Would Urijah Faber beat BJ Penn?

Question

I say yes via submission.

Answer 1

no way!

Answer 2

The funny thing is Faber and Penn train together from time to time so they know how each other operates. As of right now, I don't think Faber could beat Penn. Faber needs a little more fine tuning. But, when Faber breaks into the UFC they are thinking about moving him into Penn's weightclass, because they believe he will have actual competion.

Answer 3

UHHH.... h**l NO!!!

And Alphamaletank has no clue what's he talking about. And you're an MMA fighter? You got a contract offer from one of the big promotions and turned it down? You've had 60+ fights and you're undefeated?... Like Gabe from TUF 5 said," I'm calling shenanigans!"... BJ Penn would own Faber hands down!... And if BJ fought GSP again he would not loose by "destruction". I actually believe BJ could win that fight by KO or submission.

Answer 4

nope

bj is freaking amazing on the ground

and if you've seen his last few performances... he's clearly destroying the lightweight division ... too d**n good on the ground... and wayy to powerfull for a lightweight... if he moved down to featherweight with uriah... he'd kill him... uriah is an athletic guy but penn is just on too much of a roll right now

Answer 5

no. Urijah is nowhere near BJs level. BJ's submissions are legendary. YOU CANNOT SUBMIT BJ.

Answer 6

Yes, Bj Penn is over rated in my book.And yet he is ranked on all these pound for pound lists.Faber would destroy him , and if Bj does fight GSP again he will lose by destruction.

Answer 7

You are on some good drugs my friend. BJ would destroy him standing and on the ground.

Answer 8

Very close fight.  Who would move up or down for the fight?  BJ has already lost a lot of weight to get to 155.  Remember he has fought at 170 for most of his fights.  He is skinny for 155.  Losing another 10 pounds might be worse for him. since Faber is 144.  If Faber gained 10 pounds of muscle he will be dangerous also but BJ would own him.  So If BJ moved down he would lose.  If Faber moved up HE would lose.

Answer 9

Faber was pushed to the limit to gain a victory over a past

his prime Jens Pulver.  While he is getting better, this fight did

show he has a way to go.

BJ would run through Faber at this point.  It wouldn't even be

close.

Answer 10

Via submission????

Do you know who BJ Penn is?

Answer 11

No.

They train together, and they are different weight classes. The fight wouldn't happen in the first place.

Answer 12

Faber went to Hawaii to learn from BJ Penn, he knows he is not at that level yet, tons of potential and he will move up in weight someday and probably be champ at 155.  From what I have heard regarding the training in Hilo, Bj subs whoever he wants whenever he wants when it comes to grappling.  I am a big Faber fan and used to watch his KOTC fights and GC fights live at Soboba, just not to where BJ is yet though.  Kide Yamamoto will be Fabers biggest test if they can get that fight to happen.

Answer 13

Submission?  h**l no.  He may pound him out on the ground, or there might be a chance of him striking him out, but there's no way in h**l he submits Penn.

I do think that Faber would win though
