He’s producing his own show now? This guy is too busy being a hollywood diva to train properly. Suicide hotlines will be packed busy on the 24th by BJ nuthuggers when they see he’s not even close to being in GSP’s class. Sorry AdamG and Kev.

F@$#@^g egotistical, spoilt, ass kissed (DON’T KNOW WHY???)little cry baby who has no idea what good sportsmanship is, let alone how to be a man and except defeat whith honor.
Sure was fun though…LMFAO…watching his corner throw the towel in cause BJ Baby didn’t want to go back out. His corner did what he didn’t have the balls to do himself….tapout!!!!!!!!!!! like a real fighter would do, or pass out, whichever came first….not the TOWEL!!!!….BITCH

What else could he say in his future blogs thanks for the fan support, I’m training harder than ever, I’ll beat gsp blah blah blah. One blog every couple of weeks would be better at least he’d have something to say. This fight should have happened in december gsp fought in august giving him plenty of time to rest and train and penn has had much more time. This card looks really good I just hope it lives up to its hype, which I think it will.

by nathan on Dec 7, 2008 12:47 PM EST reply actions  

seriously, this fight is long overdue and both guys have had plenty of time to train… this is why we get crap cards like fight night for the troops, and the ultimate finale, because the belts are held up for so long! in my opinion, BJ should have defended against kenny florian at ufc 88 or 89, then GSP/Penn at UFC 92 or 93, ad not have a HUGE layover in the lightweight division from UFC 84 all the way till UFC 94, and after that itll be at least UFC 98 or 99 before the belt is defended again… give me a break

i wish i had esp like you. you know that the tuf finale and the fight for the troops are gonna be crap before they even happen? awesome! you do know that these events are free so you dont have to invest any money by taking a “big” chance by watching them. i wouldn’t watch an mma event if i knew they were going to be crap before they happened, but i dont have esp like you do, so im stuck with having to watch them before i pass judgement. lol.

He subbed Hughes in the rubber Match and he’s a black belt. He even has mor submission victiories than BJ. That being said GSP won’t sub BJ. I have no idea who’s gonna win this fight. Both guys are so good and there are so many intangables. I’m leaning toward GSP, but it’s just like flipping a coin.

Not to mention he didnt have any of the size, reach, and strength advatages that GSP had against Hughes, moving up in weight to 170 for his first WLWT fight, for a belt, agaisnt a 6 time defending champ, thought to be unbeatable at the time. Hes mounted Renzo and Rodrigo, im sure Gomi has a decent BJJ rep as far as belts go, Serra is a black belt he beat but not subed, Joe stevenson was a black belt that he subed though, to answer your question, JOE STEVENSON. So like , less than a year ago he subed a black belt, right . . .?

with your over inflated ego, your days are done…be a champ and not a chump..defend your title, stop fu*king up the LW division with your delusions of grandeur

From a MMA that once was a huge BJ Penn fan but his ego and the fact he has NOT defended his title since April (probally be a year or more till he DOES defend it!) has turned me off.

Its not aboot GSP, its aboot the fact that Penn has lost sight of the sport itself…

I mean if hes talking about from the exact day he faught sherk then ok, but he makes it seems as he crys that its a year from now. And either way, hes fighting GSP in between!!! So who cares about fighting Kenny, thats all defending it is, fighting Kenny, he will, but Georges first. BJ had to wait 2 years for GSP, almost 3, the least Kenny can do is wait6 months from his last fight, id think he would want that long to train for Penn anyway, i dont hear him complaining. No matter what heppes, you guys will still find a reason to hate Penn, “hes too fast, i cant even see him, im noy paying my hard earned money to not even see the guy!!” BJ BJ BJ!!!

I predict with fight won’t be all that different than serra/gsp 2 with it lasting longer maybe a couple more rounds with penn being much more challenging than serra. I see gsp using the same game plan he used on serra making the fight very physical, tiring penn out. Penn is more flexable than serra but as far as bjj goes serra’s no slouch and couldn’t even come close to doing anything to gsp. Penn did squat also in there first fight except the sub attempt at the end of round three trying to trap gsp’s arm which he easily got out of. Gsp’s a blackbelt now subbing him is pretty unlikely in an MMA fight, this isn’t a bjj match with a gi on. The only way I see penn subbing gsp is if he rocks him first, gsp’s top control is too good IMO.

by nathan on Dec 7, 2008 1:29 PM EST reply actions  

LoL, like Serra 2, are you serious dude, but longer, so Penn tak3es a beating for 3 rounds in your book huh. George couyldnt even keep a tired Penn down last time, how is he gonna treat him like Serra? And BJ has never been taken down in the first round, and rarely in the 2nd. Come on! BJ BJ BJ!!! I see it like Penn/GSP1 first round . . . but longer.

