BJ Penn vs Rich Franklin

[québecwarrior]

BJ seem to be talking again of fighting at higher weight again after he beat GSP(in his mind)
But I would be interresseted to see a Franklin vs Penn down the road..
How would it go?
It's not the best weight of Penn, but he is insanely talented and fought a good fight with Machida
What would be the outcome for you?

Franklin by SD

[Nuke]

Penn triangle/armbar in the second round, tapout 1:30 left. Franklin becomes the dreaded "gatekeeper" status from there on out.

Normally I would take Franklin over any normal 155 lbs, but the fucker of Penn ain't normal
He would probably sub Franklin

Over 5 rounds? Franklin would wear him down and win a UD. 3 rounds, Penn might take a decision. I don't see either guy getting stopped. Maybe Penn could be stopped in a five round fight due to fatigue. Franklin is a really big and strong guy.

Good observation, I didnt think about the 5 rounders:think
If Franklin can make the 3 rounds whitout being submitted and fight the fight a good space, he could stop Penn late but the scenario of a UD over 5 rounds is more expected

Id have to go with Franklin hed would use his size to wear BJ down. Franklin you gotta remember isnt a normal Middleweight he cuts quite a bit of weight.
