Frankie Edgar vs. BJ Penn - Striking Lesson

[mrkitanai1]

Yes, Frankie did legitimately beat BJ in the 2nd fight. Yes, Frankie is a very good fighter. But BJ Penn is a GREAT FIGHTER. BJ won the belt in both lightweight and welterweight divisions. He's routinely fought guys who outweighed him by 20-lbs or more. BJ was also a world champion in jiujitsu. It's like this - Junior Jones beat Marco Antonio Barrers TWICE. But any boxing fan will tell you that Barrera was the MUCH better fighter, overall. BJ is the much better fighter, overall.

[joshify360]

Nice One Frankie! Thums up

[TMZreporter]

Bj not just a good store also a good fighter and even better when your girl loves those 2 letters lol

[johnsmith234543]

clinch with one hand in the palm of the other, as if your giving yourself a handshake, it's a much firmer hold than this way. Also, while clinching, force your elbows towards your chest and put his head in there, much harder for him to break out of it.

[GribMurder]

win lose or draw, frankie edgar you are my hero.

[ReluctantZer0]

Slow motion sounds like some predator shit

[Bozy89]

Is there any special reason why he doe'nt lift his heel when he throws the knee?

[andrewtregoning]

frankie's boxing is nasty, great technique

[Henriko1994121]

jeeaab! ;D

[thericate]

5:05 imagine doing this over and over during a fight lol

[onathanj]

Loved when he outclassed Manyard for the last 4 rounds...He must be the most underestemated fighter in the UFC

[nhdarling2]

if ur wondering wut dat noise he makes , its the exhaust pipe, cause hes a machine

[GSPvaseline]

Too bad he fights for points

[TheFatality05]

his technique suck!!!

[easterndragon9x]

@TheFatality05 can you fight against him, pussy?

[darktermi1993]

i don't like his stand up

[drue28k]

If the toes are pointed down, their is less of a chance that they will break if he trys to check. Just stating a fact that my coach taught me.

[drue28k]

The toes should be pointed to the floor on the knees.

[joeyslag]

@drue28k LOOOL Go tell that 2 frankie. I think i might have a bit more of a clue

[CSMixedMartialArts]

this mans striking is ridiculous really fast hands especially his jab

[Andylikesmuchmetal]

What instructional is this off?

[osiris3yhn]

learning striking from this guy is gonna get me knocked out

[Talba91]

@osiris3yhn what the hell are you saying? this guy is the UFC lightweight champion and you think learning striking from this guy is gonna get you knocked out??...

[osiris3yhn]

@Talba91 you dont. you think his striking is good. fuck man you gotta upgrade n look at real strikers strikeee

[docbach329]

@osiris3yhn

Im pretty sure youl get yourself knocked out by not doing the techniqe correctly.

[osiris3yhn]

@docbach329 sure

[docbach329]

@osiris3yhn

Its never the techniqe that lets you down. Its always the person using the technique that makes it either a waste or effective. Sure, this isnt as flashy as Sergio Martinez or Roy Jones or whatever the fuck your used to watching, but I assure you that Franky`s technique is solid and dependable. Ive done these same moves sparing against people who are better then me.

They work.

[osiris3yhn]

@docbach329 thats fucking awesome dude

[MegaCharliechicken]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahah­ahaha he really would

[raymofourteen]

if frankie was fat he would look like ernie from gorge lopez

[cee4pres]

in a championship fight if u rthea challenger then u hve to take da belt away maynard didnt simple as that so edgar shuld have gotten the win

[adnagaporP]

he would make a great trainer

[flatblackstrat]

Frankie is the man. The UFC is trying to make the Maynard thing into a cash cow for them at Frankie's expense. It's BS, he deserved the win and the fight with Pettis to unite the belts.

[TheeDevilWearsPrada]

Fighting looks like so much fun. I wish I could train MMA.

[goonershaun]

@TheeDevilWearsPrada get down to your local gym then man, anybody can do it.

[DYANGLUVS2PIMP21]

Hands down Frankie defeated the best lightweight of all time BJ Penn, when I see Frankie fight I get chills that dudes got alot of heart

[briky7126]

@DYANGLUVS2PIMP21 damn straight after gray knocked him down like 6 times in the 1st round he refused to quit heart of a warrior

[24sportsman24]

@DYANGLUVS2PIMP21 yeah, and remember when he fought tyson griffin and got caught in that knee bar and survived to win the fight? holy shit, i was even tapping and he looked cool as a cucumber.

[Nitepup]

Its about time i seen a real good lesson.... thanks for teaching me this. PROPS.

