BJ Penn has responded by announcing that Joe Rogan is a clone with Bryan Callen living inside him.

BJ Penn is the most overrated fighter of all times. I can name 15 lightweights with greater accomplishments and much tougher competition. The talent pool went up like 10x between the BJ era and Frankieās era and then went up another 10x after that.

What a weird statement. Its universally accepted BJ penn fought way tougher competitionā¦ Thats the entire debate.. Bj Penn fought much better guys, absolute legends.. Khabib only beat one guy who touched a title (RDA won his several fights after khabib fight). Khabib has a padded record.. Bj penns career basically starts where khabib was already more than 20 fights deep before he started fighting decent comp and even then only fought 1 top guy.

How do people rationalize this when at his peak, during his 155 championship reign, Frankie Edgar beat the absolute dog shit out of him?
Do you understand how bad someone like Gaethje wouldāve chewed him up? Prime Tony? Poirier? And thatās before even mentioning the obvious ones.

Dude went toe to toe with prime gsp and hughes among others GOATs from a weight class up wirh 10+ defenses but some bums who cant do better than a interim title are the measuring stick for tough comp.
What a fucking joke HAHA

Was curious how many consider Penn still at his peak during the two Edgar fights? If so, it might be hard to justify BJ as the GOAT LW. Pennās best/biggest win at LW is Gomi right?
His peak at LW would be winning the title again against Joe Stevenson, then he beat Sherk, Kenflo, and Diego. This would be BJās best run in the division?

You mean quit on the stool with prime GSP.
While ignoring that natural 135 Frankie Edgar beat the absolute dog shit out of him at his peak.
Interim champs in a deeper era.

Frankie edgar was same size as bj penn.
Its not deeper. Its just newer lol.
Khabib is good donāt get me wrong.. On the OG i was basically the only one saying he would walk through tony everyone else had tonys balls in their mouths. When they had their respective parallel runs in the UFC.
But khabib quit before he proved anything. He has 3 top 5 wins.. If all fighters quit after 3 top 5 wins theres dozens of guys retiring undefeated. Its not impressive.

He was the champion and at his physical peak (Marinovich training) during that time so common sense says it was his prime.

Youāre retarded. Joe Stevenson isnāt top 30 in this era. He was a title challenger in BJās.

Youre retarded. Khabib has 3 top 5 wins and only beat 1 champ.
Yeah he retired too soon but still had better wins than BJ had at LW.
An unranked win like Edson Barboza is better than these BJ title fights:
Joe Stevenson
Diego (mid as fuck)

Al Iaquinta was a real beast too right? Donāt cherry pick opponents, look at the best guys they fought. Did Khabib ever move up and fight the #1 guy in a heavier division?
