BJ Penn : I see him at -175 at 5Dimes. Is this low? How could a guy that has dominated his division, and be so good, in his prime, be this low?

Yes, I will admit I liked Florian before the line came out, but that was because I thought it would be a good price. I like Florian's game a lot and think he is the 2nd best LHW in the division, but a guy like Penn shouldn't be this low for a fight with anyone in this division. Only way I see him losing is if he comes in out of shape and has a lack of motivation. Maybe I am wrong, but Penn at -175 seems to be a great line.

Any opinions?

Penn has better subs but Florian is extremely talented there as well.

Florian has better kickboxing. Penn might be a tick better at pure boxing.

Wrestling is about even. Maybe a slight Penn edge.

Penn is a favorite because of his name but this match is pretty even. Florian is evolving quite a bit.

-175 seems about right if I were to set a line.

I really hope ken flo can win but who knows. The longer the fight goes, i think its in kennys favor. But bjs boxing is very good.

Penn had his one chance at legend status. Now he will fade away like all the other stars that helped reinvent the UFC the first half of the decade

So you are picking Florian to win?

Kennys a great guy, ive met him a few times but the OP is right.

I was shocked when i saw this line. Lauzon trained with BJ and was handling Kenny, and will win the rematch.

This line is off. Kennys only way to win is a decision. BJ has better cardio at 155 imo so I dont think he will gas out. Losing to GSP in his prime doesnt make BJ suck.

BJ -175 is a steal.

Florian to win a decision might be a good bet tho.

Penn -325 is appropriate

The Prodigy at -175 is indeed a steal. I too liked Florian, but I was hoping Florian would closer to +250.

My site has BJ -220
Kenny +180
Not so great.

Yea 5 Dimes has sent it back up to -190 but it was -175 for a couple days, still like him at anything -200 or less.
