UFC 94 video blog with Dana White (Episode six)

Why is BJ a joke? He moved up in weight and lost to a bigger man. He runs through people at 155…
anyway cool blog, I like to see the reaction’s of Lorenzo and Dana during the fights….

BJ is not a joke. There is no shame in losing to a superior athlete like GSP who is also naturally bigger and stronger.

Stop hating!

He is a joke because he talked a lot of crap about GSP being a “quitter” and “fight to the death”, and then quit himself after 4 rounds. Hyping a fight is one thing, but you should back up your words, “I’m gunna knock you out in the first” is fine if you try and KO the guy in the 1st (punch him).

Blow-Job Penn is a hypocrite and joke of a man,

couldnt have said it better myself adam ! hes a joke exactly for that reason. he has mad skills and is a good fighter at 155, but dont get on like an idiot running your mouth about to the death and how gsp is a quitter…when u quit after round 4? get back out there and take your beating like a man and stick to your words !

I like your agrument….makes sense….thanks

You’re the “joke of a man” wether or not he backs up what he says, he is willing to fight GSP, are you? Joke.

tough loss AdamG….no offence but I’m happy I’m not in your shoes….BJ is a LW and the best LW of all time imo and would also beat 95% of WW’s…he is still the LW champ and will put the beat down on Kenny I’m sure of it…just wasn’t his night on Saturday…

tell me about it, went from the fighter with the most possible future options, to the guy in the LTWT division, i hope he retires, i dont see how he can call himself a champ after all that talk and then quiting. All the fun is gone, no more gsp, no more rubber match, no more double belt defenses, no more Alves, no more Hughes 3 (probably), no more legend or best of all time, no more Anderson Silva, no more could a should a would a, its over my friend . . . “I was not impressed by his performance!!!”

BJ needs more work on his cardio/strength training, the guy has improved his conditioning but its what made the difference in the fight; in the first round GSP could not take Penn down at all, he had 2-3 failed attempts, I’ve never seen someone stay on their feet like that when GSP wants it on the ground.

Overall I was dissapointed in the fight; I was hoping for a back and forth battle, not a one sided beating; I think Penn is still one of the best there is. GSP is just a monster at 170; non stop full steam ahead every minute of every round, not many people in the world can keep up with that kind of pace. That being said, hopefully this loss doesn’t get inside BJ’s head, if so, then I won’t be surprised to see Ken Flo pull out a win.

huh…he’ll be back with a vengence and you know it…I feel bad for Kenny all of a sudden

i will be surprised for Kenny but i also think BJ is still the best WlWT in the world, besides GSP, when GSP moves up to 185 BJ will be reunited with HIS belt, til then, i have not much respectfor BJ “The quiter” Penn.

Adam G-

Don’t worry. He will be back. Losing to a stud like GSP is no reason to be too upset. Everybody in combat sports takes a whooping at one time or another. This one loss does not take away from the talented fighter that BJ Penn is.

Truth.

Ill be glued to my TV the day GSP meets his maker, Ando possibly, but then he will lose cause its a stud like Ando, i want someone to blind side him the way he blind sided me, a random outclassing by Alves would be nice, something as unexpected as GSP mounting BJ Penn by the 3rd round. BullSH*T!!!

The BJ Penn that i grew up watching would have walked out to the center of the cage and took his FULL beating like a man, faught off the DR tying to stop the fight, somthing, he just crumbled in his corner, . . .speechless . . .RETIRE!

it was definately surprising

as much as i lost respect for him quitting after running his mouth about gsp being a quitter, i dont think he should retire. he can still compete at 155, he just ran into the king of the 170 division that night. he can still dominate at 155, and i think florian is in trouble when that fight happens. as for adam g sayin im the joke, sorry kid, its bj…if he wanted to fight to the death, get out their for round 5 and lets see it.

