Kurt Pellegrino vs. Josh Neer
Round one: Neer with a right and Pellegrino lands a solid one of his own. Neer with a front kick and Pellegrino with a good body shot then goes for the double leg take down and nails it. Pellegrino jumps into half guard now. Neer works his way back to full guard and Pellegrino is working some elbows. Neer looking for an arm bar now. Kurt slides his way out and now working hammer fists. Neer locks in an arm bar!!! But pellegrino manages to slam his way out of it. Nice right from Kurt. Neer now looking for a triangle. Pellegrino gets to half guard and lands a big elbow now and is peppering in some body shots. Pellegrino smothering Neer, but Neer is keeping him honest with great submission attempts from the bottom and thats the bell. Pellegrino gets it 10-9 but he didnt do much and Neer seemed very close to a good submission locking in.
Round two: Neer has a small mouse under the left eye and cut on the bridge of his nose. Leg kick from Neer finds its mark. Both guys land a leg kick simultaneously. Nice right left combo from Pellegrino. Big right from Pellegrino and then he shoots in and has one leg while Neer sprawls out. Pellegrino relentless and sucks it in and finishes the take down. Neer tries and almost gets a triangle choke but Pellegrino again slips out. Full guard for Neer as Pellegrino tries to improve position. Nice right from Pellegrino. Nice elbows from the bottom from Neer. Neer with another brief arm bar attempt but misses and now he goes right to another triangle attempt and Pellegrino is trying to pass during the attempt and slips into half guard and out of the submission. Pellegrino now in full mount!!! Neer gives up his back and Pellegrino has both hooks and is looking to finish the fight!! Thats the bell, again Pellegrino 10-9 easy for his domination on top. Neer though has been really close to locking in a submission mutiple times so lets see if he wants to keep it on the feet or try to keep working from the bottom.
Round three: Body kick from Pellegrino and Neer with a front kick. Pellegrino dives in and lands another take down effortlessly hes 3 for 3. Familiar spot for both fighters as Pellegrino is on top in the dominant position, while Neer tries to lock in a desperate submission attempt instead of trying to work his way back to his feet. Elbow from Neer on the bottom and it looks like Pellegrino is bleeding from the top of his head. Pellegrino posturing up to do some damage. Neer with another triangle attempt and again Pellegrino shrugs it off with ease. Half guard for Neer and Pellegrino is still working his way to the mount. Full mount for Pellegrino!! Neer slips out and is finally on top himself but with only 30 seconds left its too little to late. Back to the feet and Pellegrino goes for a take down and Neer sprawls out and now is landing some big elbows on Pellegrino unanswered!!! Thats the bell there was not enough time left for Neer and Pellegrino should take this fight unanimously.
Final result: Kurt Pellegrino defeats Josh Neer via Unanimous Decision

bj Penn got this by whatever he wants in the 2nd round, after his lost to gsp he’s gonna come in focused
Anderson silva tko in the first round

we will have a new LW champion after this, bj is overrated, and the rest of MMA has passed him by, becuse of his laziness, lack of commitment, and motivation. k-flo by tko 4th round

lol, BJ is the best LW in the world and has only lost at WW to Hughes (who he beat when he was in his prime) and GSP!

I hope Kenny breaks his jaw so he cann’t talk after the fight. BJ is the best right now but Florian is on a roll! And Anderson vs. Forrest? Where have I been? Awsome fight. I like Forrest so I think Silva has bitten off more than he can chew. Also, I would hope they show Alessio Sakara vs. Thales Leites, and George Sotiropoulos vs. Rob Emerson.

lol, Silva “bitten off more than he can chew” in Forrest? Maybe if he were fighting Fedor at 205, but Forrest?

Silva by TKO. Stop hating on BJ guys, you may not like him but you can’t deny a man’s talent because you hate him.
BJ is amazing at 155 and considered to be the best in the world by 90% or more of the MMA community at 155.
With a loss to GSP (who is HUGE compared to BJ) everyone thinks BJ isn’t any good anymore? I think his new focus and dedication will be shown against a very game Kenny.
by Bennie Blanco on May 31, 2009 3:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Relax Bennie, AKA “BJ nut hugger”. I know GSP was bigger. BJ has a BIG mouth and needs to stop acting like a sissy. There I will say it!!! He is the best 155 out there right now and that is why he is champ.. But Kenny has earned this shot and I think he will take it.
by iagoof22 on May 31, 2009 8:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
BJ and Kenny both at their best: BJ takes it hands down.
BJ off and Kenny at his best: Kenny has a solid chance.
I know Kenny will be at his best.
I don’t know if BJ will be at his best.
So I put a little on Kenny knowing I might lose it.
Thant was my logic.
Having said that, I dumped a lot of money on Neer. I bet on McCrory and Silva (even though I will pull for Forrest), but Neer is my money boy. I will be biting my nails during that fight.

