I agree the way Maynard fought tonight he can't do that against Penn he will get owned.

Gray is not ready for Penn. It won't be close Gray needs more fights.

Edgar is tough and a game opponent, but there is just absolutely nobody in the LW division that can even make it worth Penn's time. i hate it too because i can't stand B.J. but nobody in the UFC can beat him at 155.

JDS should win that one also.

Other observations

Bj Penn is light years ahead of anyone in Lightweight right now. Gray Maynard??Frankie Edgar? All good fighters but not in Bj leagues, it will take an epic upset along the lines of a Serra/GSP for Bj to lose his title.

Im rooting for Belfort to be beat Anderson. I have always and will always be a Vitor Fan.

I'd agree with your LW assessment. When watching Gray against Diaz, the only thing I could think was that Penn would utterly maul either guy in that match.

Hm I just read on Junkie where Leben was the highest paid fighter of Fight Night 20. When did he fight? I know I missed the Maynard fight but I also missed Leben's fight. Who did he fight?

The UFC needs to find some major talent in their 3 lower weight classes. None of the 3 are all that interesting right now. I just assume that Anderson, GSP, and BJ are going to win every time they step into the Octagon at their respective weight classes. I honestly don't think that either one has a true challenge left in their division. I think Hendo could have pushed Anderson had he not left the UFC. GSP has no peers at 170, and BJ will remain untested at 155 until the UFC upgrades the talent pools in those divisions.

Yeah, Leben decisioned a dude pretty easily in the prelims. I have to imagine it'd have been their first choice to get aired (due to him being a decent name), but with three fights going the distance and the fourth making it to the third round nulled that.

I really don't like that fight.

If Tito wins: Everyone will say Tito beat a washed-up Chuck and it makes Chuck look even worse
If Chuck wins: Chuck will think he still has it and maybe want to fight more and it makes Tito look HORRIBLE
