If taking fights you shouldn't take is GOAT, then yes, BJ is GOAT.

One of the saddest fights ever in MMA.

stopped caring about Penn in 2009/2010. Too many excuses for losing fights when it was clear he was doing nothing about the giant gaping hole in his game; his cardio.

Motivated bj maybe, but how often did that happen

 

[AxekickfromDiaz]

I agree.

 

[BigMuffler]

The only reason Frankie won that fight is that being made to feel so short made him angry.

TS's logic is obviously flawed, but...

dominant run as lw champ
2 division champ
beat 2nd best ww of all time in his prime
plenty of big names on his win list
size of small lw, held his own against GSP, Fitch, and Machida

That doesn't even look like Penn.
Almost a year later and I still don't think anyone knows what the fuck BJ was doing in that fight...

Goat means greatest of all time. You can't be a greatest of all time. You can only be THE greatest of all time, and that's GSP

Gotta say, both guys were very high level at that time, but even so, those have to be among the 2 worst "fights" I've ever seen.

Edgar was winning based on everything I hate about the Unified Rules, the cage, and the judging.
Getting rid of the cage and using a Ring or square cage would be awesome, or even using that smaller cage from the WEC. I really miss that small WEC cage.

Imagine yourself, average guy who trains, being put in the Octagon with LeSean McCoy. All you have to do is touch him once. It would be hell to catch him.
Now imagine you with him in a Ring. You'll be able to cut him off within the first 20 seconds.