BJ! BJ ! BJ! WOW, ADAM G, I know you copied the list of who was on who’s side, I said RNC 4th rd, that was my prediction, ADAM G confirm it. I said BJ PENN wins 4th rd RNC, best prediction I ever made. And A. Silva, I am completely WOW’d by, I thought Forrest was gonna put up a fight, but wow. That was crazy, Silva is such a monster, I have to take back all bad things I said about his last 2 performances. I was wrong, and I am not ashamed to admit it. I will eat my words on everything I said about A. Silva, his striking skills are insane.

how is he overated at lw,he has long been known as the best LW in the world,and I really do not like BJ,but your statement is just plain ignorant,you should have your MMA fan card pulled.I will be pulling for Florian,but I am not stupid enough to say that Cry baby J is not the ,as of right now, best LW in the world .

I would be surprised if Kenny defeats BJ.. I’m a fan of both Martial Artists.. BJ Penn @ 155 is Micheal Jordan in his Prime.. unbeatable.. Wow.. Anderson Silva 2.. is blazing this card hot fire. My bleak reality puts me.. every few minutes or so.. on this forum.. to check out the results.. I’m thankful just that at this point.

Not too smart picking against BJ after he had a bad showing last time. Same goes for the Spider. Both guys were dominant as I expected to prove to everybody they still are the rulers as champions.
by sudnvictory on Aug 9, 2009 1:04 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ok buddy first all. Whos takin Bj anytime soon! Kenny was the Number one contender bucko and still Bj worked his the entire fight.
Everyone whos a champ in the UFC is gonna be there for a while gaurenteed.
UFC has broughtin itself to a level noone expected.
The Champs and The Best fighters in the world. They’re all unstoppable.
George St, Pierre Rapped Thiago Alves all five rounds.
Anderson Silva makin griffin, look like a little girl and doesnt even make it out of the first round.
BJ Penn, Leave him alone. Homeboy’s a G!
Lesnar, Beast straight up
Lyoto Machita, whoopid rashads ass.
Stop hatin on the champs.
there champs for a reason!

god damn! you fall for any promotion scam, do you actually watch the fights, you probably picked BJ= blowjob to beat gsp, bj got lucky aganced hughs, they keep saying he beat hughs when he was at his best, the fight was one of hugh least entertaining fights, like he didnt care about defending the belt anymore, bj barely beat pulver, shit i could beat pulver, i know theres alota fags that like mma, especially blowjob fans,,…oh im sorry….*bj fans, time and time again these losers come on here picking the stupidest fighters, actualy im disappointed that this is all the lightwaights have to offer as a champ, i can name 20-30 fighters better then blowjob,anyways dont fall for anymore dicksuckers opinions like this guys, also amir sucks as well,look for the upset

Just out of Curiosity, would you please name the 20 or 30 fighters tht are better then BJ at 155#. That maybe the most ridiculous statement made hands down in any MMA Forum in the last 5 years that I have been in them. So you pick’em better then the pros and the fighters themselves? The over all majority of fighters, not keyboard warriors, FIGHTERS have BJ as the #1 155#er. Please back your statement up with facts, not opinions…
by Da Monkey on Aug 8, 2009 10:46 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
only 2 fight deserving of main card status imo, even though i’m a huge fan of Pellegrino, and watching him kick the sh*t out of Neer will be really cool, it’s still not main card ppv worthy. It would make a great fightnight co main event though.

