Wow...
That douche bag Kilmeade kind of took it a little far there at the end, wtf? BJ should’ve broke his arm off.
haha wtf.
He was going 100% on BJ lol. He’s lucky BJ didn’t take out his frustrations on him.

The idiot judge who scored all 5 rounds for Frankie, is getting uin trouble for talking shit to fans on twitter:
this is up on BE.
Doug Crosby’s in a lot of trouble right now because apparently Doug Crosby went on the Internet and was trolling people on the Internet, you know, and making fun of them and all this, you know as far as they’re ripping on him and he’s making fun of them and that is conduct unbecoming a judge and I know several of the commissions called him and then UFC called him as well and they told him to, you know, do not be, you know… GET OFF THE INTERNET and there’s a lot of commissions right now very upset about judges on the Internet.
Dave Meltzerrevealed on his radio show that UFC 112 judge, Douglas Crosby, is in hot water after posting on the UG forums
Haha
That’s funny shit, look how he’s bucking his back trying to get up! How funny if bj popped his shoulder out his socket then pounded him out, hilarious!!!!!
War bj props for his attitude and also his control here haha

forget the judge getting in trouble for talking shit on the internet, that stupid ass should be getting in trouble for scoring a fight with his eyes closed..

ya close enough, lol but really
..That was a painful quote to read. You obviously know JRoc from above there, but I’m curious, do you or anyone else remember where he got his start? I used to watch Jonovision all the time growing up lol. Wicked show.

HERE IS THE VIDEO SHOT BY BJ'S CAMERA
This video is another minute longer so you can see the reaction etc.
It went to decision, BJ lost
Lesnar > [Carwin] ---> Lesnar > [Velasquez] ---> Lesnar > [JDS]
Overeem will NOT show up on May 15th! Mark my words. Sig stays til then.
hahahaha
that guy is a deuche. The look on BJs face was hilarious, like “is this guy for real???”
and another thing i noticed:
BJ’s face looks nothing like a man who lost a 5 round fight three days ago.
Further proof to a shitty (pardon my french) decision.
I'm just glad BJ's not in the hospital still fighting off that sinus infection.

Lesnar > [Carwin] ---> Lesnar > [Velasquez] ---> Lesnar > [JDS]
Overeem will NOT show up on May 15th! Mark my words. Sig stays til then.
that title would have been a lot better 3 days ago.
And I have a moral obligation to society to beat him up. He is a dirtbag anyway, whether he went out there and shook hands and was gracious or he didn't. Who cares? I don't know why sportsmanship needs to be involved, anyways. It's a fight - go do whatever you want. So, yes, I will do whatever I want. And when my music hits those speakers, I will make that walk and answer for my words

HaHa
Glad to see BJ back to his old self after the controversial decision…wat was that reporter like 170?The rest of the welter weights had to be like “what in the world am i gonna do with that” after watching this vid.
It looks like they cut the vid short...
there seemed to be like an awkward nervousness with the other reporters like they didnt know if BJ was going to really hurt the guy or what …..lol
HAHA
If you notice really closely at the end, you can hear the reporter say “Hey, its just pretend!” I don’t know if it was the reporter that came over and he was nervous about Penn really hurting him, or the one on the ground telling that guy to back off. Either way it was funny lol. The chick looked scared shitless near the end.
One thing I would like people to note, there weren’t any excuses coming out of Penn’s lips when asked what happened. Good for him. The loss didn’t diminish BJ at all in my book, how he handle’s his next couple camps/fights will.
I agree 100%
I personally think he was out of shape for this one….but if he bounces back strong, it’s no big deal.

-Nike
You guys. .
Are taking this way to seriously. I thought it was funny as heck and give the guy credit for fighting off his back. That’s a lot more than a lot of UFC fighters can say recently.
Exactly Haglnuts
I thought it was great! The time was taken to promote BJ n’ Martial Arts, and the pads were on the floor so they knew what they were getting into… can’t believe these knuckleheads above r Ripping on the reporter….
oh of course it was coming but...
…I do feel Penn assumed this guy wasn’t going to go balls to the walls. I think he truly thought he had a chance against BJ without being able to punch etc. If you watch the longer one on Penns site, after its done they get up and the reporter continues to kinda like put Penn in a headlock and kinda keeps attempting to make himself look unfazed.
Grade A clown

Too funny
Ok so now BJ wants to shoot? If only he had that kind of game plan for Edgar.
" I AM A SHARK, THE GROUND IS MY OCEAN, AND MOST PEOPLE CANT EVEN SWIM"
BJ was pure class during this interview and showed that he has a sense of humour. Hel’l be back with a vengeance…best pound for pund in the world!! Funny presenter. reminds me of the reporter interviewing Machida and Shogun before their first fight…class!!
Interesting Fact
Brian Kilmeade was the Play-by-Play analyst for UFC 2 and UFC 3 in the 90’s.
its like the 1st thing mentioned
…under the video if you watch it from Penns site.

