BJ Penn blocks a Rory MacDonald kick: the young Canadian praised BJ and said the Hawaiian is not a stepping stone for his career.
What was your favorite scene from UFC on Fox 5 last night in Seattle?
Was it the Submission of the Night-winning rear-naked choke, compliments of Scott Jorgensen, a fighter who was walking tightrope in the promotion and even had to untangle himself from a triangle in the first round?
Or perhaps the weary B.J. Penn warding off blows from the young Rory MacDonald? MacDonald, who at the press conference following the event, heaped praise on the Hawaiian legend.
“It was a great opportunity for me in my career,” MacDonald said. “But you can’t call BJ a stepping stone. He’s not a stepping stone.”
Could the image of the night go to Ben Henderson’s masterful takedowns on the challenger Nate Diaz?
Or the chance — one of few — Mauricio Shogun had at surprising Alex Gustafsson on the ground in the fight that served as wind under the Swede’s wings?