I mean really Amir S? 1st fight in the ufc after winning tuf like 3 years ago? UNDERCARD!! and dont even get me started on how uninteresting Kendell grove is…
by JRE on May 31, 2009 12:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That’s exactly what i thought when i saw the lineup. Pellegrino is the definition of a choke-artist. He’s got world beater skills but i won’t ever bet on him to step up.
by NameNotRequired on May 31, 2009 1:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
More like how uninteresting Ricardo Almeida is. Kendall is not a dull fighter by any means. Getting knocked out or dishing out punishment, Kendall brings it. He’s gonna knock out Almeida I think.
Pellegrino/Neer you say is co-main event for UFN, but not MAIN CARD worthy of a PPV?? lol. Thats dumb logic there. Co-main event UFN usually are PPV openers… which is what that fight is. And Neer will break Pellegrino.
I think Kenny can outwork BJ till the final bell, but I dont think he can finish him. I think if BJ wins, it will be in the 2nd round. If not, Kenny is new champ.
And I hope Forrest wins, but I’m being realistic, so Anderson by TKO in the 2nd.

Yeah I am. I think Anderson will finish him in the 2nd. I think Forrest is game enough to last a round.

I think Neer-Batman will be one of the more exciting fights of the year with Neer winning on a late TKO. Kill-Flo via arm triangle in the 4th. I think Forrest tries to use his size to bully Silva against the cage until getting choked out in the 3rd. I hope Sotiropoulis somehow simultaneously breaks Tha Og From Tha OC’s jaw and arm. The rest of the fights do not interest me.

Sounds like someone is a lil sour. I will be leaving for the arean in 3 hours, but why the fuck am i hearing reports about the first bout not starting till 8. On the ticket it says 7:15. 6 fights in 2 hours. Pushin it i think.

This is a good card and a great main event! BJ better be fit and ready for a war because Kenny will be, I am not betting on this fight since it well be a close one to call. Nice to see Kendall back on the show fights, hopefully he’ll stick around for a while. I love Forest but I don’t think he’ll have the game plan to be Anderson and Silva will KO him in the second round, kind like the Sandman.
by mmamac on May 31, 2009 12:37 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I agree, one of Forrest’s best weapons is the leg kick, and we all saw how well that one worked for Irvin in his fight against The Spider. (Not to mention how Rashad was able to capitalize on it against Forrest when he took the belt.) Forrest better be focusing on wrestling and closing the distance – if he can use his size as a big 205er he may have a chance in hell of not being utterly dismantled.

i think bj will retire after thus loss, we have to remember bj is 4-4 his last 8 fights, he will realize after this latest loss, he no longer has the heart, or excuses to explain away his losses. todays lws are all well rounded, just as big as bj, stronger, with way better cardio. talent doesnt cut it by itself anymore. hOPE KFLO is an underdog because i will make lots of money
by dtoto on May 31, 2009 1:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
But he is 3-1 in his last four, and the 3 came at 155.
by Parks on May 31, 2009 4:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
BJ will beat Kenny. Sherk bloodied Kenny up and beat him, out muscled him….I know KenFlo has been on a roll since then….All other things being more or less equal, I think BJ is a bigger,stonger fighter then Kenny and if he comes into the fight with good cardio, he should win by TKO in the 3rd round.Go Neer!!!

This card is alright, obviously the top 2 are solid match ups. Id rather see John Howard vs. Tamdan McCrory or Alessio Sakara vs. Thales Leites on the main card instead of Kendall or Amir.

Switch Sakara/leites with the Sodalla/Hendricks and we have at least 4 fights that are interesting!

LOl bj lost to pulver, a fighter that cant even beat featherweights, hughes is just a gatekeeper, and would get destroyed by the top WWs, facts are BJ is 4-4 his last 8 fights, no matter how you spin it, bj has lost almost one out of evry 3 fights, when kenny finishes him, you will finally wake up and realize how overated he is

8 fights ago for BJ was some 5 1/2 years ago….what a dumbass statistic to throw out. Let’s talk about what he’s done recently and that is rule the lightweight division at 4-0 in his last 4 LW fights.

No one knows for sure who will win until it happens. How can Bj be over rated!? This dude moves u to heavyweight to fight Machida! Just because of his loss to arguably the top 1 or 2 pound for pound Gsp!? Kenflow is good and I would like to see him win but I dont see it happening unless maybe gsp gave him some pointers on greasing and getting away with it LOL nah but watch this video if you have not already http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvk5kp7sRHw and even if he did Ken doesnt have the size and power advantage that gsp had over bj

that was many yrs ago, when machida was just starting out, machida and evryone else has evolved, bj has stood still, because he has no dedicaton, discipline, is unmotivated, and trains with a shitty camp. If bj wins more than one round against kflo, i will admitt your right, if he doesnt get bjs nuts away from your chin, and realize he isnt the god you make him out to be

How is Bj not a complete fighter he has sick Bjj (black belt) and he can strike damn good ask sherk or daddy or even gsp on their first fight.. Im not making him out to be a god thats funny though I just call it like I see it. How do you know how he trains or how motivated he is are you training with him?? Bj is the best 55er in the world he is good thats what im saying every1 seems to bash him for his last fight. I like Kenflo but you gotta beat the champ to be the champ.

like i said, the proof will be in the results, watch the fight in august, if bj wins more than one round i will admitt you are right, if kflo wins the fight, and wins at least 4 out of the five rounds, or stops bj before that just admitt you were wrong about how great bj is deal?

