BJ Penn looks solid at the UFC pre-weigh in

May

In a story from UFC.com, Micheal DiSanto says:

Sherk, who could double for the Energizer Bunny any day, certainly hopes Penn shows up in less than stellar shape, because his game plan will be to take down Penn early, start taxing Penn’s cardio with a conservative ground and pound attack and wait for the tank to read “EMPTY.” That is a good game plan in a three-round fight. It is an exceptionally effective game plan in a five-round fight, unless Penn shows up in tremendous cardiovascular shape.

I just watched the pre-weight in videos from UFC.com and grabbed these screen shots of BJ Penn:

BJ Penn looks like he is in great shape. Sean Sherk is going to have his hands full.