Yep Adam, I have to agree, I couldn’t help but think of the GSP vs Jon Fitch fight, where Fitch took way more dmg than BJ and still kept trying to win; I think Penn was mentally broken. I was not dissapointed in BJ’s performance/effort at all; I was just dissapointed to see that he threw in the towel.

me too…where there’s a will there’s a way…BJ didn’t have the will on Saturday….

didnt you guys also think that penn looked terrified and scared in the octagon during the intros ? to me he looked so scared to be in the ring and that was when i knew he was in for trouble that night !

Nope. Stop trying to attack his character. He lost to a great champion. End of story.

nuff said OJR…end of story for me too… :)

True OJR. AND HLL NOOOOO, BJ was not scared in the ring dude, that i will neveragree to, are you kidding, thats my entire point bro, YOU keep saying hes the joke not you, he was scared before hand not you, he was there and DID fight GSP, you were where, in you recliner fat *ss!!! Dont call me “kid” newbee, im 25 tomorrow, have a son, pay a mortgage, and have been on this site for 3-4 years now cool guy. BJ wasnt scared before hand no way, and the towell came when he knew he was out of his league and just wasting his time in there, everybodys time in there. But scard, dude he lost, he didnt cry. Sorry kid.

This is the way I see it. It really appears to me that, BJ was scared. (Not to nit-pick, or argue). The look of confidence BJ typically has at the stare-down is downright intimidating. That was not present. He DID look off-kilter, kinda like he was not really all there. I said a few days before the fight that BJ was really using up the small gas tank he has before the fight. I think all the shit he was talking mentally wore him down….mentally. Remember BJ saying that he has to relax and recover during his routine camp, that it is necessary to not (physically) peak before the fight. But to peak at the fight. Hypothetically, I think he was mentally finished before the fight even started.
On the other hand, his peak physical condition might have been there, it was just no match for the monster he faced.

WoW! D.White is pretty serious abou this Vas thing . . .Wonder if it will go anywhere. At bjPenn . com you can see the footage of what happened in full, the corner man went from face to shoulders to chest to upperback, it was noticed by the nsac right away and i guess they are taking it pretty seriously as well as D.White, most likely outcom if any, Kru Phil Nurse will lose his lisense, not much more than that for all you “GSP cheater” hopefuls and “no contest” wanters… Doubtful.

The nsac even “went up there and started screaming at the cornermen and GSP, knocked the vas down and kicked it out of the octagon!” . . . No good, no?

And Jackson appologized to Valentino after the fight for the inncidnt . . .WHY do that if it was just a “ritual they do every fight”??? And “every fight” huh, wierd no one noticed it til now, proably cause its a first therfor making it NOT “a ritual” . . .

the ritual involves the rubbing of the back, shoulders, temple…usually and hopefully not with vas though

Then the “ritual” should be done by someone not doing the vas right? Since th cornermen and the fighters and the officials know a rule is “no vas anywhere but he face” simply put. Nurse goes right for the chest and back and the officials JUMP right on it right then an there, but still do not effectivly wipe it all off, and lets say he was getting “greasesd” before the fight as well by adding water and sweat to it later it reactivates Vas, adding more to an lready applied area activates earlir applied Vas also.

Im learning of Serra complainin of the same thing with GSP, KenFlo saying the same thing about Huerta after their fight, all from Jacksons camp . . .

BJ got worked, but something wasnt right that night, im no longer “down in the dumps” im detemined to find out whats up here. Penn seemed done after the 1st his attitude) and maybe thats cause he got to see how slippery GSP was, no to mention GSP pulling down BJ’sshorts or using them during a takdown attempt, then hitting Penn severl times in the back of the head, warned more than 3 times, and in several rounds . . . We’ll see.

thats what i mean goddamnmike. he just didnt look the same, maybe scared wasnt the right word, but he didnt look right. just didnt have the stare of the usual confident demeanor. as for adam g, calm down man. only having a discussion here. dont act like you know everything and i dont, im no newbie. been following this stuff for a long time now too. just tryin to have discussion with fellow mma’ers.

GSP is still better, but maybe thats only when he’s using 4 different types of cheating, if he did . . .

Sorry dude, i love BJ, youll learn this.

