Since we're downing on ol' BJ, you guys should rewatch Penn-Hughes 1...it has not held up. The movement and jits in that fight is as clunky and outdated as the sound editing from '89 Batman. They're also quite slow. It's not even a good fight by today's standards, despite being a classic that had me leaping through my own ceiling with joy when Penn finished him.
His short run at LW is significantly better. Also, he beat Edgar in that stupid fucking Abu Dhabi event that was one travesty after another.
I wonder if MMA will be the one sport where the first greats don't become the all-time greats. The sport is evolving so rapidly that we've seen dudes rise, look unbeatable, and then chewed up all in a few years. We still haven't had the first generation of first-and-foremost mixed martial artists, or maybe that wave is just beginning.
