BJ Penn: 'If anyone thinks I'm in Hilo sitting on my ass, they're crazy'

Quoteworthy:

"If anyone thinks I'm in Hilo sitting on my ass, they're crazy. They don't have much to work with, they've only got Frankie Edgar. I'm not afraid to exchange with him in any way [but] I don't think he wants to exchange with me. He's going to be running around. He's just going to try and jazz up what he did last time. A little quicker, a little better, maybe throw a kick. He can run around all he wants, sooner or later he's going to have to step up to me and he's going to have to do something and when that happens, that's going to be the time. I'm going to knock him out or submit him or slam him on his head and have him get knocked out from that. I'm all about finishing my guy and I cannot wait to finish him. After it's done I want him to look at me and think 'That's what it's like to fight BJ Penn, that's what it's like to fight the world champion.'"

Former UFC Lightweight Champion BJ Penn won't play the waiting game in his rematch with Frankie Edgar at UFC 118 on Aug. 28 in Boston. "The Answer" won a razor close unanimous decision over "The Prodigy" at UFC 112 back in March, in a fight so closely contested that UFC President Dana White ordered an immediate rematch. Can the New Jersey native replicate his performance in "Beantown" and take two straight against the Hawaiian? A pretty tall order.

I think BJ will be VERY aggressive in this fight. His reputation is somewhat on the line here.

i dont think so. most could make a legit argument that BJ won the last fight. and edgar didnt ever try to finish him

i hope he will be aggresive and worked on his takedown defense. i feel the takedows even though nothing was done with them won the fight for edgar. its a flaw in MMA judging

it would be nice to see BJ crush edgar

I am one of the ones that think he won the last fight. The reason I say this is because BJ is saying that this fight won't go to a decision and he won't allow Edgar to run from him this time. He says he is going to finish the fight as quick as possible.

That makes me think he will be much more aggressive than the last fight.