Where are you going with this Adam?…What, do you think the outcome of this fight would have been different? When GSP was picking apart BJ on the feet, Did the Vas help? NO! When GSP had BJ Defending the takedown in the 1st round, it was apart of the master plan that GSP had in store for BJ, NOT THE VAS.

In the first round, BJ Penn was so scared of the strength that GSP possess, he screamed at the ref. I know everyone heard that. The scream was because GSP had a hold of BJ’s Shorts, but in all reality, BJ was scared to shit b/c he could feel the power of GSP. BJ wasn’t screaming cause of the “pull of the shorts” he was scared period of the whole fight!….AND NOT THE VAS….

Give it up for life Adam G…Let his camp run to the nsac, it won’t changed the out-come. 10/10 GSP Wins against BJ “The guy who never gives up” Penn!

there wasn’t any “picking apart BJ” on the feet; landing a superman jab, and a couple regular jabs could hardly be considered “working someone”; BJ likes to play high guard, if GSP’s upper back was greased like some are suggesting than it gets all over BJ’s legs the second he goes to set up a triangle or play that high guard. After its all over his legs it’s easy for GSP to slip out of the guard and into side mount; didn’t you hear Rogan saying over and over again about how amazing it was that GSP was just passing BJ’s guard like that?? I’m not saying I buy into the “conspiracy” either I’m just saying if it was intentional, it would have been a significant advantage to GSP maintaining that top position and moving so easily into Sidemount/mount.

got it dude, didnt buy into to it yesterday nd dont really buy it today. SORRY pal, but i think i was the first tosay it whn this nws originaly broke yesterday “BJ . . .STOP CRYING!!!” so dont tell me about BJ’s camp this and stan up jabs that bro, i know what it would have done and what it wouldnt have done bro, i get it. BUT fact is its illegal right?? Ok then,dont tell me anything ude, tell GSP to win and NOT do illegal things, BJ did nothing wrong right? Wether its a worthy complant of illegal activity, its stillillegal activity. And what, he can just defend his belt forever like this cause he beats guys so bad it doesnt matter?? YOU my friend are blind! Serra complained of it, BJcomplained of it and it was seen on camera, and Kenflo complained of it when e faught Huerta (also in Jacksons camp) Wierd huh? And also wierd that GSP becomes this “Untak downable, uncontrollable, fast, great BJJ moves and pases guy” right when he gets with Jacksons camp huh??? Outwrestled Kos . . . Outfaught Fitch . . . Then copletely outclassed anothe P4Per . . . Right, im sure it all GSP in there. Add the strike to the back of the head several times in several rounds and being warned by Herb Dean about it several times, grabbing BJ’s shorts duing takedowns, and Vas to not allow BJJ to come into play. . . . If it walks like a duck. . .

AdamG up above you say there’s full footage of the cornerman greasing GSP inbetween rounds, which video is it, I’m on BJpenn.com and the only thing I see is Dana Whites video blog from fight night when he complains about the vas used on GSP.

LMAO! Right, screamed cause he was scared but never screame again, GSP was still there right, but BJ stopped beig scared or what, why didnt he give up right then, when GSP was demonstrating his “power” and not grabbing BJ’s shorts. You act like all these things arent against the rules dude, THEY ARE! Get some MMA kowledge and then come talk to me. Its not abut the Penn fight,its about feeling bad for Alves cause GSP will do the same thing to him that he has done to Kos, Serra, and BJ, like Huerta tried to do to Kenflo, like Jackson tries o do with all his cast.

O damn; its in the thread on the left of the main page called “GSP and his team secret cheat footage” it has 3 vids as you scroll down showing everythign that happened the 2nd time they were caught (between rnds 2 and 3 when the commission was already pissed and watching for it), they already had a big blowout the first time, between rnds 1 and 2.

