Edgar vs Penn

Let me get this straight, if Frankie wins that is a "hat-trick" for him over a mma great.
If BJ wins he then has a 2-1 record against Frankie.
What is the point of all this.
I thought both their first frights were fun but not worth seeing this one.
UFC going to announce super fight fun card happy meals now?
Can anyone explain why this is happening?

 

Kind of a late question to ask. It's happening because BJ wanted it. Edgar wanted to coach TUF.

 

it would be cool if bj finishes frankie in this third fight.

 

Both fighters have enough fans that a win over the other one will generate a lot of interest in future fights with guys at the top of the division.

 

I couldn't care less about this fight.

 

I couldn't care less about your post gtfo mma legend fighting maybe for the last time and you could care less??? plz stop watching mma

 

Because Frankie has to kill Penn.

 

bj will be 1 - 2 (i think wins come before losses)
i am just a can, i could be wrong

 

I'm only interested because it's BJ's 145 debut.

 

Penn wanted to fight Frankie, and Frankie was down for an easy fight.

 

yawn.

Frankie already beat him twice.

TUF is a joke.

BJ is IRRELEVANT in 2014.

 

once by robbery and shouldn't matter cuz this might be BJ's last fight, considering he is top 10 p4p all time and fighting possibly one last time should be enough for any mma fan to get pumped for the fight so gtfo like I said earlier

 

BJ looks so old now. I think Edgar is going to crush him. BJ just needs to let go and move on.

 

I still can't grasp the fact this fight is actually happening
Every part of my being wants a shredded up bj Penn to murk frankie and make a quick title run

 

Frankie will put the final nail in the coffin of Penn's career.

 

It's happening for a lot of reasons.

1. BJ asked for it because he wants to eradicate the losses.

2. If BJ beats Frankie it means he is a beast at 145 and could revitalize his career.

3. Frankie's name is big enough to coach TUF against BJ, unlike any other contender at 145.

 

This. Edgar beat him handily in the second fight (the first was fairly close) and a few years have passed between then and now. Plus BJ is fighting at an unfamiliar weight, hard to see how he wins (other than being one tough SOB and an all time great).

 

I think edger won twice already so its 0 for 2. A win will make it 1-2-0

 

Be honest, Frankie won the first fight with BJ only on judges' scorecards. It should be 1-1 in their matches.

 

BJ asking for this fight is like Matt Hughes calling out GSP again.