You an Ididot Just cause he lost to a huge Gsp Thats nothing to be asahamed of he has 20 lbs of muscle on him!!
by Nor-Cal Mexican (formely phlicutioner) on May 31, 2009 5:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
BJ was too small compared to GSP and he got owned because of size and strength not to much i think GSP is a much more well rounded fighter but he still has enough to beat K-Flo
Anderson has been boring in his past 2 fights and Griffin never backs down from a fight so this should be an exciting fight. Forrest said it himself a while back:
“Im not that technically gifted but throw me in against anyone at 205 and ill make it a fight”
Cant wait for the main events but the card on a whole is poor!

no bj didnt just get owned because of size and strenght only, he got owned because gsp, is just a more skilled, and better fighter period. even if bj was the same weight, and had the same muscle same thing would happen to him. BJ has more holes in his game than gsp. GSPs overall standup is better than bjs, bj is just a boxer, with no leg kicks, gsps wrestling is better tahn bjs by far, only thing bj has advantage is bjj, and gsp has rapidly closed the gap on that also, as he is a bb bjj also, and goes to brazil to train with the best, we dont have to mention anything, about cardio, dedication, work ethic either, because gsp has bj beat there also, so for all you bj nutthuggers who think gsp only beat bj because of his size you are dead wrong

also gsp has far better takedown defense, and takedowns than bj, sorry forgot to mention that, so give gsp props he is far more skilled
by dtoto on Jun 1, 2009 10:02 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
GSP does not have better takedown defense than bj. and the weight advantage does play a big part. i am not doggin on GSP he is an amazing fighter and ultimately i think the final result would have been the same had bj gained more muscle but it would have been a more even fight.

yes bj is a wicked fighter and i will always love him for handing hughes his first loss..BUT..he better be flawless when he fights cuz his attitude of late has put a real downer on what i think of him…
amir had better be something spectacular too after all this non fight b.s…

I see Forrest taking this one in a decision or surprise submission again. I am not sure why, he just seems to lift on the big occassion’s (most recently Shogun and Rampage). No one gives him a chance in this one, so it will be interesting to see how he performs. Looking forward to it.

What Latino!? The main event and co main event are sweet I truely believe Kenny is going to give BJ his toughest fight at 155 win or lose doesn’t matter if your not cheering for this might be one of the best fights to watch for any MMA fan enjoy it man. And Silva has his biggest test today, I know most believe Silva has too much talent for Forrest but I think Forrest will give us fans once again another great showing. Even if Forrest doesn’t win I think he will get respect for making Silva look at least human for once. And all the other fights or pretty even fights and should equal good entertainment.

Forrest Griffin vs Anderson Silva? Should be a good fight. Two amazing fighters, just, different styles. They both have a chance. I’m pulling for Griffin, and whp knows? That guy will and has pulled threw some pretty tough fights, something that other guys Silva has faced haven’t been able to do. So he has a real shot. I like Silva, but I’m hoping on Griffin to win. And Florian over Penn, any day. BJ is a good fighter, and he lost to GSP, not only because he is larger, but GSP is a good fighter. I just think Florian will do as much as he can to get the belt, and I think BJ won’t commit.

Basically Captain Hendricks caught Amir who went down on all 4’s and Hendricks was punching with nothing more than grazing punches while entire time Amir was moving around and looking at Hendricks and was standing back up when the dumb bald ref stepped in and stopped the fight.

