Agree 100% with p4Pgoat. If BJ has a hard time it will be because BJ didn't dig deep enough in training camp. All talented people must adjust to aging by adjusting their diets, training, life styles, etc. In fact, we civilians have to, too. Of suffer the ravages of time in terms of weight gain, loss of functionality, etc.

I disagree hugely on rory having "average" standup. I think that is a gross understatement. For starters he whoop on condit in the first round of there fight through his standup. Not ground skills. In fact he did better against Condit standing then he did no the ground. So I disagree with you strongly seeing as how Condit is one of the elite strikers of the division and Rory was giving him fits on the feet. If you think Penn just gunna beat on Rory in the stanup you got another thing coming my friend because you SHOULD not be surprised if Rory starts beating on Penn in the standup.

I disasgree with you that Rory won't trade with Penn. I dont think any area of Penn game worries Rory. He not going to just shoot on him right away. He will trade with Penn. Will he got right take downs when open? yes he will but honestly there really no reason to assume he wont trade with Penn for a bit he does it in most all of his fights.

So, why should Rory quake in his boots at the thought of exchanging with Penn. I predict he will get the better of BJ on their feet, and then Rory will take him down and get the better of BJ there too. But BJ should be safer on the ground than on his feet.

Umm Rory was clearly rocked by Condit in the third...........so saying Condit was unable to rock rory is quite wrong see as how the fight was stopped due to Strikes.
I agree with the point your trying to make but saying that Condit was unable to rock rory is just OMG wrong.

Hm, BJ's not in the top 5 apparently.
BJ Penn is gonna get destroyed by Rory MacDonald and it will be great to watch. BJ Penn is still one of the best fighters on the planet...at lightweight. As a welterweight, he's got a bad enough record to be cut.
@Franklin880088 "saying Condit was unable to rock rory is quite wrong see as how the fight was stopped due to Strikes" did you actually see the fight? One of the worst stoppages ever, Rory didn't look like he was rocked he just looked like his will broke.
BJ Penn's stand up at welterweight is NOTHING compared to Carlos Condit, and Rory held his own against Condit's amazing striking. Penn will get decimated and the ****storm afterwards will be GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIOUS to watch.

" did you actually see the fight? One of the worst stoppages ever, Rory didn't look like he was rocked he just looked like his will broke.:"
Yes several times in fact. No it wasent at all. He was done, and he has admitted as much. He has stated he lost and he got his **** kicked in. He also stated how embarrassed he was about getting his ass kicked. Again even when he brings up the fightt he states not that it was a bad stoppage for why he wants a rematch. He instead states he wants it because Condit embarrassed him. You can keep pretending it was a bad stoppage but all the parties involved disagree with you.
He clearlly looked rock. In the start of the third he was full of energy and even throw a flying knee. Then he got caught with I believe a left hook. Then all of sudden he shoot for take down and trying to get it to the ground because he got hurt with the shot. Then condit got on top landed some big punches and Elbows and Rory was clearly messed up. the reason he faded was because he was getting beat on.

Hell I think Penn could likely make a legit run at the light weight belt if he took it serous.

@franklin you are right up there with mike, first off rory has never said that condit embarrassed and/or got his **** pushed in you're just making **** up. That fight could have easily made it to the distance with rory keeping his consciousness and not being overly hurt. He only said he was cool with the stoppage because he's a good dude and didn't want to try and take anything away from condits win

Look at it at 2:57. Rory was defending himself, he wasn't getting smashed, in fact Condit wasn't even throwing punches when the ref stopped it and Rory had an underhook in too AND Condit was in his half guard and couldn't pass AND there was 9 seconds left.
Stopping GSP/Condit in round 3 would've been a more justifiable stoppage. Stopping Sanchez/Ellenberger in round 3 would've been more justifiable. Stopping McCall/Johnson in round 3 would've been more justifiable. Stopping Frankie Edgar/Gray Maynard 2 AND 3 in the first round would've been more justifiable. Stopping Hendo/Shogun in rounds 1, 3 and 5 would've been more justifiable. The list goes on and on.
I'm sorry but I just can't see how a sane, unbiased fan can look at this fight and say that it was a legitimate stoppage. I can't, I have to seriously question your intelligence. You can say anything you want but just look at the video, it says it ALL!

Also, if it goes to the ground I don't think Rory will be able to control a BJ Penn like he could control a MUCH lesser talented guy on the ground in Che Mills.
