What is it... iron sharpens iron? Rory MacDonald is turning into a monster up in Montreal, even if he's not there yet. His biggest weakness would appear to be his striking, and maybe Penn can bust him up a little bit standing. But MacDonald has so many other tools and physical advantages that put this fight in his favor and are why the betting odds are where they are. By round 2 I see MacDonald throwing BJ Penn around and having no cardio issues as Penn loses steam.

What Greg said, as much as I love BJ and detest that hipster Rory I see him being too big and strong for BJ.

Rory's no hipster, he's just confused.  His last 4 walkout songs in order were by Nas, DMX, MC Hammer, and Tupac/Biggie.  A true hipster couldn't resist the urge to walk out to something a little more obscure, but he does earn "irony points" for walking out to MC Hammer.

Forget the fighting styles/ability/outcome...as a MMA fan if you're not rooting for BJ, then you must be confused like Rory is.

I went to sleep and I had a mini-epiphany.

Long story short, I think BJ has a serious chance at beating Rory. I don't wanna say it but I think BJ might pull it off...

I might be confused, I'm picking Rory, and rooting for BJ. However, I'm not delusional, Rory is gonna stomp BJ.

Damn. BJ winning wasn't TOO important to me. What's important to me is that BJ doesn't retire. WAR BJ. 

Also, a little premature... War condit? WAR CONDIT!!!

BJ's pride is his worst enemy. Nate Diaz was man-handled by Rory, dropped to 155 pounds, and now he's challenging for the title. BJ should not have stayed at 170 pounds. The worst part is, i think it likely that he would be doing very, very well at lightweight right now if he had taken that path.

Prediction: correct MacDonald   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

This fight went according to form, as most of us expected.  Even though he ran out of gas in the second round, along with a short, hard elbow from Rory, BJ didn't quit.  He survived when I thought the ref was going to stop it.  

Rory was taking target practice.  If BJ wasn't so exhausted, he might have tried to get the fight to the ground, to escape Rory's thunder.  One of BJ's poor, bad fights.  

But at least he didn't retire!  Hope he doesn't make that announcement.  Hope he announces he will drop to LW.  He looked tiny standing next to Rory.  Really tiny.  He did have a pretty good first round.  He was aggressive and going after Rory.  But his cardio betrayed him, as it usually does, and he needs to go where the opponents don't grow so big.
