A lot of BJ's game is counter striking. So for him to take center octagon and basically "chase" Frankie around the ring all not, shows just as much aggression as Frankie showed IMO. And yes, BJ did have a take down attempt. So, I can see where Fuzo is coming from. I have only watched it once, but judging by the fight metrics which include kicks, BJ outpointed Frankie there. And he had just as much Octagon control. Also I found this note on the scores:
"Note: Frankie did not receive credit for a successful takedown in round 2 because he was unable to establish an advantageous position before Penn got back to his feet"
So, I can see anyone's argument that Penn won the fight. The 50-45 scoring should just freaking SHOUT that they need to fix the scoring system. This has gotten to be ridiculous...absolutely ridiculous. I am not saying this because Penn lost. I am saying this because there are a ton of fights lately where the judges have really screwed things up. I mean it has been so obvious that these judges are complete idiots to the sport of MMA. Hell, there was one judge a while back that had no idea what a submission was! I mean come on, you have a judge that is calling an MMA fight and has no idea what a submission is.....give me a break.