You both too ignorant too see BJ was completely owned before even coming into that fight… GSP didn’t look scared, not once! The only time BJ didn’t look scared is when he was coming into the octagon. There is absouloutley nothing BJ had on GSP..Nothing!. You’re biased attmpt to dis-credit a fighter in GSP means nothing to me. You’re conspiracy is nothing, and even BJ Penn him self knows he was beat. GSP had the ultimate game plan for Penn, thats it and thats all! Working Penn’s Cardio, keeping him working was the plan, and it played out really well for GSP.
BJ is a god at LW and im a fan, but his fans are a bunch of cry babys, and make me damn near hate the fact BJ is a fighter.
Luckily, i apporach these situations differnetly, Im a fan of BJ Penn, and i completely agree the BJ would probably own maybe 85% of the WW in the UFC, but to continue on with the ignorant discussion about GSP being a grease monkey is just stupid. BJ is the man, he and he stepped up and took the loss like a man. Don’t ruin it for him and for fans like us. BJ has already stated his coming back and gonna take on Kflo..so don’t kill it for the rest of us fans.

Here’s the link for anyone interested, hard to tell I think; but there might be something to this.

“GSP is still better, but maybe thats only when he’s using 4 different types of cheating, if he did . . .” Surprise, surprise Adam is coming up with more excuses, I would have never guessed. You have had excuses for everyone of BJ’s losses, why stop now? Anyone who thinks GSP is the type of guy to cheat, just isn’t paying attention. Adam, why don’t you go look at all the gifs floating around other sites of BJ’s corrner rubbing grease on his face and then touching his BACK and CHEST. Hypocrite.

what about rampage-wand?

does that ring a bell??

…oh wait~

the 2 of fights were in pride! New rampage

Nobody should get three tries. Eventually the truly better fighter will get caught.

As we saw with W. Silva.

Spyder, can you truthfully say that GSP/Penn 1 was as one sided as the Tito/Shamrock beatdowns?

Not a chance! BJ lost a split decision due to takedowns in rounds 2 and 3. IF a fight was judged on damage, like it should be, he would have won thier first fight.

BUT, after seeing JUST the 2nd fight, there would be no need for part 3. It would just be more of rounds 2, 3, and 4.

Bj is still the #1 LW, you still have to give the guy credit for fighting a weight class above, I know he has done it before and the first time vs GSP it was very close but the new GSP is way stronger than the old GSP, the vas had nothing to do with outcome but hopefully this will help BJ overcome this loss and get back to defending his LW belt. I love GSP but I think A.Silva would be to much for him his long legs and power are to much to overcome but I still would like to see him try and hopefully prove me wrong.

agreed on all accounts OJR

agreed 100% OJR. i dont think alves will be able to handle GSP. his camp will create a strategy that gsp will execute perfectly and he will still be the champ 100%.

give me a break.. GSP is bigger and better, no need to even talk about this! BJ Penn is way too small for WW and would have been murdered by Thiago Alves too, and Fitch, Kos and everybody else.. Diego Sanchez will probably beat him in a 5 round title fight too.. he’s not good enough of an athlete

yeah and what vasolene does is burn the shit out of your eyes when it gets in there.. maybe some could have gotten into bjs eyes? either way bj just didnt show up he looked like nogueira against mir

This one was great.
So is Dana the Pete Rose of MMA now…LOL!
The crowd roar fucking nuts!!!
I love thise shots with Dana, Lorenzo and the big screen in the background.
That Gono/Villiage People shit has to go, seriously.
So was Chuck the one that dropped the dime on GSP?

the ufc needs to put more emphasis on the volume of the live crowds during it’s telecasts. it doesn’t sound nearly as loud on tv and would add alot to the ppv’s imo. it would probably drown out goldie and rogans voices, but that might be a good thing. rogan was annoying sat night. there was 1 point during the 2nd rnd when gsp was landing some great punches, and rogan was going on and on about bj being the 1rst american to win the bjj tournament and i was like “shut the hell up and call the fight”. everyone already knows there backstories of these 2 fighters.

yea and when GSP landed a flush shot he thought the crowd was roaring for BJ getting back to guard… those 2 guys are nuts sometimes..

its not all about the size when it comes to the murder that would happen.

andy is on another level then gsp~

just like gsp is on another levle then bj.

andy could cut all the way down to 170 and he would still smack gsp.

andy should be fighting 205ers and not mw or ww.

he only has 4 fights left after 87..

