UFC 118 headliner B.J. Penn aiming to keep the “fight” in “ultimate fighting”
by Steven Marrocco on Aug 20, 2010 at 1:00 pm ET
B.J. Penn (15-6-1 MMA, 11-6-1 UFC) still smarts over the fact that he lost his UFC lightweight belt on points, and he’s determined to give the judges a fight off when he rematches Frankie Edgar (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) at next week’s UFC 118 event.

The former champion sees a trend of high-profile fights going to decisions, and it’s one thing he loathes as a 10-year veteran of the sport who’s trying to keep up with all these young kids.

“I vote to keep the ‘fight’ in ‘ultimate fighting,’” he said.

Judges gave Edgar the nod at UFC 112 with scores of 50-45, 50-45 and 49-46, though many critics saw things differently. Many observers felt Penn’s punches had done more damage while Edgar stayed busier and landed a greater number of strikes. However, most gave Edgar the edge due to two takedowns he scored in rounds two and five.

The loss snapped a two-plus-year run as champion for the Hilo, Hawaii native. During his reign, he stopped Joe Stevenson, Sean Sherk, Kenny Florian and Diego Sanchez to claim the top spot in most 155-pound rankings.

Penn credits Edgar and the new champ’s camp for a good game plan, and he takes responsibility for his poor performance at the April 12 event. He said it’s all the more motivation to avenge his loss decisively next Saturday at the TD Garden in Boston.

Penn believes, by the way, that other fighters should follow suit, as well. He said the sport’s explosive rise in popularity has drained its unpredictability since his octagon debut at UFC 31 in 2001 – and judges are partially at fault.

“Every fighter looks exactly the same,” he said. “It’s crazy now, but I guess that’s the future of the sport, and that’s how the sport has evolved. Nobody wants to be on their back because even if the guy doesn’t do one bit of damage, he’s still going to lose the fight.

“That’s really affecting how fighters fight because the judges, as we all know, they don’t know what they’re doing. I don’t think anyone should get points for any of the grappling positions.

“What’s the sense of taking Demian Maia down, and why should you get points for that, and why should you get points for mounting James Toney? It doesn’t make sense to me. It’s all about damage and submission attempts; that’s the only thing that really matter in the fight.”

Penn didn’t say much on what he plans to do differently in his second fight with Edgar. In previous interviews, though, he promises to corner the Toms River, N.J. native and force him to engage.

He didn’t sound too hot on an immediate rematch and trilogy fight with Edgar if he dominates next Saturday’s fight, but he said he would grant a third meeting if asked.

More important is proving to everyone, including himself, that he can finish fights.

“I think every fighter should have that same motivation to want to finish because it puts more money in all of our pockets, and it builds the UFC, and it just makes everybody happy all the way around,” Penn said. “There is a lot of controversy with people taking the ‘fight’ out of ‘ultimate fighting,’ and they really want to go to decision, and they feel happy with that. If that’s the way they like to do things, that’s the way they do it.

“But for me, I’ve always been about the fight, and I’m more of a fighter than an athlete. Maybe that’s why people say I don’t come in shape and these kind of things. Because I’m not an athlete. I didn’t grow up playing all types of sports my whole life. All I’ve ever [done] was get into a fight, and a lot of it was over emotion.”

Good Luck to Rich Barnard in his upcoming fight this Saturday!

IRVINE, Calif. — Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia tacked another knockout onto his ledger Saturday with a short right uppercut that sent Paul Buentello crashing to the mat in the main event of “War on the Mainland” at the Bren Events Center.

The two sluggers traded big shots in the first round with Sylvia gaining a slight advantage due to sheer volume. Buentello landed some clean combinations, but they were few and far between.

The second frame saw Sylvia bully Buentello into the corner and brutalize him with knees to the body and crisp elbows from the clinch. Buentello was able to extricate himself from the corner, but Sylvia was relentless and began to attack his legs with stinging kicks.

Buentello tried to fire back, but his legs grew more and more wobbly with each kick. Sylvia then stepped in with a combination that finished with the right uppercut that put Buentello down. He followed up with punches on the ground until referee “Big” John McCarthy halted the fight at 4:57 of the period.

“This one was important to me because I wanted to show that I am still a fighter who can be dangerous in the heavyweight division,” said the former two-time UFC champ. “I have another fight with Moosin and I want to fight Pedro (Rizzo) and then hopefully Mr. (Dana) White will be giving me a call.”

The loss really stung for Buentello, who told Sherdog.com after the bout that the loss cost him a potential spot on the UFC’s Ultimate Fight Night 22 card in his home state of Texas.

“This is three steps backwards for me,” said Buentello, “I need to figure out what is going on, because I just didn’t pull the trigger again.”

Tony Lopez added the Powerhouse World Promotions light heavyweight championship to his multiple KOTC championships by knocking out former UFC contender Jason Lambert with a devastating knee in the second round of their five-round title fight. Lambert had trouble taking Lopez down. He eventually paid the price when he tried to back out of a stuffed takedown attempt and was planted with a hard left knee. Lopez followed up with punches to a listless Lambert until referee Jason Herzog could step in to save him at 1:49 of the second period.

Matt Horwich is one of the true characters of the sport. The soft-spoken former IFL champion added the PWP middleweight title to his resume after he stopped Thales Leites by rear-naked choke in the fourth round of their title match.

Horwich survived a tight arm-triangle choke attempt in the third round and transitioned into an oma plata to put Leites on the defensive. That exchange personified the bout as the two put on a grappling clinic.

The fourth round began with a rare striking exchange, but Horwich was able to take control of Leites’ back and get him to the canvas. He quickly sank his hooks and locked up the choke that would end the fight at the 44-second mark.
