Last night's first UFC PPV in Boston proved to be a decent night of fights. The night was capped off with lightweight champion Frankie Edgar taking on challenger BJ Penn. This fight was very reminiscent of their first bout, with BJ Penn only looking for a KO and not doing much else.

Edgar kept jumping in and out of the pocket, winning nearly every exchange and leaving Penn dumbfounded over the difference in speed. It was really apparent a few rounds into the fight that The Prodigy had no idea how to handle someone who is faster than him. Usually the speed advantage goes to him, but this was not the case with the champion.

Another surprising aspect of the fight was at how many times and how effortless (it looked effortless, anyway) Edgar took Penn down. When he was on top, he neutralized his Jiu Jitsu, using his "wrestler's" control to keep Penn from pulling off a slick submission. Frankie was landing some nice, clean shots on him from the top, and working to pass his guard. It really seemed like he was looking for the finish, but Penn's Jiu Jitsu kept him at bay.

Pretty much, Frankie Edgar was all over the former champion, hitting him with some stiff jabs, hooks, uppercuts, and knees. His cardio was also through the roof, he kept the same exact pace in the 5th round as he had in the 1st. While Penn was noticeably getting more sluggish with each minute. This spelled trouble for him, as Edgar was attacking from every angle and every which way.

Frankie pulled out a unanimous decision and beat BJ Penn for the second time in a row. And to think...That Frankie Edgar was the underdog in BOTH of their bouts.

In the co-main event of the evening, long-time decorated boxing champion James "Lights Out" Toney took on the veteran Randy "The Natural Couture". This fight was marketed as UFC vs. Boxing, and the result could not have been more satisfying for the brand. The fight was up on the feet for all of 20 seconds, then Randy shot in for a single and Toney's strongest suit was neutralized.  Right away the MMAist got the full mount and started dropping fists to Toeny's face.

Couture lead the fight towards the cage, trapping Toney's head against it and just unleashing punches. James Toney placed his hands in perfect position for an arm triangle and Couture took it. Although, the angle was quite odd, and Randy seemed to be using more force than technique to try and choke him out.

Eventually, he let go of the choke and started punching him some more, then locked it in with Toney flat on his back and the tap came quickly after. Even after the tap, he was still dizzy and almost half asleep when getting up to his feet.

The fight went as many expected, and Toney had as much of a chance as many expected. It was nothing remarkable, seeing as how once it hit the ground the fight was over for the boxer. Royce showed that in UFC 1, that boxing as a discipline itself is not ideal for fighting. Now Randy Couture proved that that is still true at UFC 118 and onwards.
