BJ Penn now sleeping in a plastic bag for UFC 94 (Video)

Hater???

read more of my previous posts before YOU mistake me for a BJ hater…….LMAO!

I can read it in this post that you are, twwwwisting words around . . .whats that . . .

BJ@! BJ! BJ! BJ! BJ! BJ!

BJ BJ BJ!!!

Here we go again. TV show is not enough now the hawaiian princess is “blood doping.” It took BJ 4 rds to put away t-rex arm sherk who decided he was a boxer. BJ peaked a long time ago while GSP is nowhere near his potential. GSP! GSP! GSP!

LMAO! it was 3 rounds, but whatever, all knowing eye. Sherk boxed cause he knew the ground was hopeless, what else should he have done. It took 3 orunds for GSP to . . .oh wait, he never did finish Penn huh, or Kos, or Fitch, hell, the guy only finishes if he is fighting a midget like Serra or Hughes, even then, he loses to them before he finishes them, right?

Sherk is totally game, top 10 contender, so 3 (or 4) rounds to put him away is still pretty damn good. You’re acting like he’s a chump, which is crazy! I’ll tell you will be crazy is the GSP?BJ fight. If BJ comes in shape and GSP comes mentally, this will be awesome!

Thank you for proving my point, BJ only subs cans while GSP beats the living tar out of top 3 guys. The last ranked fighter BJ subbed was Hughes 4 years ago. No amount of cardio and sleeping in bags will save your boy. (I admit i was wrong, it was 3 rounds against sherk but nonetheless embarrasing seeing how GSP outwrestled him and broke his face in two rounds)

Also betting lines are out- GSP -245, BJ +175. Better get in now before it shifts.

Umm…before you talk about guys that lost to hughes…

Sherk had so many disadvantages in that fight its rediculous! GSP should have won right? GSP should have also beat Serra the first time right? Penn you guys clained would lose to Sherk, cardio blah blah blah, so it looks like my boy did the unexpected in winning, your guy loses the unexpected. Your boy is the one id worry about, we’re fine over here in BJ land. BJ BJ BJ!!!

F BJ – GSP RULEZ!

BJ can sleep in a plastic wrapper how long it pleases him but it doesn’t make a difference for GSP.

GSP FTW

how exaclty does that help anyways? sleeping in altitude? arent u supposed to train in it?

It artificially raises you red blood cell count. It’s funny the way he talks about guys cheating with drugs and that. This is legal blood doping if you ask me. If you wanna train in high elevation, go to an f’in mountain. Instead of getting his pudgy ass to the gym, he shells out 100Gs to sleep. AdamG, what is your take on this and not specifically when it come to BJ – cheating or not?

I think whatever it does for you is good, legal, and allowed by all MMA governing bodys. Im sure if you look into it, close to 60% of most fighters out there use the same piece of equipment, its just a big deal for Penn cause his cardio is a big deal. I personaly wish that BJ had never slacked in his career and he wouldnt need shortcuts like this, but as long as hes doing something to raise his cardio level, i dont care. If he was doing nothing you guys would say “the least the guy could do is sleep in one of those elivation tent thingys damn!” Right???

First of all, we’re not asking you so your opinion doesn’t count. Second, his pudgy a$$ is always in the gym, go to bjpenn.com to watch him train. Third, we live at sea level in Hawaii and we don’t have the luxury of going up to high altitude all the time(only Mauna Kea, but it takes like two hours to drive down there). Lastly don’t hate a guy who uses that to sleep, at least he ain’t juicing.

I think Dan Henderson uses one, I know Lauzon was using one when he was training with BJ. There are probably several others we don’t know about.

No Name, how is it cheating? IMO, it is very smart. He trains all day and is even gaining an additional advantage while he is sleeping. All the governing bodies have no problem with it, why would you?

hahaha ’we’re not asking you so your opinion doesn’t count’? Come on, that’s just funny. Since when does an opinion need to be invited on forums?

My post got moderated!

It appears i have offended some people. The thing is some fighters don’t have the monetary resources to afford such equipment/training so they have to cardio the old fashion way. This takes away from the time they can dedicate to technique. Some use this as a shortcut because no-one seems to thing it’s wrong. This doesn’t apply here but something to consider.

