Sorry, but that's ******* stupid.

Will be cool to see B.J. at featherweight, but why fight Frankie again? Especially for his first fight at featherweight?

I'm glad B.J is fighting again, but this is just out of left field.  Hasn't Frankie Edgar had enough rematches?

i agree with OldNick  pretty neat that penn is gonna go to 145 . but im not too pumped that's it with edgar. if they were 1-1 then ok . but edgar has already beaten him twice .. would rather see him vs someone like cub swanson for his debut at 145 .

Lol. BJ's officially washed up and trying to relive his glory days. Such a stupid meaningless fight. I would be stoked to see BJ at 145, but the fact that the opponent is Edgar just makes it an absurdly pointless fight.

I guess this is a good way to make sure Penn is motivated for once . if he loses enough fat to make 145 id say hes pretty serious.  And as far as the match up . I think Penn won the first fight so im pumped for #3 and Penn should be a entertaining coach.

The original plan was Frankie vs. Faber as TUF coaches and then fight at bantamweight, but Frankie said he didn't want to move down to bantamweight.

BJ then texted Dana he wanted to fight Bendo and Dana offered him the chance to coach TUF with Frankie and BJ accepted.

BJ told Dana, Frankie is a pebble in his shoe and he must defeat him before he retires.

hard to picture Penn at 145, better call Dolce.

It kinda makes no sense but I'm excited for this fight!

@curtwag84 Add 7 weight classes to Tokoro since he's fighting Will Campunzano at flyweight at VTJ 3rd.
