Nice
That would be cruel to Joe.

technically...
still just a rumor, even if Eddie Bravo “thinks” it’s Joe Lauzon

Can't wait but...
..Come fight night, I want the Hilo Kid, the Prodigy and BJ Penn to be put together perfectly and not the fragile shell of those three that we saw in the last two fights.
Guida vs Gomi
is the rumor.

You heard wrong
BJ’s hands aren’t heavy. They’re just big boned.

Guida hinted that he knew who his opponent will be, 2 days after UFC 118
Which makes it extremely unlikely that it’s Penn.

Penn vs Guida
BJ vs Guida NEEDS TO HAPPEN… its a perfect REBOUND fight for BJ Penn and a perfect OPPORTUNITY for Clay Guida.

Just so Diaz doesn’t have to show off his ribs and BJ can eat Loco Moco.

They're seem to train together pretty often.

Put him on 122 for free
Against the Winner/Siver tag team.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
Putting him on 122 as a co-main wouldn't be a bad idea.
But would BJ do it? He was less than pleased with the financials from his stint at UFC 80. If there’s no PPV % bonus to be had then he’s probably thinking UFC 123 in Michigan instead.

BJ needs to get back with Skynet those lunatics the Marinovich Bros. ASAP.
Walking the line between intelligence and ignorance since 1985
@deowade
Penn vs Diaz wouldnt happen but it would be a fun fight for sure… Penn vs Guida is what makes most sense right now! Penn vs Gomi already happend!

I def agree with penn guida because maybe penn getting non stopped punches thrown at his face will make him actually hit back and use his sick KO boxing skills…..what did he throw fuckin 71 punches total in the last edgar fight?
Are you saying that Guida will throw nonstop punches at Penn?
The only people who’ve stood toe-to-toe with Penn is Edgar and Jens Pulver. For 99/100 fighters, trading with Penn is a terrible but unavoidable thing to do.

Guida will throw punches
But his direction sometimes is a bit off and away from his opponent.

Sometimes I wonder
if he would be a better fighter if he cut off his hair. It just has to mess up his vision during a fight.
His hair stops the judges from seeing that he’s doing nothing.

lol
He’ll throw punches around Penn’s face.

My guess is Guida fighting Gomi. If he was gonna fight BJ, there are a shitload more hints he could have used than “Heavy hands”.
That being said for BJ:
Florian?
Winner of Miller/Tibau?
Winner of Sherk/Dunham?

Well that news from Guida could have come before BJ and Dana did their sexting

Whoops i meant texting
Stupid phone
by Polyhedron on Sep 10, 2010 12:36 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Yeah if Penn fought Guida I could almost see him losing that due to Guida’s cardio and insane pace. Also, that hair does give him an extra round on the cards as others have said
by Polyhedron on Sep 10, 2010 12:34 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
They said the same about Sanchez
and we saw how that ended. BJ’s weakness is speed which Guida doesn’t have.
bj's
Weakness is people That don’t commit to a "fight ending attack " and his inability to change his game plan during a fight. He should have taken Francis down rd.1 -5 And subbed him. IMHO
by the-gentle-way on Sep 10, 2010 9:35 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Could it be a rematch with florian?
I mean, if guida is facing gomi like we believe…..who else is there in the division? miller,tibau,sherk,dunham,stephens,guillard ,griffin are all tied up. And if the fight is gonna be in november as he says, that leaves either nate diaz or florian. Because there is no way the ufc lets him beat on an up and coming guy.
I'd love to see him drop his team...
And move to the mainland, there are a lot of great fighters out of Hawaii. Their biggest downfall is that they STAY in Hawaii.
by A K I R A on Sep 10, 2010 3:44 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
No, fighters go to Hawaii JUST to train with BJ. There’s no gym out of Hawaii that will change what he does. That’s like saying Fedor should leave Russia because he lost to Werdum. Frankie has the perfect style to counter BJ’s style and it’s just shitty luck for BJ. Even if you got him to leave Hawaii… He’s STILL Hawaiian no matter where he goes.

What does him being Hawaiin have anything to do with the subject?

im calling Penn vs. Guida
I know the timing isint perfect, but I have a feeling Joe Silva and co. Will go with this fight over Penn or Guida vs. Gomi. The Gomi rematch would be fun, but outside of the hardcores no one would be amped up for it because Gomi is still something of an unknown quantity to American fans. Besides, why kill his momentum just as he seems poised to recapture some of that old spark?
No, give Gomi Siver in Germany for another fun scrap he can win, and give Penn Guida. Guida is mad over with casual fans, and if this fight were on free TV they would definitely tune in to see it. Its also the perfect fight to show who’s willing to climb (back, in Penns case) to the top of 155 and who isint.
Guida vs. Penn in Germany or Michigan. Callin it.
Give me smallest finger on man's hand. I'll produce information. Computer unnecessary.