I’m canadian “canadian buddha” but make some sense.

by nathan on Dec 7, 2008 1:31 PM EST reply actions  

make sense of what?..
I have followed MMA since 1991 and seen the sport evolve into what the UFC and Zuffa have made it today..NO RANKING SYSTEM, blatant disregard for fighters regardless of skill or contractual obligations…I have seen Zuffa put together WWE style match ups for the sole purpose of taking our hard earned money

as for Penn, he is a lame champ that has not really done much in the last few years…
his ego has caused the amazing LW division to be stagnant which is not fair for the guys below him….(that being said, BJ inntends to defend both belts IF he wins…so what does that do to 2 divisions now waiting for the great BJ Penn to take this fight or that fight…WAHHH Dana I wanna fight this guy instead)

He had accomplished alot but his ‘how great I am attitude’ is getting in the way of being a fighter..

I was one of the first 500 people to join BJ Penn.com but his lack of sportsmanship, licking blood off his gloves and NOT defending his title makes him the P4P Chumpion, si its nice he is educating people to MMA but the main focus of his website is to promote HIMSELF!! oh how great I am..what a joke!
again this just my humble opinion

for me i think gsp should defend his title against alves(assuming his fight with kos never happen cuz i thought he was the number 1 contender back then) and bj penn defend his title against kenny(the same with his fight with joe daddy… he was the number 1 contender before that) BEFORE THIS YEAR END…..AND then this guys can fight each other in 2009

by JoW on Dec 7, 2008 2:08 PM EST reply actions  

I actually agree with that point, except that if Alves beat GSP, which I believe he would, then BJ wouldn’t get his rematch with GSP after he beat K-Flo. The scenario that the UFC picked is probably better for the fans in the end, and definitely a bigger money maker. Kenflo and Thiago will definitely both get their shots eventually, so its really not a bad decision on the UFC’s part.

by --utaptout-- on Dec 7, 2008 10:50 PM EST up reply actions  

If you look at it a bit more realistically, BOTH of them could lose and it would take away a lot of the hype for GSP-BJ 2. Alves is a very dangerous opponent style wise for GSP and could beat him, why can’t BJ fans see that Kenny is just as dangerous for BJ?

by Gord on Dec 7, 2008 11:30 PM EST up reply actions  

I think Kenny does eveything that BJ does, just not quite as well. BJ’s got better jiujitsu, better striking, better wrestling, WAY better TD defense and his cardio is no longer an issue. I see Kenny as a formidable opponent for BJ, and the toughest he can face at 155, but having watched every fight in BJ’s career and almost all of Kenny’s, I can’t find any scenarios that have Flo winning. No disrespect to Kenny, as I am a big fan of his, but BJ is better than him in every area. Kenny has never faced anyone even remotely close to someone that possesses BJ’s skill set. Kenny, won’t be too much different than guys that BJ’s faced before.

ok, i know im going to be slammed on this, but why is bj considered to be way up there on the pnp list? no im not trolling but i am relatively new to mma (only getting interested at about ufc 58 i think) so i am looking for education and not an argument. i’m looking at sherdog’s fighter stats and since losing to lyoto at lhw nearly 4 years ago his recond and opponents dont seem overly impressive. much less impressive then gsp. with losses to gsp and to hughes which gsp beat twice i dont understand. i understand stats dont tell the whole story so please help me on this. also if anyone has a good link to see the first fight between the 2 could you post that as well, i only seem to find just the first round.

