Wow BJs thorough a** kicking of Diego produces amazing fight metric numbers!

By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief

If Deigo Sanchez's busted lip, Marvin Eastman-like gash, broken nose, bloodied ear and overall bruised and battered face weren't enough evidence of B.J. Penn's dominance over him on Saturday night, today's FightMetric report on the fight solidifies just how little Sanchez was able to do. Check out the breakdown of the striking in last night's event:




Penn outstruck Sanchez 150 to 8. Yes, you see that correctly, Sanchez landed 8 strikes throughout the entirety of the contest, while Penn landed nearly 60 power shots to the head.

Penn's dominance wasn't just clear there; in the grappling side of things, Sanchez was credited with 27 separate takedown attempts, none of which were completed.

Penn was able to avoid almost every attack from Sanchez while landing at least 6 power shots and at least 10 jabs in every round. It's simply astonishing to see those kind of numbers, but it just solidifies how far ahead of the pack B.J. is in the division.

Wow, embarassing for Diego! I got this from mmatorch.com. Sorry I can't post links, but I'm sure y'all know where to get them!

You have to give Diego some credit. He gave everything he had and he never quit.

I have plenty to say Miss Foxy

I give credit to Sanchez for not being defeated earlier, and I Give him credit, because I recognise, that whilst I dislike BJ Penn, one cannot deny his pure skills...I do think Penn should have tried harder to finish...but he finishes so many fighters...he can be forgiven for not wanting to finish, in advocacy of avoiding the takedown, or for keeping his distance through striking...clearly he would have won had the bout gone to decision. That is quite enough credit.

I dont take these fightstrike analysis to much to heart, they dont measure heart, they dont measure defence, they dont measure control...they simply measure strikes...well...you have to watch a fight to understand it, you cant just read a set of figures...

although...gotta say, Diego Sanchez does come off embarrisingly poor on the striking front

lol....BJ is the best 155lb MMA fighter in the world...but according to some of the BJ nuthuggers on here he would get destroyed at 160 or higher because he is just way to small.

Wow! I knew it was dominance, but to see the numbers.

I know that there are a lot of people on this site that don't like Penn, but the guy gave up his time....hopped on a plane and visited the Troops in Afghanistan, that says an awful lot. I even joked with him about the two mile run that our unit took him on....saying that he might have to have some help with it 'cause his cardio sucked. Faber laughed pretty hard at that one too.

BJ Penn is the best LW out there, far better than any other LW fighter that the UFC could put in the octagon with it. His issue is that he has to know that he still has to train hard and perform well in order to be successful.

Later.
