UFC Quick Quote: BJ Penn would 'annihilate' Kimbo Slice

atta boy Dana

gotta say i agree, standing or on the ground BJ would win

You know where i stand, anybody, anytime. (now that hes in shape and serious)

Dana, even though I agree, you have once again taken the low road. You’re a great businessman, but a LOUSY spokesperson for the UFC. Sometimes it’s better to stay quiet and be thought a d*ck, than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt. Or something like that. lol

I wish Dana would stop sitting on the fence and tell us what he REALLY thinks.

At this point I think Dana is doing his competition a favor. To mention Kimbo and BJ in the same sentence is an insult to BJ. And it just gives Kimbo publicity that he does not deserve (according to MMA purists). Bad move, Dana.

hahahahahahahaha, kimbo would kill bj, he’d knock him out with 1 punch, and it wouldn’t even have to connect, lol, bj could half ass block the punch and kimbo would still knock him out. he couldn’t come anywhere near taking kimbo down, lil bj might shoot for a leg, but kimbo would just pick him up one handed and power bomb him or something. dana’s wrong about that and he’s wrong about “nobody cares about kimbo”, bs, there’s probly gonna be 1 million people watch cbs just to see kimbo

Truth

I did like the comment about Thompson getting knocked out before he even enters the cage. Sometimes I’ve wondered if the guy will accidentally knock himself out when he does all that flailing around during his introduction.

The reason I think its a stupid comment is Dana is not wiling to back his comment up. Talk all you want if your willing to back it up, but he’s not willing to let BJ go fight Kimbo, so he ought to just keep his mouth shut. If I thought BJ could whip Kimbo and said it in public, then I’d let him go give it a shot. Don’t see Dana doing that.

BJ Penn is actually a fan of Kimbo.

Anyone who’s a fan of BJ should check out this game. You can box Sean Sherk as BJ Penn! It’s pretty funny.

Lets not forget that BJ has ventured into igher weight classes with mixed success. He couldn’t beat Machida who fights at 205, so why would he have success with a much larger Kimbo?

Quite frankly I’m sick of everyone hopping on the BJ band-wagon. Everyone remembers the last two fights where he was dominant, but lets not forget the BJ Penn that came out of shape and got out-worked and out-classed by GSP and Hughes. He still has something to prove to me.

And why does everyone hate Kimbo? Sure he’s fought cans.. no doubt, but these are his first few fights. With Bas Rutten’s tuteledge and his undeniable physical endowments Slice could be threat down the road. Right now its just too early to tell.

i would pay money to see that fight

I hope Dana realizes that directly addressing whatever he thinks about EliteXC’s fighters is offering them validation and even more buzz. He’s playing right into their game.

The UFC can’t stand that times are changing, deal with it!

hahah, come on now.. why is dana talking about things like this, who the f does this guy think he is… i would pay to see Dana White vs Kimbo.. he shouldn’t go around and disrespect other fighters.. this guy needs to come down to earth, people are starting to realize that this guy is a complete idiot and full of himself and “his” company UFC..

HATTER! Kimbo’s doing his thing why dose every body keep taking shoots at him he is a humble guy just trying to make it in this game he’ll tell you himself the guy has two fights everyone wants says o if he fights this guy or this guy he’ll get killed mean while the other people have been fighting and training for 10-15 years Dana just jealous of any one thats making money

i like watching elite xc they do have some fighters, with that being said if they did get bankrupt i hope dana grabs some talent, they need lawler back, grab brett rodgers and silva, grab shields

this guy needs to stop making comments in media.. is he trying to get his own fan club or what? when is he going to start making comments about BJ beating hw’s in the UFC..

"The amount of talent and fights we put on are second to none."

Can someone send Dana a copy of the “UFC 85: Bedlam” card and a copy of the “Affliction: Banned” card? Thanks.

well theres only 1 way to find out! LOL!!

“The amount of talent and fights we put on are second to none”

Dunno Dana, the affliction card is looking pretty hot!

I wish he would stop with the tunnel vision. If he were to co promote then we would have all the big fights we hoped for when UFC bought Pride.

The Affliction card is going to be one of the best ever.

WOW…Dana is such a dickhead… Why does he care so much about Kimbo?

BOXING MATCH…DANA vs KIMBO!!!!!!

knocked out before he got into the cage, lol. That’s awesome.

Yeah, it’s a good article. Dana White talks a lot but speaks the truth sometimes.

Later in the article he talks about cross promotions and that there is no chance in hell it would happen!

And often, through the media, the smaller companies express their interest to do a co-promotion with the heavy-handed, cash-machine UFC, not just for money but to see which organization has the better talent.