GSP vs Silva wont happen for a while, if ever… they both have tough fights coming up, especailly GSP, dont overlook Alves, he is a beast!!!!

Heard it all before guys.. Serra is GSP’s kryptonite, Fitch is too scrappy for him, BJ is superior at everything.. No matter who he beats, you always have an ace in your sleeve. Just give the guy his props and quit speculating on the result of a fight that is months if not years away..

Good call Caper. GSP will never get the respect and noteriety for doing what no one else can even come close to doing. Could you imagine if Fitch, or Penn had won?? Being from another country (and speaking another language) will never get the same light from the vast majority of the fans. Patriotism is a real thing nowadays…..hehe.

I think GSP is awesome, and continue to prove he is one of the best fighters in the world. I don’t know if it would ever happen, but Anderson Silva vs. GSP would be great to see. IMHO Silva would beat GSP easily, and I am a big GSP fan. Silva is at a different level than every other fighter out there. I’ve been saying this for over a year, enjoy watching Silva while you can, because a fighter like him comes along once in a generation. He is as good at what he does as was Ali in boxing, Jordan in Basketball and Tiger in golf. That doesn’t take away from other great players or athletes, there are just people who are just on a different level. GSP is always improving and is a great fighter, but Silva just has so much God given talent, that no amount of hard work and training can make up for that. I love both guys and they will continue to dominate at their respective weight classes!

I would say that Dan Henderson has a better chance than GSP. Partly because Dan showed the a take-down into good position should work, a good wrestler with a solid chin.

Dan beats Silva maybe 1 in 4 or 5 attempts, he’s just gotta hope that after Bisping he gets that “good” attempt.

MATT, if GSP can beat Thiago at 199 that automatically means he can handle Anderson Silva at 199 lbs? Are you serious?? That has to be THE WORST MMAmath I have ever seen!

Also, 199 seems VERY heavy for Thiago, yes, even for Thiago. If he ever weighted 199 on fight night, I would think that it was for the Hughes fight where he wasnt even able to make wieght. If you read that he was 199 for the Kos fight “somewhere on the internet”, please remember that you can always believe what you read on the internet… I don’t recall ever hearing of a WW add back 29 lbs in 24 hours. I mean, I don’t even think HW’s that cut to 265 can even weigh 294 on fight night. That is just toooo much, unless they planned on dying of bloat..

maybe he walks at 199…but NOBODY can add 29lbs in a day…

Í don’t think GSP would beat Franklin, Hendo or even Bisping and he would atleast have a very hard time doing so GSP beating Anderson Silva won’t happen.. the reach and the skill of Anderson is just too much for him to handle

he wouldn’t beat Marquardt either that guy is huuge

I remember seeing that somewhere online too. Ill try and find it.

here it is from yahoo

“In Alves’ recent win over Josh Koscheck on Oct. 25 in Chicago, he went into the cage at an unheard-of 199 pounds after making 171, which would make St. Pierre the rare smaller welterweight if Alves could do it again.”

- meltzer

huh…amazing

Guess it could have been a typo bc he was compairing it to what GSP came into the fight at 187. I dont see alves adding 12 more pounds than what GSP added.

extremely hard to believe

Correct. I HATE GSP. Always have, always will. Did I diss GSP or discredit his win in any way? Nope.

Oh, and by the way Caper, WHO ARE YOU???

B-Dub, Fitch is a larger WW, but he doesn’t have to resort to banned diuretics to make wieght!

Yes, they were…still not saying much though. The card, as a whole, turned out to be pretty weak, IMO.

Karo was a bore and Diaz should have kept his stand up going.

Who’s a Penn nutthugger?

I’m a fan, but picked him to gas and lose to GSP…that’s what happened.

BJ would lose to all of the top WW’s like Kos, Fitch, AJ, Alves.. and i can promise you that he’s going to lose against Diego in a title fight at 155..
