BJ was the man. Who licks blood off the glove? Only the man himself
Maybe he was...hungry...BJ was the man. Who licks blood off the glove? Only the man himself
BJ was a beast in his prime. If he fought with the same mentality as guys like DJ or GSP and never took risks with his career, he would have had one of the longest title runs ever at LW, but that wasn’t his style.
I did watch the fight.
Then they became boyzzz...
Cool story broOh sorry I was hoping you were a dumb ass troll. I could have forgiven a troll.
I'm a Penn fan, but I thought he lost. Close fight but Machida edged him.
He had been steadily climbing weight classs at the time too.
I believe he fought a Gracie at Middleweight just prior.
Renzo or Rodrigo.
Holy sh... Mc should pay u for all this work, mate...lmao1. Back then Hughes was a large WW. Now he would probably be a LW in today's climate. BJ didn't overcome any noticable size difference by today's standards. Its not like he was Conor outboxing a significantly larger Diaz brother
In fact, BJ Penn got his shit pushed in by the LESSER Diaz brother
2. Its a moot point that Highes was p4p#1. Conor already beat the p4p#1 in Aldo, before capturing a belt at a heavier weight class against a prime all time great LW in Alvarez.
Who did BJ beat to win the belt in his actual weight class? Oh that's right. TUF'er Joe Stevenson lol
So you can look at it as Conor's FW belt>>>>>>>>>>>>BJ's LW belt.
Mind you Conor also beat Mendes to win the interium belt, and that's another fucking GOAT win right there for Conor too
Here's another thought to consider.
I guarantee you that Alvarez beats BJ/Hughes, or at the least, that they are great toss up fights.
Listen, BJ and Hughes were great for their time. They don't stack up well today however.
I feel Alvarez including most of the top LWs would beat BJ/Hughes. Conor himself would wreck BJ and Hughes
People are downplaying just how huge Conor's win over Alvarez was and how Conor is the only one in MMA history to have ever made Alvarez look that bad
Conor's 2 belt accomplishment is by far the most significant in MMA history
Btw, BJ was NOT the #1 LW when he beat Hughes
Meanwhile Conor was actually the #1 FW when he moved up and beat Alvarez
Just more reasons as to why Conor's 2 belt accomplishment is the greatest in MMA
