Since that guy is from WSOF, I took it as "BJ will never want to fight again....until we offer him a large contract"

My BJ routine:

- UFC announces BJ fight: **** YEAH!! WAR BJ!! (even though I know he's going to lose)
- Pick BJ to win on Tapology
- BJ says he's more motivated than ever and is in the best shape of his life (may even release "ripped" photo)
- Actually starting to believe he can pull it off I change my Tapology pick to a 2nd round finish
- Get chills just before BJ fight (even though I suddenly remember that there's no way he's winning this, but hey, you never know, anything can happen in MMA, but why the **** did I pick him on Tapology?!?!)
- BJ looks good in the first but doesn't get the finish so I know what's coming next
- BJ gets battered for 2-4 more rounds
- BJ retires
- I wish he really did retire this time
- A week later - I want another BJ fight - **** YEAH!! WAR BJ!!

The viciously schizophrenic-masochistic cycle of a BJ Penn fan's life :)

Aldo must not be worried about having to fight Penn in the future. Penn will be training with Jose Aldo to prepare for Edgar. More importantly, he won't be in Hawaii, he's gonna be going down to Rio de Janeiro and training with the guys at Novia Uniao under Andre Pederneiras. That makes this fight a little more interesting if Penn isn't going to be in Hawaii where he can be lazy all the time. Different coaches, different environment, could be just what Penn needs.

@zarog: I agree, but I just never know what to think when it comes to Penn.

IMO, Penn needs to 

1) Go to Sacramento, train with the Alpha Male guys. Those guys run hard. Hard but smart.
2) Get a legit strength & conditioning coach
3) Hire Mike Dolce
4) Bring Clay Guida in to simulate Edgar

if he wants to win this fight.

Aldo isn't a bad choice to train with. But I think there's better options for this matchup.

@skell Like I said, COULD be just what he needs. It also could be that this is going to be BJ's last fight for sure when Edgar clowns him, though Edgar's recent claim that he intends to finish Penn is kinda funny. I really can't see Edgar finishing BJ unless BJ quits out of frustration/exhaustion (TO THE DEATH GEORGES, TO THE DEATH).

BJ going back to the man who gave him his black belt, this is pretty cool.

Maybe Aldo can teach him how to go two rounds without tiring instead of one
