At what exact moment did you 100% know the Prodigy was doomed?

[notsojollyroger]

The Penn fan in me wanted to dismiss the two black holes that passed for Penn’s eyes on weigh-in day. I chalked it up to age and maybe bad lighting. I also forgave his less-than-spectacular muscle tone on the scale. “Penn never had GSP muscles,” I told myself. “Abs don’t mean shit when fighting, anyway.”

My comeback dreams for Penn didn’t completely implode until the actual Octagon stare down. Standing face-to-face with Yair, Penn looked like a cross between Golem and a Scottish-fold kitten.

The podium is yours…

2010?

 

[SuperSprawl]

When he was mincing around in his last fight.

 

[LiLoMMA]

My hope was alive until round 2... I felt really dumb afterwards tho

 

[Chomsky Honk]

blocked kick that made him do the stanky leg

 

[ChodeofAges]

First Edgar fighter

 

[Rav1nHunter]

Honestly once he started moving and his footwork was plodding and slow at that point I knew Yair was in for a highlight night.

 

[MMAAAM]

When he announced his comeback.

 

[Cylence]

Seconds in when Yair landed that first body kick, and Penn took half a step back.

 

[Marvelous Marvin]

When the speed differential became glaringly apparent.

 

[TM C]

The moment I saw this

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Sometime around 2011

 

[Gamer007]

When he clinched with Yair and couldn't get him down, he was a lot slower and just had nothing for Yair. Hopefully Andy and Fedor hold it down for the OG'S!

 

[Emjay]

As he was walking out throwing punches at the camera like it was 2005

 

[Rod Farva]

When he got swept off his feet by the low kick

 

[Mlgyogg]

Around the first GSP fight. Always has been overrated due to his BJJ, I feel. Fun fights he's had, but not even close to the moniker he's adopted.

 

[Crutchley29]

When he signed to fight. Regardless of his past accomplishments, current BJ would struggle on the regional circuit.

Yair is a good fighter, but he's also sloppy and will lose to the first proficient wrestler he faces, he is however, leagues ahead of BJ.

 

[Bonesy1116]

About 60 seconds in. He showed no ability whatsoever to deal with the leg kicks and a bit later when he landed a crisp shot, Yair didn't even notice. Game over.

 

[scardera]

when he quit between rounds against GSP

 

[Kingofthestreets]

When he got outclassed on the feet clinched but was not even close to being close for a takedown or whatevr he wanted to do.
Least now kenny florian is sold on yair
