Prediction: wrong Penn   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

I love Penn and I'm still going to pick him to win, but this is a terrible matchup for him.  I wish him the best but expect the worst.

BJ is going to come back more motivated than ever, this is going to be like Penn vs Sherk. 
I hope so at least, keeping my fingers crossed.
Really wish he would go back to 155.

Prediction: correct MacDonald   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

BJ's career from now on will completely depend on his motivational level in his training.  If he can catch fire and get inspired, it's conceivable that he could regain past glory.

If not, he can look forward to more painful lessons, as he did with Frankie Edgar and Nick Diaz.  It's all up to him.

Based on his past behavior, I was shocked he took this fight, and expect him to receive a worse beat-down than he did from Diaz.  Rory will so humiliate him he will retire.  I hope he doesn't.  I'd love to see him return to LW.

MacDonald can't do to BJ Penn what Jon Fitch hasn't already done.

MacDonald via decision, no finishes here.

I am still baffled why Macdonald called a cut above his eye. So what you needed stitches, just means you gotta stop sparring for a few weeks doesn't mean your strength training and cardio has to disappear. That being said I still think he's gonna beat BJ by KO.

Wow it actually amazes me people think Penn will win. Have you seen the size of Rory, the guy will boss around Penn like its a walk in the park. This fight is a joke.

@josh, I think most are picking him simply because they are big fans, and for whatever reason people hate on Rory. I agree that Rory takes this pretty easy.

I'm picking Penn cause I'm hoping BJ returns with a huge desire to win again ... and I'm a fan.

I was def going to pick Rory.. before I saw that pick of Penn at 180 (was it 180?) and he looked fantastic... Penn looked like a legit WW for once.. no muffins. If he has the cardo (I know, I know), he has a shot. I'm still taking Rory as of now though.