Punishment – plenty of fighters from all over make sacrifices to train in places like big bear. For someone who wants to be a legend, BJ seems to hate the hard work.

I understand where your coming from, but sleeping in the tent is just one aspect of his training. Why would he take his entire fight camp to a high altitude place to just train. What he’s doing now seems to be working well for him. As for fighters not having the resources to afford such equiptment, I agree to some extent. But since we live a sea level here, BJ is at a disadvantage if the fighter he’s facing trains at a high altitude. It’s not like BJ never does anymore cardio just because he sleeps in that tent.

While I can’t knock BJ for using the bag because it’s not illegal, I do think it’s weird that equipment like that to raise red blood cell counts are legal, while supplements or drugs that do so are illegal.

Guys don’t sweat it,there is nothing wrong with sleeping in a tent with a little less oxygen in it. It causes your body to produce more hemoglobin, the exact same way training at altitude(where the air has less oxygen)does. It is no more cheating than training at high altitude. It actually quite smart to try and get every edge you can these days with the new breed of athletes. You can bet GSP is pulling all the punches, he has been training at altitude for some time now. I could see some advantages and disadvantages to using the tent. BJ will raise his blood count for about 8 hours while he sleeps, yet he will be able to train harder in the oxygen rich air at sea level. I can’t see it working as good as 24 hours a day at higher elevation though, because 16 hours a day he would be breathing oxygen rich air.

Nice Gord, beyond well put!

Yep, old news. Saw it almost a month ago. BJ BJ BJ!!!

Adam, are we supposed to care!?

No, just agreeing with you that its old . . .

LoL, i called you a few names, MANIA wont post them, h-o-m-o = )

yeup MANIA wudnt pot what i said either!

*post

Haha. “Not impressed” remix is hilarious.

Yep – best thing ever said in MMA;

It was hilarious to see Matt Hughes get his “feelings” hurt – I almost felt sorry for the poor guy (but then I remebered having tolerate him the whole season on TUF with Serra – Serra vs Hughes is gonna be uber-duber has-beens matchup – cant wait)

no Alves catch phrase now seems to be “I’ve been a good boy” not sure what to think of that…

Means he actually made weight for a fight or two LoL As if that wasnt expected of him and hes doing something out of the ordinary.

I saw it as retarded so i chose not to respond. George is the only one thats stepped into the same building where a morg is housed after the first fight, think about that. BJ BJ BJ!!!

GSP was also the only one that received the winner’s check afterward.

And he knows that he might not deserve it, i didnt dee him bragging afterward, just complaining about how his face hurt, “seeing two BJ’s, it was crazy!”

True, but when have you seen him brag after winning fights? He’s always very respectful to his opponents. And he knows he deserved the win. Based on how UFC fights are judged it was the right call. If it was judged like Pride fights then BJ would have won, but that’s not the way the UFC works so it’s not worth complaining about.

Something i wrote earlier:
Wont be that easy! LoL!!! And i think Georges won 12 minutes of that first fight, you can see BJ gas after he defends that 2nd takedown and he is never as effective as the first 3 minutes. But he will be this time, all 25 minutes. BJ BJ BJ!!!

That’s pretty legitimate. And I wasn’t referring to you in terms of complaining about the decision, I know you weren’t doing that there. It was more for the the people who say ‘everyone knows BJ won the first fight . . .’ etc.

Id say they are retarded, BJ DID NOT WIN THE FIRST FIGHT! He won 3 minutes of it but thats all i need to see ya know, BJ in shape is an entire different world, all he wants for xmas is a dead GSP! BJ BJ BJ!!!

BJ lasting 25 minutes hahahahahahahahaha what is wrong with you guys are you guys really serious. first off the first fight was not even close please please watch the fight on mute and see who really wins. if it wasnt for rogan chirping for blow job penn the whole time you can clearly see GSP handled him. Im very surprised by the reactions here. Umm in the last 5 fights,, Bj lost to GSP, he got pounded out by hughes, he finally got his revenge against a guy who is a striker, pulver, he beat stevenson who is still young and it took him longer than kflo,, how do you guys think Penn will win?? decision? its not going 5 rounds because BJ cant go 5 rounds, knockout? BJ has never knocked anyone out except for a flying knee,, submission,, GSP is very well versed in submissions and he wont be submitted? ground and pound TKO haha thats cute againt GSP, therefore the only way he can win this fight is through a ref stoppage from a cut,, perhaps he can use his thumb like he did in the first fight.. Hes losing to GSP in 3 or 4 rounds and then he WILL lose to Florian, BJ is overrated whats wrong with everyone

Your right, Penn doesnt need 25 minutes.