Renzo Gracie at MLWT isnt impressive, a little? Taking GSP to the closest decision of Georges career isnt decent. Givinh Hughes all he could handle til gassing. (All of this was while out of shape) (And all out of his natural weight class) Pulver is still a champion anyway you dice it so that makes 3 champions hes faught in 3 fights in a row. Joe was supposed to gas BJ and didnt, now hes a chump right. Joe has a record of 30 spmething wins and less then 10 losses. Hes faught Pulver, Guillard, KenFlo, BJ, Joe has something to bring to the table, no? Sherk was gonna gas and GnP Penn and didnt . . .another chump right. Sherks a champion and has over 30 wins with just 3 losses to the best only. Has faught GSP, Hughes, BJ, Diaz, Karo (twice) KenFlo, Griffin, etc and is considered to have the best cardio in the world of MMA (BJ’s weak spot, right?) Didnt matter. Plus thats what theUFC gave him man, now that he has done what they asked he is calling out and wanting to fight the best, Sherk, GSP, KenFlo, Hughes3, (He wants into the WLWT division so that also means he wants to fight= Alves, Sanches (At 155 or 170) GSP3, Fitch, Stun Gun, Swick, Karo, Yoshida, Kos . . . He wants the best from 170 and down, If Torres and Faber want a slice he’ll be happy to make their dreams come true. So please, dont speak about his record, he’s improving it with every fight, and it isnt that bad to begin with. Being the first to really beat GSP will be a huuuuuge achievment and avenge a loss so that alone will be crazy, plus 2 belts at the same time and in two tuff wieght classes in the tuffest org (UFC). Come on, i mean, COME ON. BJ BJ BJ!!!

like i said, im not arguing, i was looking for someone to give me a good reason for everyones high opinion of him. although you were a little abrasive you did come back with a compelling reason. like i said, i am relatively new to to mma and was looking to learn about him and have been trying to watch some of his older fights. thanks for the help and am still looking for a link to his and GSP’s other fight if any have it. thanks

Look for the Gomi fight, Look for the first Hughes fight, And while they might be a little mild and slower (cause hes a chubbY) the Rodrigo Gracie/Renzo Gracie fights are nice to see cause you can judge him at higher weight classes against much bigger guys. Look for Rumble on the rock for the Gomi/Rodrigo fights, Renzo was at the Hawaii 06 Grand Prix, K-1. All can be seen at BJPENN.COM or youtube.com, at BJPENN>COM they just put up the Gilbert fight, the Serra fight and the first Pulver fight, The Serra fight was the only fight that i had never seen of his, til last week. All are great, the wins, and the losses, its all a predetermined path, watch him go down it. BJ BJ BJ!!! Or GSP fights some guys at WLWT in canada and the UFC, as interesting . . . i think not = ) BJ BJ BJ!!!

His losses – Pulver-ufc lw champion, Hughes-former ww champion, Gsp- current ww champion(split decision) and Machida- future lhw champion.

He fought Machida at 205+. He beat two gracies at 185. Held the ww belt at 170. And currently is the champion at 155.

Most fighters have trouble being competitive in one weight class. BJ’s proven he can be competitive in at least 4 weight classes.

BOTTOM LINE: these are two of the best “pound for pound” fighters in the world.

We will see two unbelieveable fighters in their prime go at it. It could go either way!

I myself, am a huge fan of both. To sit here and argue one against the other to me, is senseless.

All that I hope for is that both fighters show up healthy, uninjured, and ready to fight to their fullest potential.

by allamerican on Dec 7, 2008 5:49 PM EST reply actions  

WORD TO THAT! I am a fan of GSP’s fighting skills except when it comes to the subject of BJ Penn, as many of you know. Unlike BJ haters, im not dumb enough to cheer against Georges when he fights (to me) chumps like Fitch, Serra, Kos, Its not that they are chumps, but i dont fall into the hype that they can actually hang with the likes of GSP, i know hes gonna win and hope he does (any loss by either fighter would have set this fight back by leaps and bounds and years) But BJ haters think guys like Joe Stevenson really have a shot at Penn LoL, Sherk was the first guy ive thought was decent comp for Penn in years, since the GSP/Hughes double up. It got me excited, and now they only get better. Why cheer against BJ in rediculous situations like against Pulver again, are you serious. Just wanna see him lose. To me to cheer against any of these men that are creating their legends right in front of our eys is ignorant, i want to see it all eventually, every fight combo possible, nothing against GSP, Ando or BJ. Now of course im sure you all know who i want to end up on top of that pyramid, but i want him to earn it. It started with avenging a loss, fighting Joe to get to Sherk, Sherk, GSP, KenFlo, and the chances to add Alves, Sanchez, GSP3, Hughes3, Machida2, and many other unknown opponents has me as a fan stoked on possibilities alone.

