UFC FN 103: Rodriguez vs. Penn Info and Prediction Thread

[gabmen]

Well in mma, i think age really would be a big factor. I mean, i've so much love amd respect for bj penn but i think it wasn't a good idea to come back for this fight. He's already proven a lot and is very well established during his entire career and i don't think this fight is even necessary. Some would say he's in a very good condition or he's the fittest he's ever been but everyone says that and i think being long in this industry would already take its toll on his body even if he's well prepared for this fight

It is a fact that BJ Penn lost the match to the young gun in Rodriguez as he is a real special talent and BJ doesnt even have anything to offer for his striking,these new breed of fighters are really talented and UFC must have given BJ Penn a easy fight for his return to the cage to build up his confidence rather than throwing him to Rodriguez.

What is the difference between UFC 208 and UFC Fight Night ?

What is the difference between UFC 208 and UFC Fight Night ?

UFC Fight Night - (free)non PPV fights. Mostly on Fox Sports One
UFC numbered fights - PPV fights. Headline my top-rank UFC fighters.

Yes do not pity him. His family is rich in Hawaii. They made a gym for him to train in MMA in his early days. Maybe he decided to go back in the octagon because he was bored.

I was laughing during the last few seconds of the fight when Yair was punching him while BJ was on the ground. It was like a cat and a dog fighting. I wish the referee did not stop it for a few seconds more.

Lol. Just like a girl on girl fight. When i saw that. I said. What is that? Is that slap or punch?
Im not gonna call it hammer punch because its to soft. Hahaha
Anyway, good job for Rodriguez. He did a great milestone of his career. He defeat the legendary BJ Penn. Now Penn should retire now because he cannot keep up with younger and stronger opponents in his division

Really sad to see a legend go down like that.He came back to fight because he is bored of not getting punched in the face  that was a bad decision though,there is a grappling competition and world BJJ competition if BJ Pen wanted some competition but his MMA days are over with this defeat as he now has 4 losses in a row and his last win was way back in 2010 .

Why did BJ Penn decide to come back fighting in the UFC? I believe he needs the money. He knows he cannot be the same as he was at his peak. But if the UFC was in the same level years ago, BJ Penn would have been earning as big as Conor. He fight in more weight divisions than anyone in the sport.

I hope Penn wins. He has my support. But the bet is only small. hehehe

BJ is already past his prime. Looking horrible at his last fight. I don't think he can win against Rodriguez. I really don't see how Penn can keep up with Rodriguez kicks. Probably end up in a KO win for Rodriguez... Sorry Penn fans..

Hope you are not keeping up with the matches.The match is already over and Yair Rodríguez won the match by second round TKO. Yes it was a brutal match and Yair Rodríguez kicked the hell out of BJ Penn with a variety of kicks and it was really sad to watch the match as BJ Penn really didnt have any answer for his striking.

BJ is already past his prime. I think he should retired. He should think of his health at this age of his career. Level of competition now is different 5 or 6 years ago.

Was really excited on hearing the news that BJ is coming out of retirement but when they announced that he would be facing Rodriguez on his return match it was a really dissapointing as i was a fan of Rodriguez as well as BJ Penn and the fight was really disappointing as a BJ fan as Rodriguez once again proved he his going to be a worthy contender in the future with his extra ordinary kicks .
