Interesting that all 3 guys on Sherdog gave the fight to Penn and the guy on Junkie gave it to Edgar 48-47.

"b.j. penn couldn`t possibly lose to edgar"....the power of being a deity..they deluded themselves...

..penn lost that fight...and looked absolutely resigned to that fact....beat up...exhausted.....defeated...

Here are my thoughts:

BJ Penn-Frankie Edgar was a close fight.
I had a huge bet on Penn-Joe Warren-Phil Davis
and another one on Penn-Hughes-Davis
I thought BJ took rounds 1 and 2.
I thought Edgar took 3 and 5.
4 was really close but I edged it to Penn.
Going to the cards, I thought Edgar would get it.
The decision was fair, but all 5 rounds to Edgar is way off.
The right guy won the fight - people like me who saw "no plausible path to victory" for Frankie were, clearly, dead wrong.

He mixed up his striking beautifully. His cardio was phenomenal and he fought a very smart fight. The takedown he got in rnd 5 astonished me. I would have bet a lot of money Frankie couldn't get BJ down.

I do think though, that a rematch would go quite differently. BJ was clearly gassed after a few rounds and something may have been up with his knee.

This was a painful loss for me, but I think the score of 3 to 2 either way is fair. It's hard for me to see all 5 rounds for Edgar. That's a bit nuts.

from Oddessa's twitter:

Anderson Silva serves up another snoozefest as Dana White tosses the belt to the floor and storms out.
That is a new level of pissed for Dana According to @KevinI and @CameoMo, Dana threw down the title

danawhite said Anderson Silva might be first champion in history to fight on prelim card. He is PISSED

i didn't see him in the ring to wrap the title around Silva. this is when Dana is at his best. No way would u hear anything like this in boxing. If its boxing it would just be another day.

karma`s a bitch....it`s beyond bizarre that silva wouldn`t press for the stoppage late....

i think you`ll see some changes in the ufc template because of this performance...maybe like rogan said,some sort of "pride-like" system that hits a fighter in his wallet...

one of the times when i`m glad dana`s there....someone else might try and make excuses....thankfully,dana calls em like he sees em...

Yeah you missed the fights.
Pay your money to Dana for the tape delay PPV in which he even walked out on. :142smilie

And don't think for a second that Dana is going to put Silva on an prelim card.
NEVER and I mean never happen.

One thing I'm really curious about is why BJ never tried to do anything but box with Edgar
He never even attempted to take it to the ground, a place I am confident he would have had some success
:shrug:

i think he might have if he was in shape but i saw him slipping at the end of round two. zjust so hard to bet a fight with him in it. Ya never know who is gonna show up. I just knew Frankie would give a better fight than sanchez or Florian. For some reason I didnt have the balls to go with him .

I agree
I had BJ up two rounds, but was VERY concerned going into rnd 3
BJ looked exhausted and had little mobility

Aggravating part about this is I could have just used Silva at same price

@danawhite You are making your organization more like entertainment everyday...it's coming back now and will eventually sink your ship

@danawhite The only reason I created this account today is to say, "Thank GOD I don't pay for your events!"

Great line to Dana:" I'll still stream your event tonight so people can watch it on the internet."

Now that is some funny shit. :mj07: :142smilie

I think it was canceled as Dana was in the air back to the States before Silva even made it back to the locker room.
He left orders as to how to handle Silva. I heard he told Silva that he should have bought a one way ticket because he will not be returning.
