He's only 22 years old, so he also will have many more opportunities to break that record again. Great espn talk too. Imagine...30 miles an hour! I don't even know if I bike that fast!

I'm wondering why BJ doesn't shoot for the legs as much as he used to? With the double threat of boxing and jujitsu, he nailed Machida harder than I've ever seen him hit. He literally snapped Machida's head back with a few punches. With Machida's rise, I don't think he'd be able to do that anymore; still, I think that double threat could make people think twice when fighting BJ. Cung Le is an awesome fighter, but he may be getting ready to retire. I'll bet anything that if Le-Silva took place, Silva would be trying to do a jujitsu game. Cung Le is just too good of a striker.

I'd say he finds grappling with big sweaty men to be rewarding in more ways than one! Am I the only one who noticed the unsightly bulge in the dude’s tights?

The GSP fight really woke him up. He looked really good physically and they talked about his totally new, and amped up training. He's always relied too much on his natural talents and ego, but now he's putting in work to maintain his name and move forward. Talent isn't everything. Hard work can make up for a lot of lack of talent. By the way didn't he hold titles at 3 different weight classes in his career? As for Silva, I would like to see Cung Le or Okami get another shot at him. Yes, yes I know Okami is a boring fighter but so what...he gets the job done. Okami is like the stereotypical Asian worker who doesn't get the promotion or raise because he's not self promoting enough, flashy enough, or outgoing enough. Is the real world that much different from the entertainment world of fighting sports? Cung Le vs. Silva would be awesome. If they keep it to stand up, Cung Le would hold his own. Ground game might be different. But anyways, Cung Le is movie action star wannabe these days, so I think his serious fighting days are done. His last fight was March of 2008 of something against Frank Shamrock. Yeah, BJ Penn is the man. The GSP fight really woke him up.
