I got to say, a prime & motivated BJ Penn would take out all of these guys...

[LilNicky95]

Olives, Chandler, Dariush,Gathje and Dustin would have nothing for him.


Penn has become the laughing stock of Sherdog and you got drug-fried Rogan who keeps hallucinating about the “evolution of MMA” but NOT one of the current guys would have anything on the BJ Penn that was training with Marv Marinovich.


On the ground, Penn was elite(better than Olives yes, Penn just liked to scrap on the feet) and he had better boxing than any of these guys AND a better chin.


How quickly MMA fans forget the greats after they fall off.

Go back to highschool, try to finish it this time

I also agree a very good fighter has a solid chance of beating other very good fighters.

Show me a modern day mma athlete who can jump out of a pool without using their hands and I’ll show you a champion.

 

[Simple Southerner]

 

[The Bloody Nine]

When you have to add 'motivated' while bigging up a fighter you've already lost.

No need, got that G.E.D.


Don’t hate.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Fight finder users, Hughes and Georges huggers, Khabib fiends, Gomi fanatics and Penn haters are going to descend on this thread like a pack of wild dogs.

And I must say, I think Penn could give these guys a ton of fits in his prime and when his cardio wasn't an issue.

To the aforementioned...

The BJ Penn that showed up to fight Diego would be a problem for anyone. Unfortunately his time on top of the sport has passed.

These new fans are dumb and uneducated, possibly inbred.

Penn would go thru these current guys like a hot knife thru fresh poke.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

Motivated Penn would be the HW champ.

you sir are dumb.

 

[Iron Nick]

Lol prime BJ Penn was as good as it gets, but to say that guys like Poirier, Oliveira and Gaethje would have "nothing for him" is nonsense.

 

[Kha'bless]

How many times did Penn lose in his prime to an EVEN SMALLER MIDGET IN FRANKIE FUCKING EDGAR?

 

[Fesaine]

Penn wouldn't even crack the top 20. The lightweight division has evolved tremendously since the BJ day.

Lightweight was a wasteland back then, now it's arguably the most stacked division in mma history.

 

[LilNicky95]

Motivated Penn would be the HW champ.

He would tap Francis Nogroundu

 

[LilNicky95]

you sir are dumb.

Perhaps better self reflection is needed for you.

 

[Epicman1324]

2007-2008 Penn finishes Gaethje and Chandler, close fight against Olives and probably loses to Poirier.

 

[H41ph_84k3d]

Penn was the shit. Just cause he got tapped and lost miserably a few times doesn't mean shit.