I personally think GSP is going to win the fight, but I still don’t understand how anyone can think it’s going to be an easy fight either way. Given that the only time BJ has ever been stopped was after separating his rib, I think it’s more likely that BJ wins by an early stoppage than GSP. But I think GSP will have better cardio (he’s just a better athlete overall and I don’t think any amount of training can give BJ an advantage there), and has a better chance of getting a late round stoppage or winning a decision. I guess all this debate is what makes it such an exciting fight, but I don’t understand how anyone thinks it’s an easy fight for either fighter.

Ture GregC… No clear winner yet. Gotta give BJ insane respect, but realize that GSP is rediculously gifted as an athlete.

GSP! BJ! GSP! BJ!

This fightis similar to the Nover/Escudero matchup in that maybe GSP is the better athlete (as was nover), but Efrain was able to use his superior grappling (or from a leverage standpoint similar to BJ’s skills as he uses leverage so well to not waste energy)… Just a thought. I could have worded that better, but oh well.

Well its sort of a weird analogy, because Efrain won because he had the better wrestling so could dictate the fight.

Nover has great BJJ but not wrestling.

So who wins in that analogy; the guy with better wrestling.

heh

It depends. Whenever Nover tried to kick, Efrain would grab his leg and try to go for a takedown. BJ rarely kicks, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Nover didn’t throw many kicks, because he was worried about it, so it nullified one of his weapons.
Efrain seemed to be able to take him down virtually at will and control him.

I don’t see BJ taking GSP down at all he doesn’t have an explosive double leg or really any big wrestling skills, and while BJ obviously has 100x better TD defense then Nover, if anyone is getting taken down it’s gonna be BJ.

U forgot, “its not the fastest horse that win the race; its the horse that race the best”

LMAO! Well played!

BJ will be good target practice for GSP

Funny you should mention about “gay looking pics” – sounds like you are more than willing to suck up everything BJ has to offer & more

GSP has the best personality in UFC (2nd to Fedor in MMA) – he has alltime best tash talk: “I am not impressed by your performance.” (Applies to Penn as well)

Jack u gotta be kidding; Bj good target practice for GSP? Right.. GSP’s plan is to take this fight straight to the ground, he won’t stand with Penn and get battered again. Good luck getting it to the ground, as Penn seems to be the only one with TDD rated on par or better than GSP’s. And as far as personality, he seems like he’s really up tight to me, trying to make sure he says and does the right things in front of the camera, where as BJ just seems to act natural.

GSPs personality compared to BJs really? GSP acts, talks and is a true champion. Penn quit the sport like a spoiled rich kid when things werent going his way,, he does interviews and blogs of himself because he loves himself to much,, in interviews all he talks about his steroids and i want to lick man sweat off of my opponent after a couple of wins,, BJs gay, even his name stands for blowjob. hes losing to GSP hes losing to Florian and after that i hope the bum quits again

LMAO!

Jackel seems to be the biggest BJ hater here.

Jackel:
How’s fighting one of the best 155lbs fighter’s at the time in Gomi and RNC him, plus beating 2 Gracies and losing a decision to Machida walking away?

Thanks Punishment…took the words right outta my mouth. And Syd, I agree that jackel is a big hater, but I think Gord takes the #1 spot. Jackel, try somerthing different than his name means Blowjob. Its GSP fans like you that contribute to BJ fans oppinion that you’re all a bunch of whiny little b*tches…lol. :) BJ! BJ! BJ! BJ!

Sorry, but true. BJ BJ BJ!!!

Yeah, I’m already dreading the excuses.

Do you BJ guys have some lined up already?

What do you think they are gonna be, we should have a lottery to see who is right.

