Penn vs. Edgar II

Penn vs. Edgar I was a really interesting fight. The fight was a five rounds and fight minutes long. It could had gone either way. But in the judges's eyes, it was Edgar who came out victorious. But to the people's eyes, it could had been a draw.

To me, I can see Edgar winning the fight because he was more active and he was landing and actually took BJ Penn down. Edgar was really good at moving in angles and being quick on his feet which tired Penn down. I'm not quite sure but I think Edgar did more damage to Penn's face.

But I can see it becoming a draw because Penn was landing more with the stiff jabs. The stiff jabs was really effected and Edgar couldn't really come close to Penn. I think that Penn probably landed more punches and hurted Edgar more. So that's why I think it could had been a draw.

Penn is the best light-weight and one of the best pound-for-pound fighter in mma. But in that fight, it was really noticable that he wasn't in shape and was gasing out in the fight. He is known for not training as hard as he is or other mma should be training. I was really disappointed at his proformance because I think if he was in shape he could had won the fight easily.

So, that's why there is going to be a Penn vs. Edgar II. I'm glad that Penn is going to get a rematch because I want him to win and reclaim what is his. And also because I'm a big fan of BJ Penn. Hopefully BJ Penn is training hard for his fight and not like his first fight with Edgar.
