BJ Penn Gives James Toney Some Love

BJ PENN: "What's worse than having the WWF champ as our heavyweight champ? That ain't worse than having James Toney come on and win a fight."

ARIEL HELWANI: "So it's all not that bad for the sport, right? He's bringing a little hype. Can't be worse, right?"

BJ PENN: "It's great for the sport. James Toney is God's gift to MMA right now. He's promoting the sport. He's telling everybody to go out and buy tickets. You can't ask for a better person. What James Toney is doing is putting more money into everybody's pockets."

really?? is that where he fought the machida guy?

yep, nothing wrong with confusing that thoguht they were both in rings

ya gott respect a natural 155er who will fight guys 190+ at their own weight

His head weighs like 25 lbs. So i call it an even fight.

yeah i liked watching it back in the days. it was kinda like bloodsport when they did those tournaments lol i just can't get into it anymore with all the wwe guys and last i heard even a power ranger was getting into the sport lol i remember those shamrock-severn fights those were great

well he was 155 pounder naturally but he would balloon up to 170 to 190 and fight natural 205ers gotta respect that

No doubt. Is he winning on Saturday?

ya rum the tournaments really were just plain and simple BAD ASS

Severn - Shamrock 1 was a great fight the 2nd had so much political bullshit behind it that it hampered the fight, it was in Severns hometown, legislatures got the rules changed that Shootfighting (Kens Discipline) was outlawed no shoots would be allowed (going for a takedown) and closed punches would be outlawed, also the local police basically came in and threatened Ken with arresting him if he punched Severn so it made for a stinker but the first one was a frieking classic

you know slick thats a great question

i obviously picked him to beat Edgar first time around but was one of the few guys that had Edgar as a really live dog
he seemed slow and let Edgar dictate the 1st pace, a focused BJ should win this but he couldnt take Edgar down

we will see if BJ is finally just sliding or if the first fight he wasnt well trained

if my life is on the line I pick BJ but again think this will be a close one

see most guys are so scared to stand with BJ they spend the whole fight trying to take him down with no success, Frankie just stood with him and either way lost 2-3 or won 302 (its a controversial fight but people screaming robbery havent watched Funeka - Guzman 1 obviously (wink))

any pictures on this edgar guy? my friend told me i llok like him and i didnt know whether to tell him to fuck off or not.

he seems like a ncie guy one of the MMA posters saw him at a gym and Edgar took pictures with his kids the poster posted the pictures on the forum

Who's that in your GIF? PLEASE tell me its you cuz i will have a field day.

the dumb thing was Gray Maynard (who is fighting KenFlo on the undercard for #1 contendor at LW) beat Nate Diaz for the oppurtunity to fight BJ Penn

Maynard and his team pulled a Povetkin and didnt want the title fight

enter Frankie Edgar who was 10-1 with the 1 loss coming to Maynard enters to fight BJ and BEATS BJ

Maynard has to be kicking himself still

since you brought it up earlier Rum here it is Shamrock vs Severn 1 SuperFight Title (Later UFC Heavyweight Title) 3 minutes, look how good a prime Kens sprawl was

1:30 mark is classic

gotta realize this was a 260 + pound Olympic wrestler with the most collegiate pins all time vs a 230 pound high school wrestler, when Ken holds his ground in the clinch then knees out Dan stands and looks at him like "shit"

shamrock was here in springfield mass not too long ago. my brother in law is a bouncer at a strip joint and met him. he called me and told me to go to his "job" to meet him ken lmao my brother in law the guys kind of a dick lol

yai believe that, i met him a bunch asa kid and he was always nice but im sure he has changed i am still his biggest fan ever I believe hahah

notice Severn nut shotted him before tapping

wish he had held onto his money cause when he initially retired in under 4 years of MMA/NHB fighting his record was 23-5-2 and was widely considered the best MMA fighter in the world

hahaha great quote by Penn
