys. That’s what all these people have a lot more (of). You can’t see that looking at them; you can only see it by feeling it.”

Pure poetry

i read that whole statement from bj in his accent lol

BJ Penn has been done but one thing the UFC does well is giving their fighters virtually every chance to make a come back if they still want to fight. But for Penn, it's been over for awhile.
