UFC 80: Rapid Fire Preview Video

January 4th, 2008 | by Dr J

BTW: In the video, watch how long BJ Penn holds onto the rear naked choke of Jens Pulver after Pulver taps out. Then think about the whole ruckus that happened with Renato “Babalu” Sobral in his fight with David Heath.

oh man, this is a great main event! we finally get to see BJ put to the test again and Joe Daddy in the toughest fight of his life. WOW! im very interested to see who comes out on top, im with BJ obviously but before BJ dropped down, i was the one saying Joe was the next LW champ.

I think they will stand a bit for the crowd, but by the first min of the first round they will probably hit the deck. Rapid fire.. dumb name.

i can see this one being a standing war just because both guys are so good on the ground it would almost be a mistake for ether one to take it to the ground. on the feet i think BJ has a little advantage because hes a pretty good striker and has a good chin. im not sure who i wanna pick in this fight i keep saying Joe but im thinking BJ.

Man, I’m really disappointed cause I won’t get to see this fight. I really like BJ as a fighter, but I have a strong suspicion that Joe’s gonna pull off the “upset” here. I’m still not sure who I’m gonna end up picking for this one. Now that we’re going for a full season, I’m gonna end up in the top spot for our Fight Camp at mmaplayground!!

Wow, BJ really dwarfs Stevenson, huh?

Yeah, I was surprised by the height difference too. I didn’t think BJ was that tall (or that Joe was that short)

im going with joe daddy but for reals bj is the huge favorite in this fight.Im also looking forward to the lamber-goviea fight this fight was suppose to happen a long time ago oh and i think for sure gonzaga is starting his road for the title when he wins this fight ending with a fight against big nog later this year

I like Stevenson in this as well. And BJ did hold that choke on Pulver for a little while longer, but nobody wants to get mad at “The Prodigy”

Amir: I also have to go with Vinny over Bader and I’m picking Nover by decision.

bvrasp: Efrain and Phillipe is gonna be a crazy fight, phillipe has the striking advantage and Efrain has the grappling advantage in both wrestling...

richard: junie is only there cuz for one reason,people tune into two kinds of people 1 cuz they love someone and 2 like in junies case we hate...

bvrasp: Junie is on the main card and Krzysztof is on the undercard???? WTF?? i was glad to see Junie beaten mentally then beaten physically though...

richard: well i lost all my money,but torres looked great but he better watch out against bowles.

Dr J: well, if he chooses to ignore his US suspension and fight outside the country his US license will most likely be revoked and he wont be able...

richard: hey dr.j ive been hearing that antonio silva is going to fight outside the usa,ignoring his suspension what does this mean when he wants...

richard: sounds like a great card,im ordering for sure
