    in that first Show Dana White could not have made GSP look any better or BJ Penn look any worse, i was shocked it was like the WWE.

    ME TOO! He's a cocky SOB but he backs his **** up. he reminds me of James Toney in a way. I'm calling for BJ to show George a few things this weekend. Not to say GSP can't win....he's a great fighter with a **** load of talent. I just think BJ is going to win with his stand up! Surprise GSP and make it a war!

    :lol: James Toney: "Anyone, I'll knock out anyone, from Flyweight to yo' momma's weight!" :rofl:rofl:rofl

    I like the arrogance from Penn. And I love that he called out White on his bull****! "Nobody from outside my camp is gonna question my training habits, what do you want a slap from me?" :rofl:rofl:rofl

    I'm a huge GSP fan, but I hope BJ pulls this out! :deal

    In MMA...Yea...BJ is my favorite too. He's a natrual fighter. He loves it and you can tell. In boxing I have some favs too and James Toney for that reason is why I love to watch him as well. Prime JT and Penn are absolute cream of the crop in their respective sports!

    Hell yeah we do. BJ's personality is so obnoxious he leaves no gray area, you either like him or you don't. And that's what Boxing and MMA need. They need characters the public can relate to, because they don't have the "team brand" other sports do.

    You can watch the show and at the end of the 3 episodes come away with "wow GSP is in great shape, seems like a good guy and is very skilled"....but with BJ your gonna come away with 1 of 2 things "I hope he ****s GSP up" or "I hope this guy gets his ****ing ass kicked" :deal

    Yeah but his opinion has no bearing on the fight (barring conspiracy theories that he's going to fix it with the officials or something).

    He's just in the position of a color analyst when interviewed about a fight, that's not him acting in an official capacity as a Zuffa executive, just as an MMA talking head.

    BJ is the ****.

    All this talk about him cracking is bull****. He needs a grudge to get himself motivated, like he did against Sherk. He is so naturally gifted he is prone to underpreperation. If he is fired up and got his game head on GSP is ****ed, anyone anywhere near his weight class is ****ed if BJ brings his A game.

    You can make a serious case for Fedor, St-Pierre, Penn, and Silva all being number one.

    I think Penn will be fine. He might find some stamina problems in the 4th and 5th rounds but he won't gass in the 2nd round this time.

    Penn believes everything he says. True fighter.

    This is a guy who wants to move up to 185 and fight Anderson Silva.
    BJ Penn would look like Israel Kamakawiwo'ole at that weight! His head already looks like a beach ball at 170lb.

    Penn's awesome. Dana's always been a dick- nothing new here. As for the fight, GSP's got this. His fitness and natural ability will be too much in the later rounds against Penn.:good