Why was the chick...
counting 1, 2, 3 likes it’s fucking pro wrestling. Mainstream ignorance at it’s best.
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won... but still avoids the UFC!
that chick is an idiot
Jon Stewart is constantly mocking that chick. She is a walking talking contradiction. She boos the dems for doing things and then cheers the reps for doing it months later or vice versa when the reps do something and the dems do it later she’s angered at such incompetence. she’s a real dumb ass. A total puppet.
This
was a great interview…BJ was pretty good about the reporter. The reporter was trying to get BJ and I think BJ went for the Kimura just to stop him from attacking…Hahaha. Good to see BJ in good spirits. I don’t think he made excuses for losing this fight, his trainer said he was fighting off a sinus infection but did not say that it was the reason he lost the fight if I’m not mistaken. I hope BJ comes back strong because he finally handled defeat like a MAN!!!
I may even check out the book. By the way, thanks for the extra video Syncro it showed that they were only playing around at the end.
Yea, good points
And you know, I hope Bj reads forums like this and realizes that accepting defeat can gain you more respect than winning

it goes to show
no matter how great the preperation and training camp is leading up to the fight, which is about half the battle …………..the most important thing is how do you feel on the day of the fight. Did you get 8hrs sleep are feeling good mentally physicaly & emotionally.
I cant wait to see this rematch because BJ is the better fighter by far they are on different levels
and as wind of bj’s pre-fight ailments get to dana and joe S they will be that much more inclined to set that fight ASAP
sorry maynard your dream will continue to be out of reach because penn will reclaim the LW belt before years end
Sending a Message
he shoulda popped his shoulder.. sent a message to the WWs
Now you're looking for the secret. But you won’t find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.
UPDATE
If Sherdog is to be believed, there will be a Late Summer/Fall rematch.
After a minor genealogical search, I have determined that Cain Velasquez's great-grandfather was a truck.
And Mirko Cro Cop is a direct descendant of a wrecking ball. But I think you already knew that.
hope that's the case BJ really deserves it.
I’ve been watching mma for too many yrs now and i can’t believe how cool ppl seem to be with that decision, me and my friends went completely nutz..
last name ever, first name greatest.
like a sprained ankle, boy i ain't nothin to play with.
The only reason people are cool with it is because it is BJ. He is one of the most hated men in MMA.
And it was a close fight. I would have been cool with the decision either way.
It’s not like BJ killed Edgar. Why wouldn’t people be cool with it?
AND NEW UFC LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD FRANKIE 'THE ANSWER' EDGAR
ok let me rephrase that, 50-45 and 49-46 was something that i wasn't cool with.
I don’t care that much for BJ, i knew it was going 5 rounds after i saw how sloppy he was getting, he’s got his jab and counter hooks but he’s not good at going after someone or delivering fight ending combo’s.
It would be good to see some more structured judging, it would help mma and the UFC and let ppl have an idea of how the fight is gonna end before we actually get to hear the decision, the “it could have gone either way” line is lame and the only consistent thing right now.
g2g sleep now, ciao.
last name ever, first name greatest.
like a sprained ankle, boy i ain't nothin to play with.
Really?? Doesn't seem like he's hated
Whenever Penn fights (and he’s in shape), he puts on a show. He always seems to be the crowd favorite. Yea, some people got pissed about his excuses regarding the GSP loss but other than that I think Penn is one of the most popular fighters in MMA.

Wow
That was hella funny. BJ made him look like a little girl or something. I really wanted to see that dude tap out from the kimura lock.
like i said on the shamrock post, im a new member but i have been following you guys for a few years. And im not biased whatsover but i have the honor of meeting bj and his brother at ufc 94 and they were very humble. But i was at the gsp after party, even though he showed almost at closing time it was an awesome experience.
sorry new to this, are the yellow post the new posts?

yes yellow is new
Very helpful for when you read all the posts and are simply coming back to see if ppl replied to you.

The Rematch
Will hopefully be a massacre….sick or not Penn will take it via RNC
Sorry But
Pretty Boy beat you to that same prediction in the first loss Penn had to Edgar. Reality and conditioning says that Edgar does the same thing to Pudgy the second time around.
by NJMMAFan on Apr 14, 2010 8:53 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
lol again congrats NJMMAfan
But I still don’t see it. All the power to Edgar if he does, but I just am not convinced. Also did you notice prettyboy91 simply re-joined as prettylala91? Lol clown.

i just dont care
Unless someones being racist I’m not gonna flag em’, and even so, Mania seems to monitor VERY closely and catches stuff fairly quickly. Plus I don’t mind giving the odd moron his deserved verbal ass kicking at times.

Uhh but Midgy didn't actually beat Pudgy..
What’s that old saying again? To be the man, you have got to beat the man?
The midget circled, threw some jabs, about four leg kicks, and two “take-downs.”
The bottom-line is that nobody TRULY thinks he won that championship, and even more true, he won’t sell half the tickets that a Penn promoted title-fight would sell.
BOOOUUUURNS.
I'm not sure where the myth comes from about title fights, but you don't have to do anything special to win compared to other fights.
It’s still the same rules. If he won the fight, he won the fight.
Why does everyone think a guy has to beat a champion any worse than a normal fighter to win?
AND NEW UFC LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD FRANKIE 'THE ANSWER' EDGAR
50 - 45 & 49 - 46?
I can’t believe 2 judges gave Edgar at least 4 rounds. That is crazy! Then again I am not a judge but that fight was much closer than what the judges scored it that is for sure.