Spins a web, any size,

Look Out!
Here comes the Spiderman.
Is he strong?
Listen bud,
He’s got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread
Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Spiderman.
In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time.
Spiderman, Spiderman
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
Wealth and fame
He’s ingnored

You’re right. Silva is on a different level, but when guys don’t attack him he just keep waiting around to counter instead of attacking himself. It’s probably smart on his part, but boring as hell when he fights somebody who isn’t aggressive.

i agree! Robert Drysdale made himself look like a pure idiot. He first should have contemplated the chances of the fight ever going to the ground. Griffin looked tentative with every strike even past the ‘feeling out process’ and that let Silva time his movement. Griffin looked intimidated after the first knockdown. Drysdale would have been safer saying Griffin would knock out Silva. That would have been the safer bet to me with how Silva’s standup looked. Obviously these comments are after the fact, but Drysdale should at least know Silva’s ground game before comparing Griffin’s in the countdown. S*$t, is drysdale looking for a future beatdown from Silva

I think so…Drysdale as BJJ blackbelt himself should know a BJJ black belt from the NOG’s is no joke. Especially considering he wanted to train in their camp. I wonder if he beat Forrest as badly as he did to show up Forrest or to make Drysdale feel like an ass…

What was that? Kenny is gonna get beat by BJ??
by sudnvictory on Aug 9, 2009 1:20 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ok I think Florian is going to give BJ his toughest fight at 155lbs since his loss to Jens in 2002. If it goes to rnd 4 that means Kenny is doing a great job and I believe Kenny wins a dec. Either way, Kenny will prove himself tonight as a great 155lb fighter worthy of being in the cage with BJ Penn… now watch me endup eating my words lol!!!

I’m so freakin nervous right now with butterflies in my stomach. I love BJ but I’m just not sure about this fight. I see UD by Kenny

Kenny is for sure the 2nd best LW in the world, infact, I don’t think anyone would even come close to beating him, but BJ is #1 and he’ll prove it again tonight.

Maybe? Sanchez is no joke. But beyond BJ and Sanchez, I would never bet against Kenny.

I see BJ going out with a bang and redeemimg himself. Florian KO’d second round:)

Florian is mentally tougher… it’s going to the 3rd rnd

I got BJ winning 1st 3 rnds but Kenny hanging tough! He can take a shot. Kenny should go for the takedown but move up to the clinch and use knees and elbows.

Florian can’t take BJ down. As long as BJ doesn’t gas, Kenny will be lucky to make it to a decision.

BJ Penn still the best 155lbr in the world… LOL did Goldie just say 2 of the classiest men in UFC History! LOL… BJ CLASSy! lol freakin’ Goldie!

well at least kenny didn’t run out of the cage like someone slapped his ice cream cone outa his hand.

Man…“Somebody KILLED KENNY”
HA!
Kenflo had nothing on BJ.
The biggest surprise is that BJ didn’t gas. (at least that bad)

All you “experts” keep posting your hate blogs about how you want Silva to lose and How Ken Flo was gonna dominate and win b/c you hated BJ so much. Guess you idiots were 0-2. Hope your boyfriends hide the razor blades tonight otherwise there’s gonna be a lotta homosexuals in body bags 2moro morning. By the way Silva is amazing and anyone who disrespects him is a fool!

+1
these dumbasses just don’t learn.
…And anybody giving “Huggy-Flo” any rounds is too caught up in there hate of BJ. Hugging someone to death against the cage = 0 points.
BJ rocked huggy-flow several times throughout the fight, punished in the clinch, won the stand-up and stuffed every one of those pathetic takedowns.

alright jeremy jackson, ugh…. this is so degrading. good call on the griffin fight. i missed it by a mile. either forrest looked horrible or silva is the most dominant fighter ever. im not sure hendo should rematch him anymore. his standup is on another level.

BJ is the man………at 155. No denying that. He now needs to stay there and cement his legacy as one of the greatest champions ever.
by Jake on Aug 9, 2009 7:50 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Silva picked apart Griffin. The last punch didn’t seem powerful but Silva hurt him earlier. You can’t deny the man when he wants no more punishment from Silva.

Kenny tapped!! Poor, poor Kenny. The new gatekeeper.

I think Griffin is a disgrace and a punk! He went out like a little bitch!!!!

I don’t see Ken as the gatekeeper. I believe Ken is the 2nd best 155er in the world just not good enough to beat BJ.
by rydinlow on Aug 9, 2009 1:00 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeh right…he was the 2nd best 155er going into the fight. BJ picked him apart in the standup and I don’t even think KenFlo won a round. BJ was just waiting for the break in space after the clinches against the cage to impose his counter boxing will. His gameplan worked and it does make KenFlo look like a gatekeeper with all the effort he exerted to do Jack s@$t against BJ in the 4 rounds. BJ sharpened his conditioning which KenFlo was looking to exploit. KenFlo just didn’t back up s$@t and I’m suprised he continued w his game plan after the first 3 rounds w how BJ looked. He just played into the inevitable takedown ending his demise!

