Super weird booking. 

If BJ can get this to the mat I guess he could pull the upset, but as much as I love him, that's probably unlikely. 

I guess BJ is going to have to eat a flying roundhouse kick to the face to finally realize he doesn't have it anymore.

So much for BJ revitalizing his career at Jackson-Wink.

This fight makes me sad. At least Penn isn't fighting a top ten featherweight. Still, Rodriguez will probably be too fast and athletic for him

I can't be the only person here who doesn't like BJ Penn. This is a huge mismatch, though. Penn would be better off fighting Cole Miller or someone like that.

I feel like BJ supporters almost use his horrible career decisions as a reason to rally around him.

Ehhh, not for me, I just want an old favorite of mine to actually take his career seriously and take a few tune up fights to see if he's ready for fights like this.

Not a strange booking at all.  Penn wants money, and the UFC wants to use him as a stepping stone for Rodriguez.  They, like I, have very high expectations for him. Most people don't know who Rodriguez is, but dragon punching BJ Penn into the bleachers will help.

I think it's a great matchup. Much better than his prior two. 

Siver was a lose-lose situation - as in if he wins, meh, it's Siver, who cares, if he loses, that's how the legend ends? A loss to Siver?

Lamas was a gonna get embarrassed situation

Rodriguez is a win-win situation - If he wins, **** me, he just beat an exciting young buck on his way up and can retire happy or solidify himself back in the top 10 of a division. If he loses, he just lost to an exciting young buck on his way up and it'll most likely be a lovely fight to watch.

When I read the thread title I immediately thought,

"Damn, I think Yair could actually embarrass BJ."


"Nah, it's gotta be another Rodriguez. Probably just some can now at this point."




Now I see.  I think Penn will get ate up and lose a decision. Or he could have an extremely slow start and get caught by a 360 no scope.

This seems really dumb to me. BJ is probably going to get murdered, and I have no clue why they're booking him in a main event slot again after he's been pulled from 3 different cards this year.

I think BJ is probably going to lose but I'm not sure of it, Either way I'll never EVER pick against Baby J. The guys he lost to that are not named Frankie Edgar recently were big Welterweights, So be interesting to see if he has motivation at FW what he can do even if he's past his prime, Lets get it.

Prediction: correct Rodriguez   wrong Decision  

This is an opportunity for both fighters, no matter the winner is good for UFC.

BJ Pen comes off a losing streak but against big names and the best of the division, while Yair comes up inside the division as a strong rookie. They are meeting in the middle of the division, it is necessary to see at this point if BJ Pen is only not to be Top Ten or if it is time to retire, and they will also test Yair to see if he can destroy his first legend.

Personally I think Yair has a lot of potential and this will be his first test against a great, although not in his best moment BJ Pen is not any newbie.

El Pantera will feel BJ out in round one since its five rounds then finish in round two if not late round one.
