Its official the "yes cartwheel" doesn't work! Penn is untouchable at 155.
Any MMA fan would have known BJ was better than Diego in every category but even I was surprised at how badly BJ dominated the fight. In a previous blog I said BJ would win by using his boxing, take down defense, and jiu jitsu. I will now admit I was wrong... He didn't even need his jiu jitsu! Diego's take downs became desperate and when ever you're desperate in the cage, its not a good sign.
Even I questioned BJ's cardio work before but I promise to never do that again. Diego Sanchez and Sean Sherk are 2 of the biggest cardio machines out there and BJ took them apart.
The world's best at 155I may think Diego is an odd person, but as a fighter, the guy has got heart. He got rocked in the first round and he made all the way till the 5th round. sort of....
So whos next? A hard question but its clear no one at 155 suits BJ. Maybe a fight against Jose Aldo? But I don't see that happening. Probably moving up to 170 to face Josh Koscheck or even Jon Fitch to earn a #1 contenders match against GSP again. In my opinion its useless, no one can take down Georges St-Pierre at 170 (literally).
I like his name as 'Nightmare' because just looking at his face now gives me nightmares!
