not going to watch. He doesnt train much
I love watching Baby Job take a beating. I can’t wait.
Walk away. Don’t want to see you get hurt.
I feel sorry for him exposing himself for more (brain) injury at a time when he is way past his prime.
Washed up, collect a check UFC fights are a joke. Retire BJ, Frank Mir, Tito Ortiz, et all.
Miller isn’t very good so maybe BJ has chance this time. Some people just don’t know when to quit though, UFC is a young man’s sport and BJ isn’t a young man anymore.
Really? Take a look in the mirror Penn. You’re a has been and too old to fight anyone.
