BJ Penn to fight Ryan Hall, on the Cyborg/Nunes card UFC 232.

http://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/24658183/bj-penn-make-return-octagon-ryan-hall-dec-29


Why though? :dontknow: 1-5-1 in his last 7 fights, since the two losses to Frankie. Making that 1-7-1 in his last 9 fights since losing 155 belt.

That really isn't bad that, actually. Been a long time since we've seen Ryan Hall fight, so it's just good to see him back, and he won't inflict a lot of damage against Penn. I'm not really sure how BJ is on the ground anymore, but that's what makes me really interested. Really a win-win if they're going to have him compete.

I like this match up a lot more for BJ than essentially the last 5 guys (Siver, Yair, Frankie, Rory, Nick) he fought who were all had great to elite striking credentials.

Ya, I never want to see Penn fight again, but this isn't that bad as it's more a skill fight. Penn vs stand up guys and KO artists is a gruesome thought.

That said, watch this somehow turn out to be a stupid slugfest lol

RIP Kid

One of my favourite fighters of all time. He was one of the first Japanese fighters who mixed elite level wrestling with excellent striking and doing it with a hard punching and exciting style and flare. Shame to see him go so young

He was a POS, though. Gang affiliations, guns, etc. And he'd go after dudes after ref stoppages.
Hi love, bye love, I will miss my love.

I haven't really checked out any bareknuckle stuff yet, but I read yesterday that there are already multiple organizations doing this. Is that true?

Can we please get someone to take the leap to bareknuckle mma?

So apparently Jones had to snitch to get the 4yr suspension down to a little over a year

The timing of when his suspension ends is super suspicious.
