jimufctna24 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Don't get me wrong, I also used to find Penn quite likeable and was a big admirer of his ability. But his ego was off the scale and it eventually hurt his career. Had he realised that he couldn't just rely on his ability to beat bigger and better-trained fighters, then he would have had much more success. In a weird way, his victory over Hughes in 2004 was bad for him. It made him think he could just coast and still have success. Fedor was almost as egotistical. He just hid it a lot better until his later years. Edited August 28, 2019 by jimufctna24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimufctna24 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Oh dear. New footage shows that Penn later got knocked to the ground. Although it appears that he did invite the punch that knocked him down - https://www.tmz.com/2019/08/28/bj-penn-bar-fight-hawaii-video/ Edited August 28, 2019 by jimufctna24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironic Indie Lad Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Pathetic, embarrassing, bleak...the BJ Penn story. Genuine prediction - BJ Penn dead via suicide within the next couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Maybe throw that dude in the cage with him for his next UFC fight, see if he can grab a win finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either he'll seriously assault someone or get done for something drug-related. Edited August 30, 2019 by jimufctna24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimufctna24 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I have mixed feelings about the Usman vs Covington fight. On one hand, it's a very interesting match-up, as both have established themselves as top welterweights. Covington's dominant performance over Lawler has also made many think that he can beat Usman. Nevertheless, I would still want both gagged until fight-night. Covington is essentially a mixture of Jim Davidson and Tito Ortiz. He's a mumbling bad-taste merchant. Usman, while not an unpleasant character, is also a terrible trash-talker. Their interaction after Covington beat Lawler was one of the most tedious things I have ever seen in MMA. I do wonder who or what is holding the fight up though. Covington asking for too much money perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Apparently there's talk of a Masvidal vs Usman fight now, which while ridiculous from an actual merit standpoint, would be an interesting fight nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted September 7, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2019 Yeah it seems to me like the UFC are going to kill off the potential Usman Vs Colby fight and the Masvidal Vs Diaz fight, as they are finding a hard time negotiating with at least two of the parties, and try and go with this Usman Vs Masvidal fight instead, like David says. Maybe they are hoping Jorge wins and then Nate will become a bit easier to deal with. There would be the title (with the extra money and higher profile that it being a main event would bring, probably having more importance for Nate I would think). If Jorge gets the belt though, Colby's fucked again, which would be pretty funny. I wouldn't be betting against Usman though, against any of these guys.