My picks:

1: If GSP takes him down more then once it’s gonna be “he just took him down and held him there”

2: If BJ does any visible damage to GSP they’ll say he really won and they’ll make some sort of phrase they can repeat like: “MAN AFTER BJ WOKE UP AND GOT OFF THE MAT HE HUNG WITH BITCHES WHILE GSP GOT STITCHES”

3: “GSP is too big if he dropped down weight to LW (LIKE A REAL MAN) and fought BJ there, BJ would deeestroooy him”

4: HE HAD A BAD BIG KAHUNA BURGER THE DAY BEFORE THAT MADE HIM SICK; GSP MAY HAVE POISONED HIM, WE STILL TRYING TO PROVE THAT.

What’s your excuse predictions?

Here’s an old excuse…BJ gassed!

Hope it ain’t used again.

LMAO ShaiZ, are you sure you’re not a BJ fan? Only a BJ fan could come up with those beauties,lol. Something tells me this one might be used quite a bit too: Gsp just layed on him and didn’t do anything to him (until he TKOed him). If he would have stood up with BJ like a MAN, instead of laying on him like he does to Cote, BJ would have DESTROYED him in the 1st round. Apparently, for them wrestling isn’t part of MMA. It’s kinda like cheating if GSP resorts to his greatest strength.

Gord, I am going to hold you to our bet. When BJ beats GSP, you can never post on here again. And if BJ loses, I am going to change my name to -utaptout-…I was wrong about GSPENN2. I know that when BJ wins, you’re just going to post unhjder a different name, but thats ok :)

all day everyday. can’t escape it

Really? He lost… you are in fact a smart ass… I like it.

sarcasim noted

who?

no i remeber when he fought joe daddy that joe went to big bear and bj slept in a tent. just made me wonder.

good point, Joe to Big Bear, BJ in tent, BJ wins. Sherk is a training machine, BJ in tent, BJ wins. Bottom line, since taking fighting seriously BJ is undefeated. (i know, i know, to lesser comp at 155, but GSPs comp aint that spectacular at 170 lately, Serra, Hughes (overthehill), Kos, Fitch. At least BJ has beaten a former champion in his last 2 fights. GSP fights whoever the UFC deems “#1 contender”. If BJ was GSP he would have been pushing for Silva a year ago. BJ BJ BJ!!!

hey now.. nothing wrong with Mcdonalds…

= )

I wish we had Sonic in Hawaii. Their drinks look super good.

we are the post police suckaaaaa!!! BJ BJ BJ!!!

BJ can do whatever he wants. He still cannot and will not beat GSP. Alves won’t either for that matter. I happen to like both Alves and Penn but just think that GSP has taken it to a whole new level.

By beating down Matt Serra, high bar to set . . .LMAO! I think BJ set that bar almost a decade ago man, sorry. BJ BJ BJ!!!

Don’t get all upset McArthur… I was just bustin balls. BJ BJ BJ!!!! :)

Bust away! BJ BJ BJ!!! BJ fans Bust balls, GSP fans get butt hurt and personal LOL! Hella serious, show me your serious face!! GRRRRRRRRRR!! LMAO! = ) BJ BJ BJ!!!

Darn Adam G you definitely are persistent and annoying for that matter. I’d love to hang around and post a few dozen times but I’ve got some derivative trades to make. Google it.

WoW! Sooooo cooool. Im just sitting around the firehouse waiting to save lives man, wish i was lucky enough to spend my days mitigating or hedging my bad financial choices like you = ) BJ BJ BJ!!! And i havent been on here in like 4 days dude, only on work days when i dont have my son, and yes, on those days i let loose. BJ BJ BJ!!!

Okay AdamG, should I add you my list of people that I gloat to after the fight? Chefdaddy is number one on my list. I am 100% certain that GSP wins this fight. Chefdaddy says he’s 99% on BJ. It’s a mismatch and your love affair is blinding you to this fact. I haven’t called a fight wrong in over a year because I only make a call on these mismatch cases where people buy into the pre-fight hype. How confident are you in BJ. Give me a percentage so I can quote it after the fight. AdamG gives BJ BJ BJs!

But thanks for proving my point, BJ Penn fans bust balls about GSP, while GSP fans get beyond personal about BJ Penn fans lives. Checkmate. BJ BJ BJ!!!

Hey Adam, don’t take my post personal like some of the other guys. Thanks for being a fireman.

