The Easter Bunny is just a guy in a suit!?!?!?!?

PrintOriginally posted on WKR but I decided to see if I can get any more response over here...if this is against the rules, I apologise.
***Disclaimer 1*** I wrote this right after the fight but I tried to preview it and I was blocking popups and I thought it disappeared, but today I went and changed my profile and saw it was still there so I am posting it now
Disclaimer 2
So this is my first FanPost so I'll be brief. Full Disclosure, I am a terrible writer, and have a piss poor command of the english language...
To start, I'm a total BJ fan. He was the first fighter that I really bought into the hype for. He came, he saw he conquered, for quite a while. The Prodigy, one of the few times the nickname fit. His win loss record isn't the best by just looking at it, but then you look a little bit closer. Before Frankie Edgar, the only guy to beat BJ twice was GSP and I feel like BJ won the first fight, but that's not really the point, those fights were at 170. The other losses were Hughes, Machida and Pulver. All legends or fights outside 155. The first guy that I realised had the total package. Then came "The Answer" (who's nickname fits oddly enough) Who had the perfect gameplan and strategy it seems (styles make fights is an old boxing adage that just doesn't get used enough), just out speed the patient counterstiking approach of BJ and not be (too) afraid of the JJ. If it would have been a closer fight I'd probably be making excuses, BJ needs a new camp or some other such bullshit (I do think he would have more success if he'd use his JJ more, but building the takedowns necessary to get the wrestlers to their backs is probably not going to happen, again not the point of the post, but ya know) . The reality is that Edgar dominated BJ. It's like finding out that Santa is just an anagram for Satan, the Easter Bunny is just a guy in a suit and Sham Wows don't really work. Not much else to say. I'm gonna go cry now
So I guess I'll just go ahead and say Thanks for being the first guy in the UFC that I thought was the absolute shit, you went against their pay policies before the internet had an anti Zuffa bias, you always fight to fight, not to win a decision, and you are just one Tough Mother Fucker that will fight anyone, anytime, any weight. Respect to one of the alltime greats that I believe is getting written off too soon.

Not possibly,
it IS the best movie of all time. The Dude is the best character of all time. I’m prepared for a death fight to defend that stance. And thanks.

Wrong
Stifler is the greatest character of all time.

False!
Absolute falsehood. I don’t know how you can live with yourself after spreading such a disgusting piece of slander!
Big Lebowski is not the greatest movie of all time
It’s not even the best Coen brothers movie

"styles make fights is an old boxing adage that just doesn't get used enough"
Not so sure about that, err wait… you were kidding, right?
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail." - Jack Burton
Not kidding
Just really hadn’t heard it when I wrote the article (which was after the fight saturday night) and it really seems to apply to the Frankie Edgar’s matchup with BJ

“styles make fights” is used in multiple UFC drinking games I believe, Goldy loves to use it.

I’m saying it (or the underlying concept – Edgar’s style working so well against the patient counter approach that BJ used, it can’t mean that BJ just ran into a bad style matchup but rather BJ is a shot fighter.) isn’t used enough by the internet press (that I have read on the fight) about it… But yeah one could possibly accelerate liver failure just by having a drink everytime goldy says it…

Or
Chug a beer everytime Rogan says “tremendous”.
God, that word’s so trendy nowadays. Good word, but wayyyyyyy overused lately. In MMA especially, but really in all sports media.

It's all about the fight.
It’s a mentality that is a rarity amongst mixed martial artists nowadays. That’s why I love BJ Penn.
I'm just a 16 year old kid who loves MMA.
