Quoteworthy:
"It’s been GREAT training. I have only been around for a couple weeks but I can see why BJ has looked so great in his last few fights. Marv and Gary Marinovich are on top of things here. On top of all the great stuff I have learned to do from Marv and Gary… I have really learned a lot of things NOT to do. Apparently I am not much of an athlete, because I do pretty much every activity with the worst form they have ever seen. I have horrible flexibility and I am just a nightmare. As Marv put it though: 'Imagine what you will be able to do when you become a real athlete.' I guess that just means I have a lot of room for improvement, right? I have made good improvements compared to how I started out though. I will have a LOT of time to improve on things before August rolls around anyways."
Bridgewater native Joe Lauzon (18-5) gets a little taste of the BJ Penn camp after flying to Hawaii to train under "The Prodigy" and his head conditioning guru Marv Marinovich. "J-Lau" returned from knee surgery to hook 'em up with Sam Stout in their "Fight of the Night" at UFC 108 in Las Vegas but was unable to break the "Hands of Stone," who took home the unanimous decision victory. Now the former TUF 5 contestant hopes to get back to his winning ways when the UFC comes to his backyard on August 28 in Boston. Will the new and improved Lauzon be a force to be reckoned with at 155-pounds?

that fight shouldn’t happen until 2011-2012 if it ever happens again which im betting it does.
i wouldnt mind seeing hughes and bj do it again before he fights gsp even if hughes is fading. they have history and hughes is a huge compared to bj.
I like Hughes and BJ
I don’t want to see that fight cause i think BJ will destroy Hughes if they do it again
I would love to see BJ destroy Hughes in a rubbermatch

Geez! I didn’t know we were that far ahead. That’s in Boston? What # is this? 115? 116? Anyone else rumored for the card?

and now bj can pass on..
excuses 101…jumping out of a pool…no no..just kidding..bj is a very impressive fighter and he has fought at dif weight classes and was not afraid to fight people out of his weight class in the old days..he rubs me the wrong way with his attitude..but an in shape..training bj is gonna be a force to reckon with..
You must live in the sticks, Sarah.
Us city folk don’t use words like reckon any more. BJ looks old in this pic.
OD is incredibly handsome, coureagous and self sacrificing in his endeavour to educate me on MMA and evolve my primitive understanding of the sport; I salute you sir.
I reckon you’d best get back to your fancy book-learnin’ center over yonder.
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
you fuckers..
i didn’t say i reckon he’ll be winning some fights uh huhhh…a force to reckon with..is it spelled wrong?..that is dif than using it the other way ..but yeah shit…i am not a city chick these days..and reckon is a yank word…i’m a fine canadian thank you very much !
you fuckers????
Isn’t that a fine way to say good morning. I was just bustin’ balls. It was spelt right but that doesn’t change the fact that BJ is still a giant dripping vagina.

You know we still use words like reckon and yonder here in Texas. Not so much in the ’Plex, but definitely in more rural areas.

I get a lot of Truck drivers here at work that are from Texas, dubs.
They like reckon and yonder and y’all. What is the ’Plex?

I reckon there's a storm a brewin
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
The greater Dallas-Fort Worth area, a.k.a. The Metroplex. If I had to guess, there’s probably more use of slangy folksy words on the Fort Worth side. Dallas people are too busy either trying to be Manhattan South or shooting at each other.
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
LOL no word of a lie. When I was in Dallas I said the same thing.
I made 10 grand on mmaplayground in 2 UFC shows so don't question me
Ha ha, they’re even worse when you live here. Where are you from BBBB?
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
whats wrong with reckon
lol hamilton city boy here, and sadly i use reckon and ya’ll just a tad too much lol
I do a lot of jacking off, ya know, because I don’t get no women, so these arms are, like, humongously big. See it’s workout, and it’s pleasure.._" Charles Bennett

Joe's a very likable guy.
I hope he can string some wins together but lw division is very tough.
bj should fight hughes renzo winner thatn gsp. there shoould have been a immediate rematch with greasegate, but it was undermined to avoid loosing gsp’s popularity. Now bj looks so good, and he has finished every title fight at lw. thats impressive fact. BJ looks so good now, if he went balls to the wall from rd 1-5 he could beat gsp. bj penn is great.
2 thing i notice about bj penn. he lets the fight go on so he can beat them up longer….example he could have finished florian at any second of thed fight , on the ground by sub, gomi he could have choked in the first rd when he had his bac, but waited. his corner advised him to wait b4 beating diego.
simple fact is that bj could take down and sub many guys quick,
2nd bj penn lets people push him into the cage , and he shouldnt be on the defense, he should be on the offense always. thats a bad strategy vs gsp, i would either try to take gsp down or outbox him, but never do standing clinches against the cage. it seems like bj imniatiated the clinch in gsp 2 rd 1 within the first seconds of the match..bad idea imo.

BJ deserves another shot at GSP because he is beating midgets at LW?
He needs to win at least 2 maybe 3 fights at WW to be considered a contender. Anything less would be a total joke.

Good post..
But, Bj Has already beaten Renzo and hughes, but does have a bs loss to hughes. Would’nt mind Bj moving up to WW after Edagar to fight hughes, then fitch/Alves then maybe entertaining the idea of GSP – Penn III

i want a rematch only to shut the grease gate crap up..
plus watching bj in shape against gsp would be very exciting..though i still see georges for the W..just not as decisively..
I wouldn't mind seeing BJ get pummeled again.
But he has to earn the right to get smashed by GSP again.
