i think standard penn tdd and speed would win here, johnson's takedowns aren't GSP/fitch level and even GSP only got penn down in the second round of their title fight i think.
johnson would probably be less effective and have less time to grind bj down.
penn decision i think or 3rd round sub

Except Anthony Johnson is big enough to be a heavyweight... I'd easily pick Johnson for 3 rounds of lay and pray.

LOL I'm curious now in a sicko sort of way.
Fair bit of shit has been going down over on bjpenn.com over training etc and why he stopped using the Marinovich brothers. Interesting read as BJ was answering quite a few questions and giving some incites into what goes on behind the scenes.
not news but seems like seagal was telling the truth about teaching machida and silva some martial arts tricks. he's teaching them kali arnis and some aikido
hard to argue that the guy's not legit when 2 of most elite strikers listen to him lol

Commenting on a picture of Chael Sonnen posted on The Underground forum today, Bisping mocked the American’s recent California State Athletic Commission hearing. Sonnen told the hearing he was using hormone replacement for his UFC 117 fight with Anderson Silva because he has under-developed testicles.
“I think Jail just saw Jake Shields in the shower and cant take how large his balls were in relation to his,” Bisping commented underneath the photo, which shows Sonnen next to Shields looking a little cross."

Never seen anyone as tricked by marketing as you lol.
Silva isn't big in Brazil, even though he is from Brazil, Seagal however is extremely known in Brazil,
and they are both using it to their advantage that massive media whoring is awesome.

A broken hand takes Mike Kyle out of the fight vs. Gegard Mousasi at "Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley"
i just got back from RFC 4 which is an mma here in recife - brazil
here is card:
70kg Junior Assunção (Ascension MMA - EUA) VS Wes Murch (ING)
70kg Rafaello Oliveira (AMA Fight Club-EUA) VS Ryan "Bones" Bixler (EUA)
93kg Marcos Rogério "Pezão" (Barbosa Team-SP) VS Rodrigo "Dragão"(PR)
66kg Marcos Vinicius (NineNine-PE) VS Renato Velame(Champion Team-BA)
100kg Cassio "Jacaré" (Jacaré Fight Team) VS "Leleco" Guimarães (Gracie Barra-BA)
61kg Vanessa Porto (SP) VS Kalindra Farias (Gibi Thai-SP)
77kg Thawã Rils (NineNIne-PE) VS Alldyr "Pé" (Gracie Barra/Axé Capoeira-PE)
84kg Jack Godzilla (Kezen-PE) VS Gilvan (Marcos Valle JJ-PE)
84kg Renato Castro (Kezen-PE) VS Paulo Cesar (Punch Team/GF/NineNine-PE)
70kg Pedrinho (Kezen-PE) VS José Angola" (Jacaré Fight Team-PE)
I was especially excited for this fight since for the first time i would see someone fight who i personally knew, my jiu jitsu teacher Renato Castro who was gonna fight his first ever mma fight. He is an amazing jiu jitsu practitioner having won world championship 3 years back if im not mistaken.
He was up against a striker and immediately took a punch or two and tried for the takedown via grabbing one leg which failed ... next few minutes he repeatedly tried the same fail attempt and in numerous occasion got up and gave his back to the striker in which one point the guy kicked him in the ass.. eventually ref stopped the fight from so much beating he was taking and doing absolutely nothing
was quite shocking to me to see my teacher get beat so hard while the guy in jiu jitsu owns so hard
seems like a trend at some of these jj guys that are great on the ground and bad standing that they don't know how to take the opponent down well
anyhow the fights were really bad up until the last two
rafaello oliveira gave an impressive performance vs the american, thought he was really solid and definitely has the potential to be a ufc fighter
and the last fighter, whos brother is already in the ufc, was over in like 30 seconds, guyt chocked the opponent out really fast
and that was the event
ill update post if video ever comes out of the fights
edit:
as promised here is fights:
fight of my jj teacher renato, one of the worst performances i have seen:
fight of godzilla, another guy from my gym, very humble and has some power in him
the last two fights which were the best are not up yet, ill edit again once they are