by ( (AdamG ) ) on Dec 7, 2008 6:44 PM EST up reply actions  

Exactly. All the BJ haters said he was gonna get beat again by Pulver, but when Penn won, they called Pulver washed up. Then we heard the same people say JoeDaddy was gonna beat beat Penn too, but it never happened. Excuses like “Joe didn’t have the experience to beat BJ”. Then the same previous haters said that Sherk would smash BJ, and that Penn would gas by the 2nd round, but what happened? Sherk got KTFO. Then the lame excuses came “he lost because he was off the roids.” No Sherk lost because Penn is in a different league then him. I’m not an ignorant hater who says GSP will lose everytime he fights. GSP is a good fighter in every aspect of MMA. But I just don’t see him being able to beat Penn this time around.

by pUniSHment on Dec 7, 2008 9:18 PM EST up reply actions  

Pulver is washed up, he’s 1-4 in his last 5 fights and he got KOed very quickly in 2 of them. Maybe people aren’t going against BJ, but rather playing the devils advocate against his fans that go on about how he is a God. How many BJ fans said he would destroy Sherk in the first round? I just had to go against that, it’s not realistic. I don’t hate BJ, I think he is an exciting fighter to watch, but I don’t really care for his attitude. I think people do the same thing when it comes to Fedor’s fans, I know I do,lol.

just to make sure people understand…

BJ was a great fighter but his lack of concern over defending his title as well as his inflated ego are what have turned me off of him..

 example..Anderson Silva and GSP are amazing fighters, role models, gentleman, whathaveyou, BUT if either of them fu*ked around, did not defend thier title or whined that they wanted to fight this guy or that guy, then I say, strip thier belt and make them earn it back through a tournament style event…any belt holder in my opinion MUST fight a minimum of 4 times a year…

So hate if you want, I am all for fighters having medical benefits, some sort of job security, bonuses for staying healthy and being ready to fight whomever, whenever…cross promotion between different orginizations which allows us the fans (who really drive this sport) to enjoy many different types of fighters, better access to these guys….as far as I know MMA is not spelt ZUFFA

Do you know how many kids BJ Penn has saved in Hilo? In Hawaii period. A lot of the kids who train at his gym do so for free, because their parents cannot afford to pay that kind of money. I’m from Oahu, and there are so many kids who look up to him. Many of you are unaware that all the smaller shows that we have down here will soon be gone. The reason is because the legislature wants the promoters to fork out a ridiculous amount of cash to pay for these events. The smaller shows don’t make the kind of money the UFC does, and will never be able to afford the bill. Where are all the kids who train gonna go? BJ Penn has been the #1 supporter to keep these smaller shows going. I’ve seen him many times, and he’s never hesitant to take pictures, sign autographs, or just chat with strangers.

props to any fighter that takes the time to do something for others….

and from what I heard, the legislation was passed but they are making SO friggen expensive that even the mighty UFC money making machine won’t be going there anytime soon, which is a drag for MMA

It’s impossible to put on a MMA show here. We used to have small ones at this place called Dole Cannery, but now the promoters can’t afford to do so because of all the expenses. There’s a lot of amatuer fighters and beginning professionals who get their start at those fights. It’s a complete shame.

he saved kids? like saved their life? that seems a little dramatic, how do you get that from letting people train at his gym for free?

by brendan on Dec 7, 2008 9:52 PM EST up reply actions  

better to have kids training in gyms and in clubs learning discipline and respect for one another then out on the street doing less productive things…

We have a major crystal methamphetamine problem here in Hawaii, and if they didn’t have the gym to go train at, they would end up on the street, breaking into houses to get drug money. Parents can’t afford to put them into sports like baseball or football. There’s a lot of children who train at the gym whose parents use meth themselves. But they don’t show this caring side of BJ on tv. It’s a sad situation out there, and BJ as well as the entire Penn family do more for the community than any of you will ever know.

I don’t understand why they don’t show that on TV. They showed how much trouble Huerta had growing up, and it makes for a great back story. Huerta earned alot of respect from me, having grown up the way he did, and perservearing to do something productive with his life. BJ’s service to his fellow Hawaiins is one of the many reasonsd I resdpect him so much. And yes I do respect GSP as well. GSP is just as perfect a model of what a professional athlete and role model to kids should be.

