I really don't understand what happened to Penn's fighting style. He no longer uses all his talents he just uses his boxing and his BJJ is non-exitent it makes no sense. BJ himself said Diaz had the best boxing in MMA then he stands there for 3 rounds and exchanges with him? Is it laziness that makes him so one dimensonal? Is it vanity? Is it stupidity? It's a damn shame such a great talent is being wasted on I'll just out box him approach. Check out this fight with the BJ of old using all his strengths dominating Gomi with some gruesome ground and pound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHb3vOEzGb8 now try to remember BJ's last 4 fights or so he is a mere shell of what he could be..Guilt Trip said:

Chael walks off OTR.
Landsberg asking those BJJ questions was priceless.

Wow what timing I just posted the clip about 45 seconds after your post. Chael did not at all like those BJJ questions.donkeyy0 said:

As a "fighter" how does he waffle about a question like "if you fought GSP, would you win?"
Seemed to be contradicting himself through the entire thing. Landsberg pretty consistently comes across as a bit of a jerk with stuff like "he could do a few situps". The guy is a pro athlete...I doubt he loses sleep over Landsberg taking shots at him.

I think the situps comment was in reference to Mike Tyson when he was acting strange during an interview and started to do situps.donkeyy0 said:

Hell of a fight between Shogun and Hendo, so entertaining. It's probably wrong, but even after watching this, I'm left with the sense that Jon Jones would destroy both of them.

I can't understand all the buzz about how this fight should've been ruled a draw. The 5th round was dominant for Shogun but not anymore than the 3rd was for Hendo so if the 5th was a 10-8 for Shogun then the 3rd was a 10-8 for Hendo.Fanatic said:

I had one 10-8 round for Hendo, 3 10-9 rounds for Hendo and then a 10-8 for Shogun in the 5th round. That still means a 48-45 win in my books. The judges had 48-47, 48-47, and 48-46.
I don't see how anyone can call that a draw. Henderson did not have a mark on him until the 5th round. For 4 rounds he walked all over him. Then he ran out of gas and hung on for dear life - but it was still a dominant win.
