To the death Kenny! Glub, glub!

I’m wondering if “The Prodigy” is going to do any actual MMA training for this fight — or is he just going to have Marv carry him to the cage and fight from his back like Master Blaster.

by Jesse Holland on Jul 17, 2009 12:37 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I think I saw McCully at the other end of the pool carrying rocks underwater…

If I were Kenny, I’d make dam sure they don’t implement the idea of having a moat around the octagon

__

Holy shit, it took me like five minutes to stop laughing from this…kudos…

Is this BJ’s attempt to enter the flo?

by Buster Bluth on Jul 17, 2009 1:13 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

BJ’s darkest moment came when the girl with the fish-bucket refused to come over and put a raw flounder in his mouth.

by Jeremyjackson on Jul 17, 2009 1:32 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

i like to put my flounder into fish-bucket girls’ mouths… whats with the sausage fest in the jacuzzi over there? nothing more fun than 8 guys in a spa together…

by brendan on Jul 17, 2009 1:41 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ahhh nothing like doing some hard work and then dipping in the jacuzzi. Life is hard, real hard. I’m sure all this mind f’ing is starting to get to Kenny.

Almost the best video clip so far…(tie with the one where he’s on a scales).

By the way BNF, glad to see you’re on the winners side on this one!

by kevin on Jul 17, 2009 1:09 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah I agree that is impressive.

Ripping BJ for the whole training bit is really getting old.

by BILLYCARNAGE on Jul 17, 2009 1:26 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, especially when he’s the champ. I really have trouble understanding how you can rip on a guy when he is clearly the #1 fighter in the world in his weight class. That’s something only a handful of people can claim.

Having said that, I hope this fight is a little more competitive than BJs last three fights at lightweight. I still would like to see him come out with the win though.

I was there for almost a month. All my family was there. Its like the 18th summer i spent there. Its so sad to be back.

UFC is pretty damn popular over there and WWE is HUGE so BROCK was big news in ITALY. It wasnt even hard for me to find a bar to watch UFC 100 at!

by john G on Jul 17, 2009 2:45 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Very impressive. Still doesn’t take away from the fact that Patrick cote did in fact lose 4 UFC fights in a row!

by sdow on Jul 17, 2009 12:39 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

what the hell are you talking about? why did u bring up cote losing 4 in a row? lol

by JG on Jul 17, 2009 1:07 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

First of all, because this a 30 second clip of BJ jumping out of a damn pool. I would assume we can post random shit on a post like this.

Second, because random placement of Cote comments has kind of become my trademark and regardless of how many people lose control of their emotions too easily and become illogically enraged by a random comment about Cote every now and then, I will continue to do it. There’s a common conception that randomness is funny but unfortunately, too often, that does not apply on this website.

by sdow on Jul 17, 2009 1:18 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It’s not random when it’s a routine.

You son of a bitch! If ever see you in person I’ll gives ya what-for, putting all this Cote stuff in non-Cote threads.

by PW on Jul 17, 2009 2:33 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

There’s no routine. There’s no rhyme or reason. If you saw it every post it would be routine. If you saw it every 2 posts or every 3 or 4 or 5. It would be routine. I post it completely at random. It is not a routine.

You know what else is random? Posting a video of BJ jumping out of a swimming pool. HA!

LMAO!!!!!!!! That was funny! so funny i consider myself a regular since i’ve been visiting daily for 2 years and i’ve never left a comment!!!

The pool may not hit back, but that was still pretty impressive.

Kenny, your dead.

by BNF on Jul 17, 2009 12:41 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

instead of jumping out of the shallow end of a pool you’d think he would be training for kenflo! This is exactly why kenny is going to walk through him just like GSP did!! Mark my words!!! Wonder what BJ “the crybaby” penn will cry about after he gets smashed??

by TheDragon on Jul 17, 2009 12:41 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

How is Kenny going to walk through BJ? Kenny is no where near GSP’s level.

by BNF on Jul 17, 2009 12:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Kenny is going to smash blow job penn!! BJ is to cocky he is good but the problem is he thinks that he is too good thus the beating he took from GSP!! i didn’t say kenflo was on the same level as GSP i said he was going to walk through BJ like GSP did , because as i just said BJ is way to over confident and doesn’t take things seriously! I think the prime time episodes and this “pool Video” prove that!! BET IT ALL on KENFLO !!!!!!! mark my words fellas

by TheDragon on Jul 17, 2009 12:52 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

your words are marked……..you will be wrong , and FUCK KENFLOW

The Dragon-
I love how gullible you are. "I think the prime time episodes and this "pool Video" prove that!!" Do you believe everything you see on TV?
Oh, I commend you for your matchless wit "Blow Job Penn" who would have ever thought of that?!