You know what, after reading all these posts on a regular basis and know how deeply devoted fans like ((adamg)) and pUniSHment are, I would actually feel bad for them if gsp wins, I for one won’t gloat. Back in 1998 dan severn was my favorite LOL and I hated royce gracie because he beat severn and seemed to really lack respect for his opponents. For years I could care less about MMA then I saw a tribute to royce gracie and again was pissed off at him for being a dirty fighter, trying to break the guys arm after he taps. For some reason I looked him up on the internet and discovered matt hughes beat him in 2006, I’ve never heard of hughes before that time, gsp or penn. I became a fan of hughes and couldn’t wait for his fight nov 17 2006 with gsp, and was surprised at how so many bloggers on the internet thought gsp would beat hughes. Ufc 65 was the first PPV I bought and was shocked when gsp easily beat hughes, I had a hard time sleeping that night. I consoled myself with thinking hughes was an idiot to stand with gsp and only lost because of this and the old matt hughes would have won, I argued this case of the internet for some time. For some reason I eventually became a gsp fan and thought serra had next to no chance of beating him because of seeing the lytle/serra fight and hughes/gsp 2 fight it was a no brainer. I was shocked as hell when serra tko’d gsp and I thought it was a lucky punch and if they fought 100 times serra would’nt duplicate that. I remember arguing with longisland guy and a few others relentlessly my point, but the bottom line is he got caught period. Like fitch I noticed gsp is a little gun shy after that fight and took things to the mat and tried to keep it there. Its interesting gsp’s strategy with fitch was to try to keep it standing and only go to the ground if fitch went crazy with his hands. Sorry penns fans or gsp fans but neither of these guys last 3 or 4 opponents were givens. Yes penn and gsp should have been the favorites but gsp was a 10 to 1 favorite and he didn’t make it to the second round with serra. Its all about probabilities, the gsp penn match up is a really good match up because gsp is probably the only one that I think could take penn down fairly regularly. I think he will take penn down in the first round, but what makes this fight so good is penn is so dangerous off his back and even more dangerous on top. I really doubt penn can take gsp down, and think gsp has an edge in the all around striking department with penn having the edge in the dirty boxing or in the pocket area. This is no sherk/penn fight gsp’s striking is far superior to sherks and he has better take downs, take down defense and has better bjj. If the gsp who fought fitch fights the penn who fought sherk this should be a great fight and should go the distance, and I give the edge over all to gsp, even if penn is technically better I think gsp’s athletism will win this fight, like the first time, unless he gets caught of course.

I respect your opinion. But, I don’t see GSP being able to take Penn down regularly. I for one don’t hate GSP. even though he beat my fav fighter in the entire world BJ Penn. Penn IMO didn’t deserve to win that fight at UFC 58, because his work ethic wasn’t there. But look at how close the fight was when he was gassed. GSP did nothing with the takedowns. Penn was constantly looking for submissions like the omoplata at the end of the round. Again GSP is a great fighter, but I do not see him beating Penn this time around.

Well if penn wins I’ll give him his props, as he would prove he was the better fighter that night but he would still be 1-1, so a rubber match would even be more interesting. Penn would do what no other fighter has done in the ufc before, hold two belts at the same time in different divisions. The only thing I don’t like about that is holding up both divisions, which I don’t think anyone would argue with isn’t in the best interests of top contenders and the ufc. If a champ wants to go up in weight and challenge another champ if he wins he should lose his former title, and stay in that division to defend the belt, just my opinion, even though the idea of defending two titles sounds cool in the real world I don’t see it working too well.

by nathan on Dec 8, 2008 12:48 AM EST reply actions  

He wont hold up the LTWT title for long, fight Kenny and then let it go and just be WLWT champ starting by defending his belt to Alves. Thats all. If he keeps it for longer than Kenny than i agree that sucks but he should agree to fight as many times as 2 champions, be in shape to do so, i want him fighting 5-6 times in a year. ASAP with every fight, be capable of doing so or hes not allowed to do this. Hw eill, 6 Penn fights a year, im drooling! BJ BJ BJ!!!

Someone earlier asked why Penn was rated so high as a P4P when his record doesn’t seem that great.

Something to think about: of his 4 losses, 3 of them were split decisions. That means that one of the judges in each of these fights thought BJ won.

His first loss was in a LW title fight to Pulver where he had Pulver tapping as the bell rang at the end of round 1.

His loss to Machida is more like a victory since he went up mutiple weight classes to fight a still unbeaten guy who is probably the best LHW fighter in the world right now.

His third loss was to GSP and he sent him to the hospital while looking untouched after the fight.

His last loss was to Hughes and he was winning handily before cracking his rib.

So these are his losses. Do they sound like the losses of someone who has had his ass kicked?

GSP knows what it’s like to be beaten up and lose a fight. That has never happened to BJ, unless you want to count the second Hughes fight; but having Hughes lay on you in a crucifix because your rib is busted and pepper you with raps on the head that you barely react to, isn’t exactly an ass kicking.

