I would like to ask his opinion on the remarks made that he squandered his talent.

The only people that don’t like B.J. are the fans of someone he beat up.

BJ Penn is a phenominal fighter, worthy of a top 3 ranking in any promotion. His biggest enemy is, of course, himself. The man needs to forget about “destiny” and his overblown sense of entitlement and train like his life depends on it. Then, and only then will he realize his true potential.

So sayeth I.

yeah i think BJ is the best 155 in the world….i think if he trains hard enough to make 155 weight, he will work himself into shape….hes the best all around fighter at 55, and would take any pride guy, Gomi, Mach, any of them..I do think his toughest comp would be sherk just because of the styles, but BJ is a better fighter…You gotta realize BJ is a rich kid, hes beeen rich all his life, and probably grew up believing his shit dosent stink and he deservses stuff without working for it..i dont think it will be his down fall at 55, hes just to talented..but it was his downfall at ww

nice post Dude, good points – I personally feel that where he is from has alot to do with it too. Hawai"i is definately paradise, I could only imagine how tough it would be to concetrate on hard core training while living there. Especially how “naturally” gifted BJ is already.

haha yeah i remember before the first matt hughes fight…they showed footage of matt hughes running all bundled up in the snow, up hills and stuff….then they showed BJ training on the beach…Matt hughes commented on BJ not training hard and not dealing with climate and stuff like that…and then it went to Bj and all he said “Yeah i know, Im not stupid”

haha it was actually pretty funny…I dont think fighters need to kid themselves and believe that they need to go train Big Bear for everyfight…but somewhere in there is a happy median

i kinda think sherk wouldnt be able to handle bj. i mean look at how he handled hughes, hughes didnt touch him until he broke his ribs. even if sherk managed to get him down i would rather stand and take his punches then be anywhere near the ground with that guy

what song is that

who was b.j’s lost to before GSP.

B. fuckin J. Penn is master of future welterweight disaster!

I cant get enough of BJs mopping the floor of Gomi. He literaly does just this in the posted bout and to Storhaug I think Bj would comeout on top.

I posted this fight on here awhile ago. It is a good example of when BJ commits himself, what he’s capable of. That’s Gomi for chrissakes.
I just doubt he will ever completely commit himself to the fight game. He is a hangingout, surfing, strolling, girl-chasing, laid back dude. Training 8 hrs a day for 2 months I dont think appeals to him. But, imagine if it did….there’d be no one better.

b.j lost to jens pulver ufc 35 decision. also lost to machida in K-1 back in 05 also decision

Rob 2 things that was UFC 35 and he still won. BJ will get his redemption in November.

Well hes definitely got the best balance in mma. lol Hes almost impossible to take down, he can bounce around on one leg all over the ring.

Truth be told… BJ Penn is an incredibly talented fighter that lacks dedication for some reason. His head isn’t a 100% there anymore, and it’s sad to say the least.
No one can beat BJ Penn when his head and heart are in the game. That’s a fact!!!!

the ufc’s 170 and below weight classes will kill pride lightweights

the ufc’s 170 and below weight classes will kill pride lightweights

Does anyone know if the pride lightweight grand prix is still going to happen? Is pride really not putting on any more shows? What’s up with Gomi and Nick Diaz?

yeah pride talks about Gomi like he’s the best ever but never mention BJ beat him just like they used to do when they talked about wanderlei even though tito and vitor beat him.
