5 MMA rivalries which are as overdone as Randy Orton vs. John Cena

#2 Frankie Edgar vs. BJ Penn

Edgar never lost to Penn

Frankie Edgar seems to thrive off rivalries. It’s kind of like his jam. He has enjoyed a number of famous ones against the likes of Gary Maynard, Ben Henderson, and BJ Penn. For this entry, we’re focusing on the last one – Edgar vs. Penn.

While BJ Penn is considered one of the finest fighters in the history of the sport, he never enjoyed much success against Frankie Edgar. The Answer enjoys an impressive 3-0 record against the Prodigy which started with two back-to-back fights that went to a decision in 2010.

Edgar picked up unanimous decision victories in both those encounters before putting the final nail in this coffin in an unnecessary third fight in 2014. With Penn entering the twilight of his career, Edgar picked out a TKO victory against the veteran to put this overdone rivalry to bed.
