Would Caol Uno be able to defeat BJ Penn nowadays?

I want to see Uno fight Mach again

BJ would tear the Japanese circuit apart from 145 to 170.

You know, we're talking about the same BJ that faced Edgar... looked like he could be beaten by Josh Clopton in that fight.

If he comes like in the Edgar fight or even like the Rory fight, I think he would have big trouble against the top Japanese guys (especially with 170'ers like Keita Nakamura, Gota Yamashita or Yuta Watanabe).

No way Jose

I'm a huge fan of Mach, but at this point I honestly don't want to watch him fight anyone.

amen it's funny seeing people name off these 170lb Asian guys that only 10 people in the contenders have heard of. No offense to Asian MMA fighters but other then Lyoto who fights out of Brazil they haven't exactly set the world on fire with talent.

BJ has his way with any Asian MMA fighters listed in this thread none of them can even lace the boots of the fighters who have beat BJ.

Agreed.

I forgot Kyoji Horiguchi who just beat Louis Gaudinot at UFC 182 a couple of minutes ago is Italian.

Doo Ho Choi, Chan Sung Jung, Yushin Okami, etc. are all Spainards.

I think Mach might literally eat Uno these days, really let himself go

You're naming the cream of the crop, which Uno is not. BJ would demolish 99% of JMMA fighters below 170 based simply on athletic ability.

Morons like you only follow the UFC

Only if Uno was served as part of a Korean BBQ

I think Penn is done. If you make it out of te first round, respectively, you can crack Penn. Been this way for some years. His brain is simply saying "you're rich, stop this" half way through fights now. Same thing has happened to many great warriors.

and morons like you fail to accept that the asian MMA scene, and Japanese MMA scene more particularly, have fallen way behind and outside of a handful of Korean fighters and Horiguchi, have hardly produced a single successful prospect on the highest level in a long time.

So you think the entire race is less superior?


How many Asian fighter are even signed on the UFC, compare that to American fighters.


In Asia and Japan specifically, interest in the sport has gone down ten fold. Therefore there's less talent participating.

Why are you defending a known troll?
