Any updates on BJ Penn? How he is training or looking this past week of something?

You're out of your mind if you think a shopworn, past his prime fighter who is dropping to a weight that he's never been at before, is going to do anything but look like a zombie and take a prolonged ass kicking. See: Oscar De La Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao

So your telling me, BJ Penn is over the hill?

I doubt he is close to 145 right now anyways. They still have a whole season of TUF to shoot and air on TV. That fight isn't going down for a long ass time so we probably wont see how good of shape he is in until maybe what 5 months out or so? I mean hes training and all but there still a lot of time to see how in shape he is

Lol I know he is motivated, I just want to see what he is up to. When your training with Barao and Aldo at Nova Uniao. Im pretty sure he's coming to pound Frankie out or sub him. Penn destroys Frankie in the 3rd fight viciously.

I assume training with those guys without being motivated would be torturous.

Frankie has not been stopped--he went five rounds with Aldo--and it likely will not happen for quite some time.

I need to see him in Marinovich shape before I give him a significant chance

Same here. If BJ comes in good shape and the weight cut goes fine, I think he'll be the 1st to finish Frankie. Otherwise he loses much like he did in the 2nd fight.
 
Last time I checked he was training with Arona and Sherk

Tuf is done
 
this all sounds like a terrible idea. a great fighter who hasn't looked good in a while. dropping to a new weight class (2 classes lower than he has fought in a couple of years). fighting a younger guy who has beaten him twice. returning to a reality tv show where he came off as a bit of an ass the last time he was on it

it all looks bad to me

I was hoping that BJ would come back at 155 and fight somebody with a better style match up

I am hoping having the fight at 145 will BJ more of a speed advantage which is much needed against the quicker Edgar, but for sure by going to 145 BJ will have more of a weight advantage then at 155
 
What's up with the bj haters? Bj is a great fighter. He will be in top shape guranteed. Hes fighting for his legacy not money. Hell come in proper. Hes training his ass off, he has to much pride to lef edgar beat him a 3rd time. Even though the first fight was a robbery.
