Rory clowned it wasn't even a struggle. Penn needs to hang it up. Hype or die.

Honestly though rorys striking was highly improved and he looked insanely impressive. He hurt Penn more times than anyone ever has.

Probably because he's the biggest opponent he's ever fought not named Machida.


This was just an exhibition of a good middleweight beating up an undersized washed up lightweight coming out of retirement.

This is about as impressive as Roy Jones beating up Vinny Paz. Except less because in that fight Paz went an entire round without landing a punch.

Are you daft? What were you expecting? This fight was nothing but a spectacle and the real "fight" was Rory beating the drug test.

If BJ was really motivated he would be at 155 and under Mandarich, this dudes just going out there to collect paydays.

I don't think anyone with half a mind expected him to be competitive with a guy who had 5 inches and 30lbs on him.

I'm really starting to dislike Rory, but like Jones, Sonnen, the Diaz brothers, and Tito before them, Rory is starting to become a masterful heel (although Jones for some reason still thinks he's a "good guy"). The crowd absolutely hated him tonight, and who doesn't hate hipsters? Especially arrogant ones.

At least Rory doesn't hide it like Jones does when he speaks. Saying he's humble and all that non-sense. When Jones talk it just seems all to fake to me. At least Rory isn't faking anything. He said what he said to BJ pre-fight and he showed it in the Octagon tonight.
