I think in his fight against BJ Penn, Joe Daddy showed he can survive. How many fighters can say they were able to take Penn from mount back to guard. If it wasn't for the blood I do not think Penn would have submitted Joe Daddy. I think Penn still would have won, but it would have been by TKO or something like that. Pellergrino was killing Diaz and that fight was really close to being stopped in the first. Joe Daddy has a similar style and is a much better GnPed then Pellergrino, so I think Joe would stop Diaz in the 2nd via GnP.
Even though he lost to Penn, Joe is still probably the 3rd best LW in the UFC, right ahead of Florian and right behind Penn and Sherk.
