Though BJ is a freak of nature, his actual advancements beyond his natural gifts aren't impressive... Seriously, a man of that caliber needs to understand the importance of being able to last more than 2 rounds! If he were to train on that alone, maybe then he will have what it takes to be the number 1 pound for pound fighter in my eyes GSP has some of the most advanced variety of skills ever seen.

I 2nd that emotion.... and think that were it not for some big fight jitters he might have won the 1st hughes fight too. Actually I'd love to see him add Sanchez to the above list..... As per GSP…..

Its just too bad MMA fights aren't two rounds. :-( BJ Penn is the best 2 round fighter MMA has ever seen. Its just too bad MMA fights aren’t two rounds. :-(

Did you bother to read the whole article, or did you just gloss over it? Talk about a gross exaggeration. But that seems to be the trend these days, to respond to someone's article and say "this has been written a million times." Good lord. Big Fish, to my knowledge, there is nothing to the rumor that Frankie Edgar will be fighting Takanori Gomi. It's a rumor that I believe to be pure fabrication at this point. I can make some further inquiries though. Fujin, what I stated in its entirety has not been written 5 gajillion times. Did you bother to read the whole article, or did you just gloss over it?

I have the disagree though. BJ's B game grappling can probably beat Stevenson's A game grappling. Honestly though only idiots count almost any fighter out now. I don't see Stevenson winning but who knows.
