BJ Penn dosen't think Edgar deserves the belt

Former UFC Lightweight Champion BJ Penn said in a recent UFC-released promo for UFC 118 that he does not feel Frankie Edgar deserves to be champion following there bout at UFC 112.

"He's running around," said Penn. "Just step up and fight. And then I see his whole team run and pick him up. All your boys put you on their shoulders and dance you around in front of the judges and try to steal the victory. I'm not gonna be a part of that. Whatever, man. That's the man you are. You're the Ultimate Fighting Champion? Okay. I got you. It's a joke."

"I'm not afraid to exchange with him in any way," said Penn. "I don't think he wants to exchange with me. He's going to be running around. He's just going to try to jazz up what he did last time. A little quicker, a little better, maybe throw in a little kick. His corner, they don't have much to work with. They've just got little Frankie Edgar. They don't have the knockout king or the submission king. They've just got Frankie Edgar."

Penn is one of the most accomplished lightweights in the sport and is widely considered to be one of the best pound-for-pound competitors to ever fight in Mixed Martial Arts. Tune in on August 28th to see two of the best lightweight MMA fighters in the world battle for the top spot again at UFC 118: Edgar Vs. Penn II.
