That assumes he'll fight someone who will make him tap, sure as hell isn't going to be Sherk... and I'm not buying it'll be Stevenson... but who knows...

don't believe either are capable of submitting Penn. But Penn has too much pride in his BJJ abilities to tap out. He'd believe with his flexability he could still escape even with a broken limb. JMO

As far as people saying that couture had a hard time keeping bj down.... are you serious? you've never heard of hyping the fight? randy was world class at heavy weight. i can see through him building up a fight.

What's the point in building up a fight that is half way through the second round?

Was Couture hoping to sell PPV's throughout the week after the event?

Penn is hard if not impossible to takedown. Hughes is 10X the wrestler Stevenson is and he couldn't do shit to Penn until BJ's rib popped off his rib cage.

Exactly. I get the feeling that Penn is finally taking everything seriously, and is going to hold on to the LW belt for as long as he damn well wants to.
