    Damn, I really feel bad for BJ. Props to Frankie though.

    You could be right. I think Penn still felt that his striking was superior, even though they were pretty equally matched in the first fight.
    Once he got battered in round 3, it's like he finally realized he was getting outclassed on his feet and he tried something different.

    yea he fought better in the 1st 2 rounds than he did in the first fight. He actually avoided a lot of the punches edgar was throwing and he landed some good shots on edgar.

    when he did go for the takedown edgar showed his ground game. I was very impress with his ground game. He had good defense and avoided letting penn get to a dominant position.

    Good win for Edgar. Too bad he's going to lose to Gray Maynard.:-(

    we'll see, maynard style might be bad for edgar. Maynard bullied his way to a title shot by beating florian. I'm interested in watching this fight. I wonder if maynard can take edgar down and get into a dominant position. Bj couldn't do it vs edgar.
