Manny Pacquiao vs BJ Penn... Modified MMA Rules

[El Chicano]

One minute timeout on the ground... After one minute on the ground, they get put back on their feet... 5, three minute rounds... UFC gloves in the Octagon.

[Carpe Diem]

I would like to see Manny fight George Saint Pierre. Pierre has already defeated BJ Penn.

Pac by KO on the first minute.=)

[Fighting Marine]

Why would Pacquiao even fight in MMA??? ****ing disgrace of a sport....MMA doesn't deserve someone as credible and great as Pacquiao.....MMA should stick to signing people from WWE

Not that this would ever happen, but BJ could definitely tap Manny within the 1 minute timeframe.

That said though, if Manny did in fact prove able to defend the submissions, he would more than likely catch BJ at some point on their feet.

It could go either way really, I mean lets think this through. If they fight under the rules the OP has stated, and If the first minute of each rounds its gonna be on the ground then I would say BJ would be more then capable of making the pacman tap within the first 30 seconds...hell even less. On the other hand if the first two minutes are standing then Pacman would have to start aggressive(as he ever). But that doesnt mean that BJ will be a pushover, he is more than capable of standing his ground with his boxing.

My prediction:

BJ takes this one due to the fact that is not just a boxing match, there will be leg kicks(wich are Boxer killers), knees during clinches, submission holds etc. An more importantly, and Im talking from personal experience here since I actually practice BJJ. The ground game is really really exhausting and even though Manny has great cardio, he'll find himself in a whole different scenario here. It would be like taking a polar bear out of the ice and into the desert.

PS:

Regarding the "he should fight GSP instead" GSP would neutralize Pacman's standup game like he does with every other fighter and once they are on the ground, Pac would get manhandled.
