Steve, you have some self-examining to do. BJ Penn completely and utterly dominated Joe. I know that he’s your golden boy, but the dude got beat up. He didn’t land more than 5 strikes in the entire fight. BJ looked better than he has in 5 years. On the Davis note. I would like to see a Karo fight. I dunno, just an idea.

Sean Sherk is a sad little man. I completely agree w/ Sam’s analysis, and cannot wait until BJ beats him into obscurity. I rolled my eyes when they introduced him before the Penn vs Daddy fight. The UFC has become as bad as old Don King by being absolutely SHAMELESS promoters.

As if Davis hasnt earnt the right to face Fitch. He’s earnt it I think more than Gono did and I think Davis/Fitch would be a lot more exciting than Gono/Fitch.

Make that fight happen! Who else is Fitch gonna fight?

All this grief just for standing up for Joe Daddy a little. Well lets see what kinda nerve this hits… Marcus Davis knocking out Gomi 1st minute 1st round. Make it happen UFC!

I don’t think Paul B. has a brain but he can still type words on the screen…

SteveXtreme I think you are typing out of hate for BJ. It was complet control through the whole fight. Joe was stunned by BJ’s punching power from the start and when Penn getts you down, as you saw, he doesnt let you up. Also, enough talk about his conditioning. This drop in weight was the best thing for BJ. He can go 5 rounds again, the question is “can anyone take him there?”

“Actually BJ had to prop up against Joe Rogan just to remain standing at the end of 1 and a half rounds. So that doens’t hold any water.” SteveXtreme

Watch Penn vs Hughs one and you will see when BJ wins he is so overcome with emotion he has a tough time standing and that fight was 1 min. So…… your statement “doens’t” hold any water.

I don’t think SteveXtreme deserves a computer, but he still has one… bring on Davis/Fitch. Let’s see how Davis stacks up. No hurt there.
