Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Quote of the Day 2: Kenny Florian

"BJ's intensity seemed forced, and he seemed a little small." "I am ready to go five five-minute rounds, and we will see tomorrow night if he is ready too."

"I sacrificed a lot more than B.J.." "BJ may have done a lot to get ready for this fight, but I doubt he did more than me. I have dotted all my I’s and crossed all my T’s, I am ready to go."

-- Kenny Florian questions the emotion displayed by BJ Penn at today's weigh-ins.

Who is the weird looking guy above Silva’s right shoulder? He looks like Vitor circa 1997.

look at the size difference

between Silva and Griffin. Griffin is a lot bigger and he will only get bigger come fight time. And he’s ripped. Meanwhile, Silva has a bit of flab on. How much weight will he put on in the next 24 hours, and will that do him any good?

Kenny looks dangerously skinny

And saying that BJ looked small? It looked like you could fit Kenny inside BJ and have them still make 185.

The feds did that and presented it as a gift to her. So no, she didn’t directly kill Kenny.

Actually none of that matters, as Kenny was probably still alive anyway.

i finish fights!!!!!!

if kenny beats penn, imagine the shake down in the LW div. if penn wins, i think he’ll def call out gsp. he wouldnt miss an oppurtunity like that. he’ll def get a reaction from the crowd (mostly gsp fans) that will put both dana and gsp on the spot. he might not get an immediate rematch, but he will def seal a future bout, also it may end up non title.

by realblood33 on Aug 7, 2009 9:27 PM EDT reply actions  

I could see BJ calling out GSP, but I don’t know if he’ll get the fight. He’s already lost 2 straight to an ever improving GSP. Not to mention the fact the GSP straight up wrecked BJ in last fight. I would watch the fight because I will watch any fight, but there would be NO doubt in my mind what the outcome would be, and that would be an even worse destruction that the last fight.

by attgnp on Aug 7, 2009 9:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

what if ufc decides to toss deigo n the octagon after the fight, much like they did with thiago alves, in any case its going to be epic, i cant wait. im just excited the LW belt is the on the line after such a long time.

by realblood33 on Aug 7, 2009 10:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

diego has pretty much confirmed that he’ll be in the cage for a faceoff with whoever wins.

only way i see them giving bj another shot at gsp is if he gives up the lightweight belt… and that’s a huge if. i think even he knows (from his comments during the countdown show), that he needs to defend his title a few more times before they’ll even consider letting georges brutalize him again.

by woooburn on Aug 7, 2009 11:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

BJ with forced intensity?

If there’s any fighter out there with forced intensity, it’s Diego Sanchez…. and that guy tears it up. We’ll see tomorrow night. It’s going to be VERY interesting.

man did you see sanchez at the staredown at guida fight, it looked like he was going to burst an artery, but i dont think his intensity is fake, but all that YES bullshit is def made up.

by realblood33 on Aug 7, 2009 9:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

Diego is f-ed in the head. His intensity is about 85% real.

Congrats Kenny, while BJ goes home with the lightweight championship belt at least you’ll have the sacrifice and preparedness belt.

I am sick of Florian acting like he has achieved more than BJ. Florian has been 100 times more cocky than BJ has been for this fight.

by Dropkick434 on Aug 7, 2009 9:59 PM EDT reply actions  

I wouldn’t necessarily call him cocky, he does feel that he has grown as a fighter since he fought sherk for the title, but if you listen to his interviews, he’s never questioned penn’s accomplishments.

by realblood33 on Aug 7, 2009 10:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

I live in Philly and decided to roll to the Weigh-ins with two friends i convinced to liking MMA. We were bummed because we missed the autograph session, Forrest Griffin is fucking huge. Matt Serra remembered me from wizardworld or wtf ever convention he was here for AND last but not least…..RENZO was there! met him and got pictures.

a day before ufc 101

I watched the count down show, the weigh ins, press conference, and some fights from main even fighters so I’m ready.

Anderson vs Forrest will be fun, but I will have to agree with anderson when he says Robert Dryadale is an idiot! Forrest submitting Anderson? Hmm…. If Forrest wins its by decision. But I call anderson by tko round 2. But Forrest wins round 1.

Kenny has a big mouth as does his coaches, kill bj? Yeah okay. Bj wins this fight by tko. Everyone talks about kennys evolution but bj is still leaps and bounds better then the lw division.

by xtremecouture on Aug 8, 2009 1:54 AM EDT via mobile reply actions  

I don’t think anything Drysdale said about Anderson’s BJJ was inaccurate. Anderson kinda rubbed me the wrong way when he said things like who is Robert Drysdale and that he is an idiot. It’s not like the guy is a world champion in BJJ or anything…

by Zack Gobie on Aug 8, 2009 2:07 AM EDT up reply actions  

yea... but

A. Silva is trained in BJJ by the Nog Brothers, and this is MMA… not strictly grappling…

I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.

I really wish Drysdale had been able to go on TUF 10.