[chingon711]

this is friggin boring

[ballsoffury4]

Cool guy but very boring fighter, he hits n runs n doesn't have any knock out power.

[Billy7ue32]

@ballsoffury4 Give him a break he's 5'6 and should be fighting at 145, if not 135. Stick and move is what he does and I see his knockout ability getting better in the future. People said the same thing about Cain Velasquez and look at him not

[rrrube]

@ballsoffury4 I like technical fights. Frankie is very entertaining if you're not only expecting KOs.

[ballsoffury4]

@rrrube

I like technical fights too but they don't have to be boring. One of the most boring fighters by far in MMA as well as Machida.

[TheNaturalRush28]

@ballsoffury4 boring. I guess thats why he got fight of the night like 2 times u fuckin dumbass

[ballsoffury4]

@TheNaturalRush28

Only two KO, thats weak for a champion nuff said. Shut the fuck up Mrs. Edgar

[LilBlitz116]

i watch fighters very closely 2 c if they use the form and all when they punch and they never do in real fights

[andyyang3]

@LilBlitz116, that's cos' its in real time haha

[ufckilla44]

@MNMNMN1993

I hope you learn how to spell.

[DntlB]

If BJ Penn can ground Edgar and turn it into a BJJ match then he can win but idk if he will get another shot anytime soon

[MrDeadeyes]

@DntlB Depends how well he does at 170.

[JesusMusic93]

@DntlB nope, in fact BJ Penn will never be the Lightweight champion ever again... he said he will stay at welterweight and hopes to be the champion ... he is fighting Jon Fitch and whoever wins will take on the winner of George St. Pierre vs Jake Shields.

[normalnamesplz]

he does look like he consumed a whole meth lab

[stratocaster1986able]

Good job Frankie. everybody thought that first win over BJ was a fluke but you showed them who is champ. Now you need to prove that loss to maynard was a fluke.

[jas108]

@stratocaster1986able bj tried to beat edgar at his own game which was striking.bad move cuz bj got dominated twice.its gonna be tougher against maynard cuz he is a wrestler and will be looking to lay n prey and edgar is a striker.so if he takes edgar down he will shut down his strong point.whoever wins,we all kno this fight is gonna go to judges lol

[felipearce100]

by physical apperance, is hard to belive that this is the best 155er in THE WORLD!

[shymoneykid]

Frank meet that raper shy money i got pic frank meet shy money the raper

[streetfightermatt]

hahaha gotta love youtube gurus/trolls thinking they know their shit... Self Help lesson videos by professionals like this one, should have comments banned on them

[ThePhoenix1965]

Oh, this brings back so many memories.I didn't get my Blackbelt in MMA & Thai kickboxing until I was 41.I've been sidelined due to injuries,but Frankie has inspired me to get back into this sport.,I believe, if you truly love martial arts,it never really leaves you,but thanks Frankie..you are a true inspiration.!!!

[pieceofparadox]

lol he teaches you how to do muay thai knees.

All the guy does is seek decisions.

[docbach329]

@pieceofparadox

if you can fight bj penn and win by decision twice, then please. make a youtube video and enlighten all of us on how it is done.

[pieceofparadox]

@docbach329 stfu moron

[docbach329]

@pieceofparadox

you waste all your time on the internet arguing and thats the best insult you can come up with?

looser of the decade....

[briky7126]

@pieceofparadox you do know that these guys are professionals right? These guys arnt backyard youtube fighters, there trained fighters that do this for a living. With that said they have completely surpassed you when it comes to thinking when fighting. If your in there n all your thinking about is to "knock" the guy out then im afraid your still an ameture, still a street fighter there no professionalism in that at all. A knock out is just a bonus to a game plan. Dont talk shit again.

[pieceofparadox]

@briky7126 faggot noob

[briky7126]

@pieceofparadox that all you got dude...hahaha dont shame yourself online.

[13too13]

@pieceofparadox wow, and ure the one searching online, this guy is a professional and you call him a "noob" wich is an online insult for new, he has had years in doing this so before you try to insult someone's video, make it work, and back to my point, who is the one searching it online? think aout it.

[pieceofparadox]

@13too13 Guy's a faggot.

[ChistaEnjoi]

@pieceofparadox say it to his face

[hijituso]

frankie is a litle machine the way that he dominates bj penn on the second fight he has a complete package well rounded real champion

[WestfieldK]

His sound effects are funny, anyway nice tips thumbs up!

[HelsinkiXdrunkcore]

hobbit's ain't nuthin' to fuck with

[k3nd4lll]

Is he actually slipping his head while he punches, or is his head movement just coming from the rotation of the hips?

