So who does BJ Penn fight now at UFC 199?

[SUBLIME FAN]

Yeah but there's a chance Penn knocks him stiff or gets the submission.

Mr Finland reminds you of Penn? Not me. Doo Ho Choi reminds me a lot of the Hilo kid though.

I see similarities just in the way Makwan goes out and finishes guys quick like BJ used to. And just they're killer instinct

Crusher wouldn't be a bad idea. Similar in age and been around a while. But I fear he could still LnP BJ.

Nice, good suggestion actually.

tiequan zhang
abel trujillo
jim miller
khabib
gilbert melendez but i think gils under suspension, but been a supper match since back in the day

Jim Miller would be a good idea, but BJ wants 145. And Jim has a fight at UFC 200.

Nice, good suggestion actually.

TS suggested it too. I agree it's a reasonable match up.

nik lentz is the only fight that makes sense at this point

 

[futuredave]

As a BJ fan, can I just vote he fights "no one."

And we can all pretend how motivated he was and how different this fight would have been from pretty much every fight since 2010.

 

[Bewareofdawg]

A Diego rematch would be the perfect fight for both of them at this point. Too bad they are training together now.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Kawajiri is the one that springs to mind, makes so much sense.

 

[kimocomplex]

Bring back Tom Niinimaki

 

[FadeLess]

Korean Zombie , Ricardo Lamas or Charles Oliveira

 

[SlickNickG]

Career wise id say oliveira. I think penn smokes him and thats about the highest ranked fw im confident he beats. Although kawajiri was the first to pop in my head when i heard the news

@BigNuggetIce You were my 10,000th like. Tank you .

 

[ABSthetics]

Give him a can please. Bash me all you want, I cant take seeing BJ getting beat down again now. Please, give him a fucking can, I'm already scared enough as it is when he was fighting Siver

Hell yeah lol

Makwan vs. Penn would be alright. It would raise Makwan's stock if he wins and would be pretty telling that BJ is done if that happened. Then again, if BJ wins, he can still hang with the prospects and would set him up for a bigger fight

Conor mcgrefor Definately undercard material

Let him get a few wins and maybe his stock will rise

Honestly I'm not even angry that Siver has pulled out because honestly if the best Siver showed up he could've been a horrible matchup for BJ. And I just didn't want to see BJ get beat by Siver.

So who do you think gets the fight now? One of my initial thoughts was Cub Swanson but then I realized they are both training at JW.

So...
I think maybe Cole Miller? Gray Maynard? Myles Jury? Tatsuya Kawajiri?

Also call me crazy, but
BJ Penn vs Makwan Amirkhani is a fight that's popped in my head a lot since finding out Siver was out. And that's I fight I would LOVE to see.

So who do you think it might be?
