Ur right about that for sure. I was hoping he might see this as a chance to knock off the next big thing at WW, but more likely if he fights again it will be against a more established name.

At this point in BJ career and life for that matter he does not want to step in the cage with Rory.

He had the tools and confidence to beat BJ at that particular time if he hadn't tried to cage hump him GSP style like an idiot



-P-



And exactly what tools were these?


Kenny had a more diverse striking game...but Penn had more power, hand speed and chin.

Kenny wasn't the better wrestler...didn't have better jujitsu....wasn't the better athlete and wasn't that much bigger than B.J., if even.


Kenny had better cardio....but I'm not even sure I'd give Kenny that advantage either b/c B.J. was getting the Marinovich treatment, at that time.


Kenny was never supposed to beat Penn, Aldo and probably never Maynard. Kenny, a couple years later, would've beaten Sherk, imo.

Florian wasn't a choker...he just lost to better fighters...dude is a hall of famer.

Yeah Ive never been a big BJ fan, which is why I want him to take this fight. Rory is a beast and only getting better, so smashing BJ in Toronto would be a good way for the UFC to get his name out there more to casual fans imo

I've already explained why I think at that time Kenny "could" have beaten BJ.

You don't always have to be the "better" fighter to be better "that" night.

Kenny should be a hall of famer, no arguments there and he seems to be improving as a commentator each time out.

Brett Rogers is now a part of Bellator....will be fighting some jobroni later this month in West Virginia.



I could see him winning the tourny...but he'll just get raped by the polar bear.

Didn't Bret say he trained out in Minnesota with Brock back in the day(I think he claimed that he knocked him out in practice :beli: )? Maybe he trained w/ Konrad back in the day and knows a chink in his armor.



Maybe not.
