Great card
Part of the reason BJ can do that is his crazy flexibility and balance. Notice how deep of a squat he ends up in when he lands...
When this dude lands his knees are at 90*...he's also much taller than BJ. (this was shown on ESPN the other night)

This will be the new youtube craze...I have a feeling BJ did it and posted it as a bit...
George Sotiropoulos!!!!!!!!!!

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Thats the XBOX kid from TUF...lol
I had to look up to see who the that was.
Damn that's a solid card. Good to see Sotiropolis in there.
God I wish Forrest would pound the out of that skinny brazilian. PLEASE!!!
1800+ comments on the BJ Penn pool think on the yahoo link...
BJ has really hurt his image in the last few years (despite being the LW champ). The whole greasing fiasco...man, if he'd has just stayed at LW he'd probably be thought of differently. Although, he did beat Hughes when he was at the peak of his career....that's about it for his WW accomplishments. I can't believe he still talks about fighting GSP again...stupid.
Unlikely...Silva hits too hard for Forrest...
Doh...the vids got yanked.
Rampage Jackson?
Dude Rampage had Forrest rocked in the first round. Anderson hits harder than almost everyone at LHW.
Im a bigg time BJ Penn supporter, but something has gone seriously wrong with his training regimen. i mean youtube pool jumps give me a break who gives a fukk. BJ reminds me of a get rich quick scheme kind of guy instead of learning the fundamentals. If BJ had some boxing skills instead of relying heavily on jiu jitsu, hed be more of a complete fighter. and get rid of that stupid rubber guard!!lol!!
Kenny Florian is too skilled and will knock BJ out.
mahalo...lol

I'm looking forward to this card more than I was 100. Both Mir/Lesnar and GSP/Alves were foregone conclusions (IMHO). This batch, on the other hand... Penn/Florian is a tough pick and I couldn't even begin with Griffin/Silva. It'll be nice to see Amir finally make an official debut and Batman/Neer out to be pretty exciting. Hopefully we'll see a few undercards - I think George S. has decent potential and it'll be interesting to see how he's evolved. Sakara/Leites shouldn't be bad either.

??????, except for Rampage. If we're just talking about punching power then there is NO way you could think that. And that was my point, to say that Forrest isn't gonna be ready for a strong fist is just wrong. And BTW, though Rampage landed quite a few he never "rocked" Forrest.
Silva hits just as hard as Rampage IMO...he has very deceptive power.
Didn't look like much, but it split Irvin's face open and put him down (Irvin historically can take a good punch)
and he'll land more often than Rampage. He didn't land too much on Forrest, whose chin is average IMO.
those dudes all look so y
I would say Silva hits with a little less power than Rampage but Silva is more accurate and faster.
Watch the first round again. Forrest was rocked. Silva lands a way better percentage of his punches too..
Against Middleweights he is 10 times better than. If he beats down Forrest like Irvin, i will be friggin shocked. Forrest is a legit great 205er..
Irvin probably has a better chin than Forrest... I love Griffin to death, but this just isnt a good match-up for him.
Main Card Bouts:
-B.J. Penn (13-5-1; #3 Lightweight)* vs. Kenny Florian (12-3)
Biggest fight of Kenny's life but BJ will be ready to make a statement following the GSP loss. He is a different machine at 155. Faster, better striking and his best cardio is at this weight. If it goes 5, i like Kenny for the decision, otherwise i got BJ by stoppage, say 3rd RD..
-Anderson Silva (24-4 vs. Forrest Griffin (18-5)
Nobody gives Forrest the credit he has earned and believes in him like they should. I feel he can win this fight. He is the bigger man, has beaten great 205ers in the past. Silva is the more skilled fighter obviously but i think Forrest can get a decision here, with movement, determination and that
trademark heart he has...
-Amir Sadollah(5-0) vs. Johny Hendricks (5-0)
-Tamdan McCrory vs. John Howard
-Alessio Sakara (13-7) vs. Thales Leites

Well he threw a leg kick and got cracked right on the button with a counter, really anyone goes out with a shot like that. We'll see, i just don't see Forrest getting blown out of the water here..