100%, i wouldnt be the #1 nuthugger if i believed any less now would i? Things can happen, but a mismatch . . . it seems like everyone but you knows that this is the most even a match that can be faught from 170 and down man, sorry it doesnt meet your high standards of matchability. I know all GSP and OPenn fans are waiting to see how far their fighter has really come since battle 1, this will really tell you. BTW, i havent called a fight wrong for either fighter in years, only the Serra fight caught me off gaurd like the rest of the world. I guess i was wrong in thinking that GSP would/should actually finish Kos and Fitch, but decisions are fun to i guess. Hey, when you cant finish, you cant finish, no biggie. BJ BJ BJ!!!

Don’t get me wrong. I am very excited for the matchup. I just don’t let my emotions get in the way. GSP, being from Jackson’s here where I live, I get some of the inside scoup on the guy. He outwrestles the LHWs in the gym. If hew wants to hold the cabbage patch kid down, he can. No amount of gumby legs can overcome it. Within a year he grew to a point where the Canadian Olympic wrestlers couldn’t handle him. That is more prodigy-like than BJ’s accomplishments. Oh, and I really like BJ. I’m just not in love with BJ. Adam-G gives BJ, BJ, BJs

Add me to that list too. No way GSP beats BJ. Adam I’m with you man

haha…not to worry BNF…I knew what I was in for as soon as I posted in this thread…you guys were just waiting…cheers

Love it! McAthur knows how to roll with the eye pokes . . . i mean punches = )

Punch you in the ovaries, Ive just added you to my blast list when BJ beats GSP! Spooner…welcome to the club…lol…:) BJ BJ BJ BJ!!!

Didnt he just KOd by someone recently dude, what are you talking about? oh yea, just a decision to Swick, not a ko, but still . . .

And dude, Hughes punched BJ 47 times in the face bro, with no defense to stop him, Penn looked just like he always does after that, his face anyway, but yea, go Davis???

First of all, he had a pretty major shoulder injury in the swick fight. Second, most of the fight was not standup. Third, it is extremely difficult to KO someone from the crucifix position which Hughes had and they had a fight science documentary about how difficult it is to knock someone out from ground and pound.
 
And finally, what the hell does the amount of physical scarring and bleeding on a person’s face have to do with damage caused. A knockout punch is typically to the jaw and does not typically leave a mark. A person doesn’t have to look damaged to actually be hurt you idiot!

ok, besides his ribs/stomach, did he look hurt to you???

yeah…usually a guy spends the night in the hospital if he’s hurt.

nice work kev

Just took a look at the pictures(not very conservative women). I probably shouldn’t point this out but, did anyone notice that the first girl has GSP’s moniker on her “whistle.” This could explain BJ’s desire to get back in the ring with GSP.

I dunno, something about looking 4 months pregnant doesn’t do it for me. I’ll take the blonde w/o the pudge.

Ok, just scrolled down like 3 posts and saw where she just had a baby…that explains things. I retract my statement!

Nice one KEv. I just don’t know if the 1st one was legit…Well based on the other people’s comments below the pics…

Thanks Kev! But I gotta take the swim suit model over the new girl; both are hot but for some reason skinny blondes seem to be my thing… Unless I find a hot japanese chick; I really need to get some money together and go to Japan..

hell yeah you do… ive only been to the airport in tokyo and fell in love probably 4 times just walking around, those girls are beautiful over there

You really go for the exotic look do you Kev…

   I’m just wonderin’, here in the Philippines, Caucasian foreigners prefer the fugly exotic women who look like maids over the cuter, nicer lookin’ ones. I mean, why choose ugly exotic over cute exotic? I dunno, maybe you guys have a different point of view.Isn’t beauty universal? I mean, a caucasian like you and an asian like me must look at a hot gal[no matter what the race] just the same way, right?

Brendan: Tokyo has only 1 mold of hot chicks[sometimes the rare ones pop up once in a while], but check out our airports here! Our women are a mix of everything! From Asian hotties, to half-caucasian titz!Sometimes I even like the half-breeds better than the pure caucasians! You’re gonna faint here I’m tellin’ ’ya!;)

Im a pro, get some. BJ BJ BJ!!!

Im a pro, get some. BJ BJ BJ!!!

You’re right, he didnt defend it, he went on to fight and beat some Gracies at 185 lbs instead. Hmmmm, what would you do, fight your best friend in Charutto or not only give Charutto his own shot at Hughes and the belt but also fight some bigger better comp at the time . . .