So, since Silva didn’t even break a sweat tonight, can we assume he’ll be fightinh Hendo in Nov/Dec? And I can already smell KenFlo v Carpenter for 155 gatekeeper.
by Mark on Aug 9, 2009 1:05 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Kenny did a good job, considering… BJ just too good at 155lbs. IMO it’s either Diego or Maynard next for BJ… I can’ think of who else can take BJ on and give him a challenge in the UFC? Those are the only 2 guys that come to mind.
by DAVE A on Aug 9, 2009 1:05 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
So, since he didn’t even break a sweat, is it Spider v Hendo in Nov/Dec? And I can smell a Fight Night headliner of KenFlo v The Carpenter from a mile away.
by Mark on Aug 9, 2009 1:08 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Silva is amazing. Made Forrest look like an amateur. Completely outclassed him. Hendo cant match up. Lets see GSP Silva. GSP has the best chance cuz of his commitment to takedowns off late. BJ is a legend enuff said. Great night of fighting

I’m the biggest Silva fan, but I can’t even celabrate that victory. WTF Forrest, you little baby. That was the most pathetic display I have ever seen in the ring. UFC please do not pump this guy up as a guy that has lots of heart, he showed they exact opposite. How the hell do you give up like that? What does Dana White do with this chump now. What a mockery to the 205 weight class and all it’s previous champions.

first timer… BJ is the champ, so he is obviously at the top, its just too bad that he has such a big mouth and no respect, perhaps its just to hype the fights, but Hawaiians are not the most intelligent people (then again, there are alot of ignorant people out there). I can’t believe Forrest’s effort, I am sure he is totally humiliated. Tito has a big mouth too but at least he tried to stand up to the ego maniac Dana W. The fighters should really get together and control the fate of the UFC, most of them get totally taken advantage of, the pay is a joke, and one has to really try to kiss up to Dana if they want to fight, what a shame. Hopefully someone intelligent will unite the fighters and make things a lot more fair.
Thanks

Anderson is my boy
Hes just sucha G.
Forrest couldnt fuck with the talent and sheer intelligence of Silva.
And Forrest couldnt have looked like a bigger bitch.
All that bullshit about Bj needs to stop.
Because all you fools doggin him sound stupid when he tends to shut your mouths time an time again.
Hes a G.
Florian got worked yo!

Well, at least Silva did us a favor about clearing up who the #1 P4P is. GSP a complete game, but he doesn’t utterly clown former Champ and make them look like amateurs.
Only Machida can hand with Silva and I don’t believe they will fight. That fight might also be one in which neither guy can lad a strike.
Thank the mma gods that BJ won and he won like he did. That was could not have been more needed after the GSP fight.
He wasn’t hit with a significant strike all fight, he defended the takedowns brilliantly, he showed strength and condition (thank you Marv) and he f’n FINISHED THE FIGHT.
RNC, baby. The classic Penn finish.
Diego is next.
Great job, BJ!

I always wondered what goes on in these sites, pretty entertaining. I think I agree with most things I read that BJ is at the top (or he would not be champ) but his big mouth & lack of respect makes him a hard person to cheer for (like Brock) is it so hard to be a gentleman or a good embassador to the sport?). I can’t believe Forrest, it really seemed like he was druged or took a dive, what a shame.
On an other note, as much as I dislike Tito, he did try to stand up to that ego maniac Dana for the rights of fighters, it is ridiculous how badly they pay a lot of fighters, everybody has to be nice to Dana if they want to fight, I mean the guy puts himself on the covers of magazines.
The fighters should all ban and better dictate their fate, instead of being raped by the greed of Dana & the owners of the ufc.
Thanks

Forrest tapped due to strikes last fight and now this? Maybe the UFC is finally realizing that he is NOT THAT GOOD!!!!!

Come on people, give the man a break! He puts on the best fights UFC has ever seen. Anyone can be beat! No one said Tito sucked when Chuck beat his brains out twice!

We need to see Anderson Silva or GSP drop a weight class or go up one and have them fight, maybe then Silva will have some competition.
