Get 2003-2004 Penn and I'm in.
I think BJs BJJ at one point was superior and he was a natural talent who put in the four hardest years of work towards a black belt..... and hasn't done much to progress since. MMA has come a long way on the ground since BK was the best... the avg UFC caliber guy negates BJ's ground game at this point.
Why would he? He trains under Cesar Gracie, with the scrap pack... Diaz already beat Penn. Ofc im not saying he would train with Diaz, but probably with that Fat old dude that i don't know the name. He's probably a boxing expert. Also, Penn is far away from his prime. Kron by pulling guard and doing bjj magic.Kron's crew would be insane to take that fight. Mad balls if they do.
Good fight at this point in their careers. When penn was at a better phase this fight would be a brutal mismatch due to pens hands. Today with how slow, telegraphed and out of sync penn is I see Gracie holding his own standing and then dominating on the mat.
Penn anywhere near his prime though would have destroyed Gracie 99 times out of a 100 with ease anywhere
BJ is ripe for the picking. Make the call team Gracie.
Welcome to MMA.Like Rickson vs Funaki, wait til a legend is old and broken down then profit off his name. They should add a bunch of absurd special rule requests that almost cause the fight to get cancelled for the full GJJ experience.
