joseph1 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 ^ He did? I'm going to google that in a few, but I'm wondering why. Seems to me that the game has evolved too much for Penn to still be "The Prodigy" but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment

joseph1 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Much obliged. Interesting... He wants to keep feuding with Caesar Gracie's camp. Quote Link to comment
Mehdi! Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think BJ should just stay retired. There are other ways to feud with Gracie, train another fighter to beat their prodigy or something. Quote Link to comment
MagicMass Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 BJ was one of the best. Now i don't know if he can be champion again. He can still fight but not at the level he wants. Maybe he should stay retired. Quote Link to comment

MagicMass Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Good win by both Sonnen and Evans. Hope they both do well in their respective championship matches. Quote Link to comment
joseph1 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 ^ Perhaps ironically though, I kinda hoped both would win but am rooting for their opponents in upcoming matches. @ CorpseGrinder This I have to ask (although the "@" is just because you were the only one to make predictions), is Demian Maia another case of the game evolving faster than his standup improvement can keep up? Granted both he and Wiedman looked out of gas in the third, but it was surprising that he couldn't impose his BJJ game at all. @ no one in particular againGood to see Do Bronx and Dunham back on track. Very unsual (and awkward?) sub by Oliveira, good move too dropping to '45 for now then maybe moving back up as he naturally gains mass. Great KO by Lavar Johnson. Even better KO by Cub Swanson.
