It saddens me how disrespected BJ is by new fans who never saw him coming up. I mean partly you can't blame them, if you just judge BJ by his record it might not be as impressive as some of the other greats by W-L's alone. But that's partly cause of things that has happened to BJ through no fault of his own. INJUSTiCES. I will go through 4 that comes to mind right now.
1. Edgar Penn 1. This fight was a flat out robbery, till the day they lay me to the ground I will contend BJ won it 49-46. Frankie did nothing effectively this fight until the 5th round. This is one of the travesties never discussed in this sport. It completely changed teh trajectory of BJ's career. after this fight BJ's camp fell apart, he got goaded into a quick rematch where he summarily lost and that started the downward spiral of his career. If he gets the rightful decision, Edgar probably doesn't get a rematch and we are looking at the definitive LW GOAT's career
2. Hughs Penn 2. Penn was straight up dominating Matt standing and on the ground for 2 entire rounds till he tweaked his rib rolling. Anyone who watched this fight will tell you Penn would have destroyed Hughes if it weren't for the injury, which was not caused by Matt and just a freak accident. This was the first real blemish of Penn's career. If he didn't tweak his rib, he would have beaten Hughes in his 2nd fight back to the UFC and again became the 1st 3 time champ
3. Penn vs Pulver 1. Penn straight up tapped Pulver but was saved by the bell, if the round had gone on 2 seconds, he has a submission win instead of a decision loss.
4. Penn vs GSP 1. That was a draw. Penn put that guy in the hospital. to this day Georges still get shivers down his back and harkons back to those days in the streets of Quebec where his manhood was dashed at the hands of young French Canadian schoolyard bullies when he thinks about this fight.
If you adjust for these errors, Penn's a 19-2 fighter
EDITED
Fuck it, I wasn't gonna even go greasegate, but the haters have me heated. Georges CHEATED for the rematch. CHEATED. BROKE THE RULES. decisions get overturned cause fighters mix up supplements, but BJ can't get a decision when Georges literally apply lubricant to HIMSELF?!
and he beat Caol Uno 2nd tme too.
