if penn was in 5 round shape...round 3 doesn't happen the way it went...it woulda been hughes continuing to struggle for the takedown...

You said it yourself, if penn was in 3 round shape. He wasn't! He wasn't prepared. Title fights are 5 rounds for a few different reasons...
It wasn't a 2 round fight! It was 5, and Penn only made it through 3. Matt Hughes Dominated him by beating him into a referee stopage in the 3rd of 5 rounds. You can do what ifs all day. What if BJ Penn had super powers, he would have ripped him in half... Hughes won, stopped the fight... period, no controversy there

you just wanna see it your way...i know the fight is 5 rounds and i know hughes won convincingly in the third round...he did nothing in round 1 or 2 to be able to say he dominated the whole fight
