This was an easily predictable fight.

BJ is like a midget fighting at 170 retire already or gtf in shape and fight 155

Penn looked like he cracked a rib in the 2nd round.

That being said, Rory not finishing this fight is somewhat of a disappointment. I expected more.

Was thinking the same. Between wobbling him in the 1st and the rib in the 2nd, he had his chances. Just coasted through the 3rd though.

BJ has I think the best chin Mma has ever seen. But ts time BJ don't be a gatekeeper

Yep. Penn might not be able to beat anyone at 170 at this point in his career. Work your ass off, get to 155, get a win, and retire with some pride.

Chin yes, but a few more body shots from Rory would've made the chin irrelevant.

Rory looked very good tonight, but lets be honest, thus far his two most impressive wins are over two guys who should never be fighting at 170. Penn & Nate Diaz.

Condit vs. Rory is a better match.

Once GSP holds Nick Diaz down in a "dominant position" for 5 rounds, I'd LOL if UFC tries to make Rory & GSP happen.....the uneasiness of the lead up to that fight would be epic.

I did not expect Rory to kickbox the **** out of BJ. Saw him using striking to set up takedowns. Che Mills tagged Rory a few times before he was taken down and smashed. Thought BJ's hands would get through what seemed like mechanical standup from Rory. Rory's striking was on full display tonight, BJ closes shop after the 1st round like nobody's business.

Rory was a bit classless tonight, but still got the win

Good for him

[NoCalMike]

Mike Goldberg calling Rory's win a "changing of the guard" is laughable.

The changing of the guard was Edgar beating Penn twice. That was the end of Penn as an elite fighter.

I suppose Penn should move up to 185 and get slaughtered by Wieman for the next changing of the guard?

bwaaaaaa, already nearly got tapped out

Shogun getting worked over.

Not seeing much from Gus that makes me think he could challenge Jones. He hasn't faced a wrestler since he got submitted by Davis.

I agree with all of that. BJ Penn has no business fighting at that weight class, GSP man handled him to the point of throwing in the towel. As you said the change was when Edgar took everything Penn had and gave it back with interest. Twice.