The Prodigy by TKO I think the Doctor will be stopping this one.

well it’s all said and done and kenny is the new champ i will be here to gladly say I TOLD YOU SO!!!

just like machida and evans
alot of you were saying evans was the man bla bla bla bla and what happended there?

this was a 30 second video clip lol give the guy a break the other 23 hours 59 minutes and 30 seconds of the day he could have been training mma lol

BJ wins via 2nd round TKO. Mark my words!

by jimmy_dean on Jul 17, 2009 6:19 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He’s just messing with everybody. Please don’t compare GSP to Kenny Florian. I like Kenny and am not a huge penn fan but still don’t think penn is going to lose. BJ will be very motivated to show that he is still the best lightweight fighter on the planet and I’m afraid he is going to take his revenge out on KenFlo.

by Adam T. on Jul 17, 2009 12:46 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

You think Kenny has a shot through, right? I put money on Kenny, but I only feel he has a 49% chance. I think it will take the perfect game plan from Kenny and a completely different approach than GSP took. IMO, Kenny has to keep the striking very mixed and avoid any kind of rhythm. He has to keep up the pace and hope BJ gets tired in the 4th or 5th.

by Punch You in the Ovaries on Jul 17, 2009 1:25 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Penn will take this. Then he will fight Sanchez & lose. I don’t see KFlo being the aggressor in this fight & we all know how BJ can get when he takes charge. But against Sanchez, that won’t happen.

pathetic is the word i was looking for to describe you and the way you think…I wont even try to explain how dumb you sound.

woah, i’m amazed at your reasoning skills. a 2 minute clip of bj doing something impressive and somehow you extrapolate that he’s not training for ken. I guess ppl aren’t supposed to have 2 spare minutes in the day when they have a fight coming up, eh???

He might have eaten less than 30 minutes before attempting this. That adds a whole other level of danger and daring to this stunt.

just keep discounting BJ’s skills because you don’t like him. I suppose everyone here can put their foot behind their heads with no hands too.

That will come in real handy during a fight. “Time out! I want to show you something!”

P.S Never try to force that either ;)

by McArthur on Jul 17, 2009 1:12 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

If you can’t force it behind her head, then give her a good donkey punch.

And this little jumping skill will come in handy. I predict BJ jumps over the cage and runs from the arena after Kill-Flo takes his title.

by PW on Jul 17, 2009 2:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

donkey punch eh??

by McArthur on Jul 17, 2009 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

This guy is such an egomaninac. I will appreciate and enjoy watching him lose to Kenny. I guarantee it will happen. He lacks the heart and cardio and that’s what this fight will come down to.

Haha Penn is a badass. Yeah that actually is difficult to do…go try it. Ill take Penn over Florian by 2nd rd TKO…no way Kenflo can take BJ, Where? How?(not in the standup and the ground? hah!)…Not gunna happen

by t0pd0g on Jul 17, 2009 12:45 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

If BJ can get his lazy @ss to do it, it can’t be that hard to do, GSP’d jump out of the deep end.

By the way TheDragon – I saw in an earlier post that you respect Machida. . You DO REALIZE that you’re betting “the house” against a man who took Machida the distance, right? And that was a very fat and slow version of BJ Penn, what do you think 155 Penn will do to the likes of Florian? lol. Can’t wait for this to play out. . .

by haglnuts on Jul 17, 2009 5:03 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

you do realize that was years ago!!
Kenny is getting better and better each fight and penn is getting worse and worse , as i said before it is his cockiness he thinks he is so good he can just blow guys off , he is good , not nearly as good as he thinks he is a loss to kenflo just may open his beady little eyes to that

by TheDragon on Jul 17, 2009 10:48 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

so losing to GSP at the top of his career is a downward slope? He’s NEVER lost at 155 bro! Cocky or not, you’re taking a HUGE gamble betting against Penn at 155. just sayin’.

by Anthony on Jul 17, 2009 1:15 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

It helps a tiny bit if you fart right as your jumping. The water creates a suction, increasing resistance. farting will add gas between the water and your body, thus lessening the suction. i am pretty sure that is waht bj is doing in the few seconds before the jump. trying to rip a good one, while also making sure he doesn’t dirty the water.

All these BJ Penn videos that Jesse puts up make Penn look like a joke. By now I can say Jesse is way up kenflo’s nutsack.. but hey he works for the site so it is what it is. Even though all his Penn threads are completely biased.

Kenny, go at it. Don’t give him so much credit !

OMG, BJ is a piece of shit for going in a swimming pool……

You guys are f’n whacked.

Do you really think fighters spend every waking second training. What about the post on here about GSP getting loaded in his cabana and Alves showing up and partying with them.

Yeah, and GSP walked through BJ, a 155 fighter. The same GSP that just walked through a guy that walks around damn near 200 lbs and was walking through their division. And have the fight, his leg was half disconnected.
