Frankie Edgar: “BJ Penn Is The Most Skilled Fighter In The UFC”

Sherdog Radio recently caught up with UFC lightweight Frankie Edgar ahead of his UFC 112 title challenge against BJ Penn.

“In my eyes he’s [Penn]one of if not the most skilled fighter in the UFC. He could do it all. He’s probably one of the most well rounded. From standup to the ground, his takedown defense is second to none. His flexibility, balance, all that stuff, he’s going to be a tough nut to crack. I’m going to have my hands full for sure.”

Sounds like Edgar has a lot of respect for Penn’s abilities. But what does he predict will happen at UFC 112?

“It’s going to be in the desert. It’s going to be hot, so we’ll probably be sweating a lot. I predict a lot of sweat. How about that?”
