"Honestly, Frankie beating me, I'm not going to say it's the best thing that happened in my life, but it's a great thing that happened in my life," Penn told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) on Thursday. "If I would have won that day, I wouldn't have changed anything, and I would have fallen harder later."
"As soon as that experience was over, I didn't learn anything then," he said of the Edgar defeat. "Now, looking back to where I am today, it all makes sense to me now when I look back at my career. The fool looks at today and asks, 'What's going on?' And the wise man looks at yesterday and asks, 'What happened?' I realize how everything kind of played its way out."
"I won't get to fight for my whole life, so I better enjoy it while it's here."

So of victorious at UFC 118, Penn is open to all challenges. He won't handpick opponents, he won't limit himself to one weight class, and – as has become the normal for many UFC champs – he won't spend extended periods of time on the sidelines.

"When I get past Frankie Edgar, I want to fight everybody," he said. "I'll fight the No. 1 contender all the way to the No. 15 contender. If no one's ready and they need more time to prepare for me, Dana, give me a welterweight fight. I don't care.

"I just want to fight. I can't do this forever. I'm 31 years old. I think I'm in my prime. Let's do it now."

"When I get past Frankie Edgar, I want to fight everybody," he said. "I'll fight the No. 1 contender all the way to the No. 15 contender. If no one's ready and they need more time to prepare for me, Dana, give me a welterweight fight. I don't care."


Gotta love the attitude here.

in other words he's already looking past frankie edgar. Have to question what he really learned then.

Yup, at least he's confident going into this fight.

Judging by the last performance his prime is gone.

He almost made it sound like he couldn't pull the trigger on the countdown show.

Penn is going to destroy Edgar.

Penn will kill Edgar, but he needs a loss every four fights to reignite the fire.

I expect BJ to kick his ass, but I will probably be rooting for Edgar.

I can't root for somebody holding a title belt on false pretenses.

To me, BJ Penn is like Kurt Russell trying to get his wife back in that movie Breakdown, anybody remember that one? Only a sick fuck would root for the trucker who kidnapped her.

I am tempted to root for Frankie not only because he's a fellow short man but because of the weak excuses BJ spewed on the countdown.

BJs excuses are a joke

ohh shut the f up. Frankie won the fight fair and square and will do it again tomorrow night.

Weren't we just hearing about how other posters are immature out of you?

hey i said F. lol it's just annoying to hear people to continue to harp over the decision. It's done. Bj lost. Stop looking for excuses. If he's the champ than he will go out there and actually prove it, something he didn't do at all in the 1st fight.

and where did i say anyone was immature? It's possible but i really don't remember haha.

wow someone's got a grudge i guess. Nothing i've said has been directed at you in any way so im not really sure what your problem is.

I don't really have one, nor did I take it personally. I just thought it was strange that you say others were acting childish and then the best response you can come up with a few days down the road to a thread is " ohh shut the f up!"

LOL Ludo. Sometimes retraining myself with oggy when he's like this is an art unto itself.

come on man. Are we all taking the gloves off or something? If it means any difference i think Kings is a great poster. Probably should have chose better words.

I don't know if he kills edgar(though I am picking penn) but yeah, BJ has been rededicating himself to the sport at 2 year intervals. Pre Sherk, Post GSP now inter Edgar. I doubting wether he can ever put it all togethor on a consistent basis. Lord knows he's talented, he defineately loves to fight, but he doesn't really want to go to work, day in, day out.
