How do all of you newbies to MMA think B.J. was beating GSP in their first? He fucking GOUGED GSP's EYE. GSP by his own words, was seeing double. THAT IS THE ONLY AND I MEAN ONLY reason why BJ was winning the first round. There is absolutely NOTHING B.J. can offer than GSP cannot match and/or overpower with. God damn it, if you keep sucking B.J's dick, you might as well call yourself the TUF guys you are.
Hope this helps.
You obviously aren't talking about the BJ Penn who dominated Hughes in their first match on their feet, on the ground and eventually RNCed him. Or the BJ Penn that destroyed Bang Ludwig right after Bang KOed Jens, or the BJ that dominated Takanori Gomi on his feet, then RNCed him, or the BJ Penn that stood with a bigger and stronger Lyoto Machida and traded and lost a decision (even though he was fighting up two classes), the same Machida who KOed Ace and Stephan Bonnar. Or the BJ that dominated Rodrigo on the feet, ground and clinch, and made Renzo look human even though he was terribly out of shape. No, I just must be a jockrider who knows as much as a TUF newb. If you ever get a chance, get some mat time with BJ, it is EXTREMELY humbling, even when you outweigh the guy by 25+ lbs. They don't call him the phenom for nothing. Randy Couture gets subbed by BJ as does Matt Lindland.
BTW, GSP was sent to the hospital after their fight, while BJ looked unscathed. Rewatch round 1, BJ was beating him to the punch, countering effectively showing good head movement and footwork.
Lets not forget the dominating performances with Din, Genki Sudo, UD Serra
