After BJ beats Diego who should be next?

I would love to see Cowboy or Ben Henderson step up.

Although Bendo and Cerrone are certainly talented, they are not nearly as talented as the higher echelon of LW fighters in the UFC. Penn would absolutely destroy either fighter.

To answer your question Maynard if he beats Diaz. If not I would like to see Tyson vs Edgar in a rematch. Winner getting a chance to fight BJ.

yep the division is dead after diego and they need some more talent. I almost want sanchez to win just to mix it back up again.

yeah maynard, griffin, and edgar are for sure next in line.

Do you guys think Jose Aldo or Urijah Faber could give BJ Penn a challenge?

Nope, not at all.

The 145 division is not even half as deep or talented than 155. If guys like Manny Gamburyan could drop down from lightweight and become instant top ten fighters at 145, I really have to question the gape of talent between both of these divisions.

If Guida stops Kenny I think he deserves it. Its all about the styles and I think Gudia can give BJ fits.

hasudinxx, have you seen BJ fight wrestlers? His takedown defense is too damn good. Guida, Maynard, and any other wrestlers stand no chance vs BJ unless GSP can move down to 155.

Anyway Maynard beats Diaz then he's next.

I would assume Edgar with another win or two is next.

After that there really isn't anyone left.

Tyson is one of my favorite fighters, but he's lost to Sherk & Edgar so he doesn't deserve a shot.

Guida has losses to Griffin & Sanchez plus he's going to lose to Kenny.

Sherk already had his shot and has lost to Edgar recently.

Stevenson already had his shot and has losses to Diego & Florian.

KenFlo already had his shot and has a loss to Sherk.

So the LW division is deep and there are tons of great match ups, but all are below BJ.

So either the UFC needs to go get Aoki, Alvarez, or someone like that, get some big time WW to move down, or BJ needs to move up to WW again. Now I don't think any non UFC fighters would beat BJ, but at least they'd be fresh faces.

Yea Eddie Alvarez or JZ would be nice.

I don't know, but in another year under the Greg Jackson camp and a few more fights, I can see Joe Daddy making another run at it, I can see Clay and his style giving BJ fits, Maynard, Edgar, Florian if he shows good over the next year under new management too. Kenflo made the biggest mistake of taking too much time off I think.

Maynard.

clay guida would give Bj Penn fits??? Umm i think not. Bj would murder him. Honestly i think Nate beats Maynard spoiling that so Frankie Edgar would be next in line i guess but Diego is the only guy in the division who i think would even have a chance against Bj.

How many more fights is Alvarez locked in at Bellator?

I still have Diego pulling an upset with a UD after he presses the action and pushes the pace faster than BJ has had to deal with before. I think it catches BJ off guard and Diego holds him off well enought o pull out an upset.

This reminds me of the Rua/ Machida fight in the fact that not many people gave Rua any kinda shot at winning it.

I think Sanchez comes in with the same gameplan that Rua did for that fight and this time the judges dont get it wrong!

Lets make it interesting and put a sig bet on it then. ????

No other challenger in the UFC really interests me. I want him to fight Cowboy! He would still own though.

Yeah I'm not interested at all in BJ vs Maynard, Edgar, Tyson, etc

Presses what? BJ stalked Diego for 5 rounds
