So this is my first FanPost so I'll be brief.  Full Disclosure, I am a terrible writer, and have a piss poor command of the english language...

To start, I'm a total BJ fan.  He was the first fighter that I really bought into the hype for.  He came, he saw he conquered, for quite a while.  The Prodigy,  one of the few times the nickname fit.  His win loss record isn't the best by just looking at it, but then you look a little bit closer.  Before Frankie Edgar, the only guy to beat BJ twice was GSP and I feel like BJ won the first fight, but that's not really the point, those fights were at 170.  The other losses were Hughes, Machida and Pulver.  All legends or fights outside 155.  The first guy that I realised had the total package.  Then came "The Answer"  (who's nickname fits oddly enough) Who had the perfect gameplan and strategy it seems (styles make fights is an old boxing adage that just doesn't get used enough), just out speed the patient counterstiking approach of BJ and not be (too) afraid of the JJ.  If it would have been a closer fight I'd probably be making excuses, BJ needs a new camp or some other such bullshit (I do think he would have more success if he'd use his JJ more, but building the takedowns necessary to get the wrestlers to their backs is probably not going to happen, again not the point of the post, but ya know) .  The reality is that Edgar dominated BJ.  It's like finding out that Santa is just an anagram for Satan, the Easter Bunny is just a guy in a suit and Sham Wows don't really work.  Not much else to say.  I'm gonna go cry now

So I guess I'll just go ahead and say Thanks for being the first guy in the UFC that I thought was the absolute shit, you went against their pay policies before the internet had an anti Zuffa bias, you always fight to fight, not to win a decision, and you are just one Tough Mother Fucker that will fight anyone, anytime, any weight.   Respect to one of the alltime greats that I believe is getting written off too soon.