Throw in that BJ won the Mundials with 3 years of training as the first non-Brazilian to do so and the fact that he has already held both the LW and WW belts and you start to get why he is considered one of the best.

All he has to do is beat GSP, which he will, and everyone will realize what the deal is with him. They will have to because it is obvious to all how great GSP is.

To GSP’s credit, he is the only guy 170 or under who can beat a BJ Penn that is in top form. No one has any doubt that GSP is one of the best P4Ps in the world. But after their fight it’s going to be Fedor, Anderson Siva and BJ Penn at the top of that hill.

by revjames13 on Dec 8, 2008 1:42 AM EST reply actions  

Actually his only split decision loss was to GSP. He lost unanamous decisions to Pulver(Jens did indeed tap at the end of the round) and lost another unanamous decision to Machida. I just cannot see Penn losing this time around to GSP.

by pUniSHment on Dec 8, 2008 5:09 AM EST up reply actions  

According to a well recognized MMA site that rhymes with “Dershog”, he did indeed lose to Machida via unanimous decision. However, he lost the first fight with Jens by majority decision, according to the same site AND UFC.com. I am ashamed to admit that I don’t know exactly what that means. I would assume it means the same as split decision, and maybe it was just the old way of saying split decision. Can anyuone clarify this?

by --utaptout-- on Dec 8, 2008 9:09 AM EST up reply actions  

Yes, old way of saying split dec. The guy below me is retarded, it does NOT mean the same thing as Uni. SPLIT=MAJORITY. Just say the words next to each other and it should become pretty clear. No worries, every question is a good one.

by ( (AdamG ) ) on Dec 8, 2008 12:49 PM EST up reply actions  

I thought majority decision meant 2 judges picked the same winner and the third called it a tie.

by kdog on Dec 12, 2008 5:25 AM EST up reply actions  

My bad on the Machida result, but wasn’t his first fight with Pulver a split?

Either way, all of BJ’s losses were very, very close fights that went to decision except the Hughes cracked rib fight. Forget about the fact the BJ has remade himself as a fighter by dedicating himself totally to the preparation phase. Also, all of the guys he “lost” to are or were champions, except Machida (who will be most likely).

BJ has probably the most deceiving record of anybody in mma on paper.

This is the first fight I will be attending live and if it was on another planet I would be building a spaceship right now. Best matchup we will see for a long, long time…

by revjames13 on Dec 8, 2008 12:11 PM EST reply actions  

Majority and unanimous decision are the same thing, all three judges thought one fighter won. A split decision is when not all the judges agree who won simple as that, gsp is the only split decision penn had.

by nathan on Dec 8, 2008 12:18 PM EST reply actions  

Majority and unanimous arent the same thing LoL, what are you talking about . . .Unanimous means all feel the same way, majority menas that the “majority” of them felt one way while the rest felt the other way . . . Majority and split mean the same thing buddy, so revise how Penn got those losses for me k, not all by unanimous decision LoL Lyoto = Uni, GSP=Split, Pulver = Majority (they would use the term majority instead of split back in the day) same thing as split. Only Lyoto has clearly beaten BJ, barely. And the disadvantages BJ had, LoL, if Lyoto didnt knock his little *ss 30 feet out of the ring than he lost to me. 3 rounds, Soukaju couldnt, tito barely made it out the first, Bonnor nope, Fraanklin nope, BJ yes.

I wonder how many other lazy, sloppy non-athletes have won world championships in Jits and then gone on to be world champions in multiple weight classes in mma?

GSP may be a better athlete, but BJ is a better fighter, and the better fighter is going to win.

i guess we’ll find out jan 31 who the better fighter is eh?

Yeah, that is the great thing about this one. If GSP wins then my hat is off to him and he can claim his spot as perhaps the best in the sport.

My money is on BJ winning decisively, though.

i’m not buying penn saying he’s going to kill gsp.
sorry,
not buying it.

 gsp will smother penn and knee his body on the ground. thenew;y acquired bjj black belt wont be how gsp wins- if he does sub penn it’ll be proly an armbar after a meat tenderizing procedure- but it’ll help gsp avoid the only ground threat, penn needs to connect, gsp probably wont give penn a chance

by russiandoeboi on Jan 8, 2009 1:54 PM EST reply actions  

not buying bj’s claim this time.
GSP is more than ready,
penn is trying to get in gsp’s head with altitude chambers, and kill you threats.

that’s as good as a wet noodle against gsp the monster
