I’m not sure what the betting odds are set at but I’m thinking that its pretty much a lock that James Toney’s interview segments from the UFC 118 countdown show that premiers tonight will include closed captioning. Apparently even Chael Sonnen can’t understand anything that comes out of Toney’s mouth and he figured out Portugese from an iPhone application in an afternoon.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that his trash talk on the show will include a bunch of insults towards Randy about how "he’s no legend" and he’ll fill in the remainder of his segment by talking about how great he is, how he’s going to "turn Randy’s lights out" and by referring to Couture at every turn as "princess."

The spotlight should belong to B.J. Penn and Frankie Edgar at UFC 118, where the two will be facing off in a rematch to determine the UFC lightweight champion. But as the event moves closer, much of the intrigue has centered around boxer-turned-MMA fighter James Toney, who makes his octagon debut against five-time UFC champ Randy Couture on the same night.

Unlike some MMA purists though, Penn is unbothered by the presence of the pugilistic great. In fact, the laid-back Hawaiian is one of the few in the MMA world who’s openly voiced a desire to see Toney perform well.

Reflective and Determined B.J. Penn Out to Prove He’s Still Got It

With age comes wisdom, but if you’re a pro athlete, it also comes with aches, pains and the beginning of the realization that your career is closer to its end than beginning.

B.J. Penn is not old in any sense of the word. If you’re a longtime MMA fan, Penn seems practically ancient, yet he’s just 31. During a UFC 118 conference call, though, Penn voiced the type of self-reflection that is rarely seen in the macho world of MMA. Noting his desire to re-take his place at the top of MMA lightweight landscape, Penn explained his motivation in a way you’d rarely hear from someone with a resume like his.

“I’m the guy who doesn’t want to let the sport pass him by,” said Penn, who will square off with division champion Frankie Edgar in Boston on Aug. 28. “I want to stay in the forefront. I’m constantly up trying to think of how to tweak things, to keep up with these young kids. I know he’s near my age but he’s young in the sport, and I want to keep up with these guys.”

BJ Believes Edgar’s Cornermen Persuaded the Judges He Won and that Frankie Ran from Him the Whole Fight

(Stay still and let me hit you, you Kalib Starnes wannabe fight avoiding wuss.)

We haven’t seen or heard much from BJ Penn leading up to his UFC 118 rematch with Frankie Edgar, which either means he’s been humbled a bit from the loss or he’s too busy training to talk to the media.

Well, the former UFC lightweight champion jumped back into the limelight with a bang this week, quashing the notion that losing to Edgar knocked him down a peg or two.

In a promo video for the August 28 show, Penn said that Edgar’s corner helped persuade the judges that the New Jersey native won the fight and that Frankie did nothing but run from him for 25 minutes during their fight in Abu Dhabi at UFC 112 back in April.

"He’s running around. Just step up and fight. And then I see his whole team run and pick him up. All your boys put you on their shoulders and dance you around in front of the judges and try to steal the victory. I’m not gonna be a part of that," Penn said. Whatever, man. That’s the man you are. You’re the "ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPION?" Okay. I got you. It’s a joke."

Antonio McKee Wagers MMA Career on MFC 26 Title Bout Not Going to Scorecards

("You see these? I’m gonna beat you without even hitting you with them. THAT’S how good I am.")

If we’ve learned anything in the past couple years, it’s not to believe fighters when they say, "If I , I will retire."

Maybe we need to institute another Cage Potato ban.

According to Maximum Fighting Championship lightweight champion Antonio McKee, his claim is different than those of guys like CroCop, Kurt Pellegrino, Quinton Jackson, Juanito Ibarra (I know he’s not a fighter, but I’m still pissed off that he welched on his retirement) and Georges St-Pierre as he claims he’s serious when he says he will walk away from the sport if his September 10 MFC 26 bout in Brandon, Manitoba with Luciano Azevedo goes to the judges’ scorecards.
