I know, I know, BJ won't win this, but I can't pick against him ... he can be fighting Cain Velasquez and I'd still pick BJ. Stupid, but a reality :)

It will be interesting on how BJ will drop the weight hopefully it will be a good cut

@hdmexiqtioner, I actually don't think the weight will be a problem, he's been looking lean for a long time now, I think his biggest problem will the exact same problem he had in their prior fights - Frankie's speed and footwork, BJ won't have an answer to that, imo (though I maintain BJ won the first fight - and you know I'm a non-partial party ;) ).

I give BJ Penn credit for getting me into this sport. Chances are, he won't win.. but I can dream. He's been looking very lean in all the photos I've seen of him for the past few months. I'm actually very excited.

lol! So to sum Tap picking so far, 64% think Frankie will win, 3% think BJ will win and 33% think Frankie will win but can't pick against BJ. 

And you ask me why I love this site so much :))))

I just hope he is not really drained and has the same type of physicallity of old. He is cutting 25 lbs, and he is not really a big guy.

 

I think it will turn out good, he always looked natural at 155 lbs. Hopefully the cut will be like how Machida did from 205 to 185.

Prediction: correct Edgar   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 4  

This fight was just an awful decision for everyone except Penn and his fan base. Dont get me wrong, Ive got nothing against BJ. Hes one of the best of all time, but he already lost to Frankie twice. If he wants to make a run at 145, then ******* sweet, but pick someone else to put him against like Guida. Hell, bring Faber back to 145 and make that **** happen. Lol.

Prediction: correct Edgar   correct KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

I heard the TUF 19 Finale will be on July 6th, the day after UFC 175, both in Vegas at the Mandalay Bay. Plus a UFC Fan Expo. Hoping I can swing it financially to fly out and attend both.

The Edgar-Penn fight should be fun, but it seems BJ's days as a serious contender are over.

I pegged the Edgar-Penn III fight as the co-main at UFC 175. I hope having two events in the same weekend doesn't mean we get two watered-down fight cards.

Here's to picking BJ Penn on nothing but blind faith. Picking Penn and having him lose far outweighs picking Edgar and having Penn win.
