Fantasyfight: BJ Penn vs Dekkers

Tom Yum · 11-17-2004, 12:39 AM

Any opinions on this fantasy match up?

How long would it take to get Dekkers to the ground?
Can Dekkers land quickly and sprawl?

I'm not sure if sprawling would matter a great deal. If B.J. doesn't get his shot in, he'll probably pull guard. His ground game in unbelievable. I'm going to see him fight one of the Gracies (can't remember which one) on the 20th at Rumble on the Rock, B.J.'s organization here in Honolulu.I've never seen anyone as well rounded and deadly in his weight class!

BJ's fighting Rodrigo at ROTR.

And I think Royler is also fighting there?

Make sure you send us results once it's over!

"I'm not sure if sprawling would matter a great deal."

BJ has already taken down 2 really good wrestlers (Joey Gilbert and Matt Hughes) in MMA matches. i don't think that just cuz a great kickboxer learns to sprawl, it would be enough to stop Penn from getting the fight where he wants it. just reference BJ vs. Ludwig. Ludwig has better than avg sprawl and takedown defense for a striker, BJ just blew right threw that.
