UFC 118 Results: I think it’s pretty safe to say that the outcomes in UFC 118 Results main events were: very predictable in the Randy Couture vs James Toney fight and surprising even a day later in the UFC lightweight championship bout between Frankie Edgar and B.J. Penn. The TD Garden was the site for UFC 118 Results, which saw James Toney embarrass himself in front of the whole world, and witnessed the end of BJ Penn’s reign as the lightweight king of the world.
The Prodigy was dominated like we have never seen before. Thus, BJ Penn took a trip to the hospital after the fight, according to UFC president Dana White.
“I’m sure BJ probably went to the hospital,” White told reporters at the UFC 118 Results press conference. “BJ took some big shots tonight. BJ took some big right hands, some big left hooks, got hit to the body hard a lot, got kicked to the body hard a lot. He went down to the ground and got slammed. He absolutely dominated this guy for five rounds and BJ took a lot of shots tonight.”
So, will Frankie Edgar get the respect he deserves now that he not only beaten BJ twice, but more so, the way in which he dominated the Hawaiian. That remains to be seen. For now, the Jersey Boy is just going to enjoy the victory, as he looks to his next title-defense against Gray Maynard — who was also victorious tonight over Kenny Florian — in the near future.
“I thought I put more pressure on him,” said Edgar in his UFC 118 Results post-fight press conference. “I was able to finish some takedowns and stay on top for longer periods of time and I was able to step into my strikes more.”
It’s hard to believe how Edgar went into the Octagon and put on the most dominating performances of his career against none other than the greatest lightweight to ever live. He certainly solidified his name as the top 155-pounder in the world with that victory at UFC 118 Results.
“I think it was more important for you guys than it was for me,” Edgar said about silencing his doubters. “I go in every fight trying to win, trying to do my best and that’s all I can do. It definitely might get some of you guys off my back, that’s for sure.”
