Penn fought a much bigger opponent, and he didn't give up. Penn takes a lot of crap for his mediocre record at WW - but the fact is - in his entire career, he's had 10 fights with guys that were MUCH bigger than he was - and he's only ever been finished twice. I love internet tough guys who talk about how these guys didn't show up - when they take a beating that people like you could never take without tapping.