[ApeShallNevaKillApe]

@k3nd4lll lol its just hip rotation

[k3nd4lll]

@ApeShallNevaKillApe ok thanks man ;D, im a wrestler/bjj guy brand new to striking =p

[ApeShallNevaKillApe]

@k3nd4lll no worries gl

[HeIIoHater]

go midgets!

[hecjr82]

i believe he joined the hair club for man cause 2 years ago you could tell he was going bald in the front.. now he has noticably alot of front hair

[jessenielsen162]

@MarcusDomable its because he couldnt keep up with edgars pace! you dont get to that level of an athlete and not care bout winning!

[CSMixedMartialArts]

frankie doing it for the short guys, i was skeptical at first but bro you are beast.

[BreezyGamer101]

This won't save you from BJ Penn

[michaelchimique]

@BreezyGamer101 thats what everyone said the first time and look what happened then

[turnbacktime]

@BreezyGamer101 lol really?

[BreezyGamer101]

@turnbacktime Lmao boy was I wrong

[Dragoncannon4]

Penn better up his speed because Edgar will tire him apart

[tldevilsh]

hahaha frankie lovers came out of the closest for real i pulled for frankie to win first but now I'll root for my boy BJ nothing but love from korea all the way to canada baby

[xolloy01]

I love the answer. I was going for him in his first match with Blow J*b "P4P Best Whiner&Excuse Seeker" Pinus. I just saw UFC 118 Preview and Bl*w J*b Pinus trashed Frankie so much. Go destroy him Frankie! at least you train hard and are respectful enough to come in shape to go full rounds. HATE BJ PENN

[Fourtyb4five]

@xolloy01 LOL BJ's gonna destroy frankie.

[tobtob123]

@Fourtyb4five Just like in their last fight? lol. Frankie taught BJ a lesson. Hes too quick and i see the same thing happening again this weekend, win by unanimous decision. Don't get me wrong though BJ obviously has a chance of catching Frankie but i don't see it happening.

[ALEdoublebackflip]

@Fourtyb4five really?

[choleetoh]

@Fourtyb4five i mustv missed that part last night

[RENEIND]

i like this guy hes got insane cardio

[shooter246123]

@MarcusDomable Stop talking to me! You're soooo dumb it's a joke....I'll tell you what if you can get through a full statement without misspelling a word and using correct grammer or even not call me a name you have my respect and I'll try to listen to you; (that's called a semi-colon lol) however I don't think you can.

[shooter246123]

@MarcusDomable I'm sick of you! It's like kicking a dead horse with you.

[shooter246123]

@MarcusDomable So I still think that is dumb. Just listen to what you are telling me. Example, if I survive a shark attack did I win the fight or even come close? Cause what you are saying is I fucked that animal up. Now think of at least rewording what you said or just take an english/writing class for your own benefit, because bro you're a fool! LOLLOL GOT IT LOLOLOL

[shooter246123]

@MarcusDomable Who are you? lol. Seriously I told you not to respond with something dumb. So you think if Penn doesn't submit or ko/tko contenders the UFC will take his title? Listen to yourself....and you say I'm retarded? Either grow up, leave me alone, get more intelligent, or stop being a fan....GOT IT LOLOLOLOL

[shooter246123]

@MarcusDomable But he did...sooo where you coming from? the only thing sad is your discredit. And please don't respond with your opinions about the fight because I saw it and also think Penn should still have the title I just don't like your attitude...GOT IT!

[TrueGreatness73]

he didnt beat bj penn but its all good. The score will be settled.

[dontel2009]

frankie edgar is a beast

[reporter]

best boxing? i think he has one of the quckest hand and good foot work but i dont no if he knock anybody out??

[shooter246123]

@reporter So when does knocking someone out have anything to do with boxing? If you like Mayweather (I don't) he almost never ko's anyone but he is considered pound 4 pound behind Pacquiao...if you want ko's keep watching Kimbo's street fights.

[reporter]

@shooter246123 yea your right on that one dude Lol

[happykid323]

This kid has one of the best boxing games in MMA.

[superfatttyfatboy]

akay...

[944kiddo]

myy boy!!!

[MrCelebsxxx]

this was the worst ufc yet that i have watched. if you want to see the replay go to mmaweekly org/ufc112

[dargarin]

Congrats Frankie on your UFC World Light Weight Title win againt BJ Penn. You make Jersey proud!

[Homage808]

@dargarin proud?..shit even if bj won like that hawaii wouldnt be proud of dat shit..we call dat weary