White brushes off the propositions and sees it as just an opportunity for the smaller, less-exposed organizations to ride the UFC’s success.

“[B]Why would I cross promote with other companies? They have nothing[/B],” White said. “They have no fighters, no credibility. I would never cross promote. What for? We have the best fighters.”

Penn via flying armbar.

Shut your hole and book the fight Dana! Put your money where your mouth is and get some outside fighters to prove the UFC is the big kid on the block.
I think BJ could take a shot from Kimbo and live, but Kimbo on the ground would tap quicker than the F bomb coming out of Dana’s mouth.
After this card what will Elite XC do? Will they have Kimbo fight every televised card? Kimbo is just hype!

I know B.J. is an extremely talented fighter, and I am the furthest thing from a Kimbo fan, but some of the B.J. love is a bit too strong in here. There is no chance in hell that B.J. could ever beat Kimbo standing. Kimbo does have some boxing skills, and hits hard. Not to mention the 75 lb. weight advantage. I do think B.J. could submit him, but lets be reasonable, he isn’t going to knock Kimbo out.

Does anyone really care if Affliction only has this show? Even if it is a one and done situation it was still an awesome card that Dana could say absolutely about. There will always be people willing to pay top $ to put on a big fight. The UFC will never dominate everyone. There will always be competion no matter how small. Affliction did an excellent job signing up some amazing fights. If AA signs on, then it has a better HW card than the UFC can put on. Let’s just enjoy it for what it is. An awesome event.

I think Kimbo is too big, strong for BJ…. I mean Pennis bad ass, but if he gets caught with a flush punch. It just might be burrito-dreaming time.

AMEN Spider Style, Amen.

Dana White galore @ mens fitness. Theres couple articles. How he came up, his work out, and his diet. lol

Why doesn’t Dana just fight Kimbo? Oh yeah, he’s busy running his mouth and throwing out names of UFC fighters. He needs to write his checks with his own ass instead of somebody else’s

I completly agree but dana isnt man enough to cross promote so we will never know!! so dana just shut up until you willing to put somthing together

Penn > Kimbo

Dana is right. Kimbo is a farce!! Just goes to show u how far off the other organizations are when they have to promote a guy who can’t fight MMA. Affliction looks good but will not last 2 more shows. Not when your paying Fedor 1 million a fight, which is why Dana has said right now the money to pay fighter’s is not there. UFC is still around because they know what they are doing. Just see how long Affliction lasts.

I dont know guys anyone can be beaten. Can you imagine a punch from Slice to BJs Dome. Really he would be rocked, Slice would just simply have to play it by ear. Is he out, then beat em. Is he mildly wobbled if so stay away and keep it up.

I dont know what you guys think Penn is made of. We will see how he does vs Sherk before we start doing some knee bending.

As much as I think Kimbo is a spaz on the net (old days) I think its only a matter of time and him and Brock will be locking horns say (3 yrs).

Oh no please dont tell me everyone thinks BJ would beat Lesnar…

i think dana white would honestly beat kimbo in a boxing match.. he is an ex boxer and from what i see kimbo isnt that great just good fanbase… bj would submit him in 30 seconds easily

Dana is usually full of Sh%t.

BUT HE’S GOT THIS ONE 100% correct.

Sounds like Dana really just wants to test his boxing skills against Kimbo.

if bj could stand with lyoto machida for 3 full rounds, whos striking is hundreds of light years ahead of kimbos in ALL ASPECTS DONT EVEN THINK OF DISAGREEING WIT ME ON THIS PEOPLE. He will easily get the better of Kimbo in all areas of the game. I would be laughing so fucking hard when BJ puts Kimbo on his back and his punching and elbowing the fuck out of his face. His face would have so many gashes and deep cuts evry1 wud start calling him Kimbo Sliced

Dana may be right or wrong but what the hell he’s bringing up BJ for, BJ has no part of this he’s not even heavyweight and the fight will never happen so what’s the point bringing this up for Dana? Shut the hell up and deal with your own business Dana you only own 10% of the UFC and quit actin like you own UFC and talkin shit to other fighters and you’re not even an mma fighter once so shut up. BJ probaly thinkin “what the hell Dana bringin me up in this for, i don’t no part of this nobody tells me what to do.” if you don’t like Kimbo then go up to his face and say it you pussy, if you’re not a pussy then fight him in the cage.

BJ is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. But he’s 155 and Kimbo is 250. Kimbo ain’t as good, but that size and strength would have him win. No doubt.

And Dana’s a dumbass. “Fedor isn’t a top 5 heavyweight.” REally? Who beats him? Nog?
