It was very impressive, at one point BJ was the p4p best fighter on Earth, fought Machida when he was outweighed by 35lbs and made the fight quite competitive, all I was saying is as far as both of their careers go, I feel Anderson was more dominant overall and is the best there ever has been. Trust me I have much love for BJ, he is who got me back into MMA after the deadball era of UFC 15-30 and is one of my all time favorites, I was quite upset when he lost to Diaz.

bj penn took risks , he was in that funny looking cage not to " improve his legacy " or to " prove he was the best in the world " but to fight and test himself and compete with the best in the world , no matter what weight size or how badly the odds were against him, he was there because he thought he could do it, and boy did it make for some great fights ...
he beat mat hughes at 170 and claimed the belt his , beat duane ludwig and renzo gracie, f*cking competed with lyoto fuc*ing machida , competed with the greatest ww in the history of the sport for two fights won the ufc title lightweight title against all odds and still went for superfights just because he wants to fight the best there is , he fell short sometimes but at least he tested himself and tried . you say he wasn't in shape ? i say how the fu*k did he go five rounds with the ufc lightweight champion at the time frankie edgar twice ! how the fu*k did he go to decision with nick diaz and rory mcdonald and not get finished ?!
B.J penn stayed relevant in the ufc for more than 13 years , sorry if the idea of him not competing at the highest level wasn't in his head and it took 3 terrible fights , 9 dreadful rounds to tell him that , but he still tried . let's just not forget who those three guys were . nick diaz : fighting Anderson silva in jan 31 , rory MaCdonald : fighting for the title in 2015 and frankie edgar : former ufc lightweight champion and current ufc featherweight top 5 fighter . now if you think that anderson silva defending the title 13 times is better than that .... then i agree with you , sorry for wasting your time :thumb02:

How soon after he gets beat will Diaz retire (again)? In the Octagon straight after the fight? Or when the UFC refuse to give him another superfight he doesn't deserve?

Jones DC was definatly top of the food chsin in terms of level of guys with most on the line. I was excited for that one.

But from a pure anticipation/excitement stand point, I think Im more excited for this fight.

Should be legendary. Last legendary fight they made was Penn-Diaz. We didnt realize it but gus bones eneded legendary. Would have been vwey legendary had Gus been getting a rematch.

I meant recently. He's lost one fight in 9 years and he's done? MMA fans can be so fickle.

agreed, first fight he deserved to lose.. nobody can clown like that vs an opponent that is a legit threat, let alone one that is probably better than you..

second fight was not a freak accident but still very rare when it comes to even perfectly checking leg kicks... i still want to see a third fight before andy gets too old.. but that is only if andy comes out and destroys nick diaz.. if he looks like the phenom he always did and puts nick away in spectacular fashion and looks to have regained his confidence then i want to see a third fight..

if it is a tough fight then give him another winnable fight and see how his recovery goes.. i only want to see him vs. weidman if he seems to have his fire back..

If Anderson wasn't by his own admission close to retirement I'd be all for it.
But the guy has already said he wants to retire soon. Dana just wants to cash in on a trilogy.
