You know, I use to think that BJ Penn was this awesome fighter and he was for about a minute. Now, he acts like he doesn't even need to train. I agree that JSP won that fight as he should because he actually trained for it.

Whatever. It was another takedown event. Maybe someday GSP will give us a stand up fight like a lot of the other fighters are doing. Takem down and grind them out with elbows. Boring. I hope BJ smashes Ken-Blo all over the cage in August.

I tought from the announcement of the fight that gsp was better and still i dont think vaseline had anything to do with the result

with all of that said I kind of feel for BJ. My mind changed while doing research for last weeks Nick Diaz Fight.

I watched Nick Diaz loose to a Diego Sanchez that was greased before during and even after the fight. Not sure if it was diego sanchez or fonzy when looking at the hair before the fight starts

then I started thinking why does dana put blame on the trainers and not GSP. That is because he knows Greg Jackson as been accused in the past.

if BJ would of atacked greg jacksons credibility I think he might of had more succes.

My opinion as been that these controversies will help a young sport evolve.

All I have to say is cheating is cheating, dose not matter if it would have changed the out come of the fight or not, GSP may still have won the fight, but the fact remains the same that his Corner cheated, so what all of you is saying is because it would not have change the out come of the fight and GSP would have still won that it is ok that his Corner cheated, and the only reason that Dana White is not doing anything about it is because GSP is his MONEY BOY, I am not saying this because I am a BJ fan, because I am really not, his corner cheated and got caught and a punishment should be handed down, plain and simple, nice roll model for the youngsters DANA!

Penn's legs slipped off GSP more than 20 times with obviously no grease in the rematch. Penn fans are pu**ys.

well you dont see it often and that is a fighter going up in weight class ,BJ PENN i hand you credit for getting in there with GSP and not backing down , i dont know if you all know this but BJ PENN has fought THE DRAGON MACHIDA in pride at 200 pounds in japan and he lost by split decision oh yea and GSP cheated plain and simple in the BJ fight,,,GSP looked to be stronger and training harder but he still used grease all over him self, yea he must have been real confident, he was supposed to be a roll model ,now im my eyes he is a cheat , and im sure he knew what was going on ,,it looks to me he was scared of the ground game and rubber gaurd and he took it away with the grease,, i used to like GSP but after that he is a phony and he is going to get his ass handed to him by the PIT BULL in his next fight ,,BJ SAID IT BEST ,,,george when you go home tonight and get in to bed why dont you just go f--k yourself for about a half hour ,,YOU CHEATING SlIME BAG

penn's problem the prodigy has gotten to his head. he doesnt train. he has started training more now than he did in the past but the rest of the fighters live in the gym bj lives on his surf board. if bj trained as hard as everyone else and stay in his weight class he is really good. gsp is just to strong and fast for him bj could possibly make it more interesting if he trained harder but gsp will still win. the reason white had gsp's back so much was because it was a known fact that penn spent more time on the beach partyin than he did in the gym. its also a known fact that white talked to penn months in advance prior to the fight about that issue and penn changed nothing about his training habits

That's like saying that a baseball team won a game by 5 runs and the guy with the loaded bat only accounted for 3 of them. Being greased gives a fighter an advantage over his opponent. Did it decide the case in this fight? Possibly not. But, how many other closer fights did gsp win because of the advantage of being greased. Referees should check each fighter at the beginning of each round to make sure no grease was applied.

First to climber, since you're not a mma fan - go watch boxing. Wrestling, take-downs and ground and pound is what made mixed marial arts. Go to some boxing/kick boxing site to complain - mma is about the ground game as much as stand up. if you become knowledgable about the sport, you'll realize that.

BJ Penn should have taken his beating like a man. Too bad GSP has so much more class and couldm't act like Penn does when he wins. Once again Penn shows his true character, and it's hard to think much of it. GSP dismanteled and dominated Penn. He took Penn down at will, passed guard at will and often before hitting the mat, out struck Penn - there was no place Penn was GSP's equal. He had his brother stop the fight. He wasn't a "warrior" and fight to the end. Penn has no business fighting above light weight, even though he fought at the weight he walks around at if he's training, (168). I'm sure if Penn wasn't training he'd be 185 easy, he needs to stick with fighting guys a lot smaller than him. Anybody who watched that fight and thinks a little dab of vasoline on a right shoulderbade made any difference or affected the fight, doesn't have a clue what was going on in that fight.

BJ is exactly what it stands for. Penn got his ass whipped and is giving everyone he can think of a bl0w j*b to take his side while he cries us a river.

I seen the fight and I think BJ had a legitimate beef.His legs kept sliding every time he tried to lock him up.rematch is the only way to settle this matter !

Eric, Penn didn't show talent or heart. he's a quitter. He knew what his brother's reaction would be, he had his brother quit for him. Vasoline could be a real issue if GSP was greasing his legs to avoid a take down, but that's not the case. GSP landed in side control more than full guard, which I think occured twice. Penn wasn't able to move forward thru GSP's strikes, thats where the fight was made. He clubbed Penn pretty good before taking him down. When Penn knew he was gonna get a butt kicking, he started crying about the vasoline. The Nevada Athletic Commission wiped GSP down. Penn is a classless act in victory or defeat, and it's a pleasure to see him squirm with his intregity in defeat. He's a loser that quit, plain and simple.

>>>So basically, you don't care to acknowledge the rule. Ok, that's your right.>"Vasoline could be a real issue if GSP was greasing his legs to avoid a take down"
BJ never had any intention of going for a takedown!?! The back and shoulders is exactly where the vasoline would benefit GSP the most.>"When Penn knew he was gonna get a butt kicking, he started crying about the vasoline"
Penn didn't even know about the Vasoline until after the fight! Liddell, Mir, Dana and others were the ones complaining about the vasoline.>You're obviously biased. I've done nothing but state facts and present evidence. All you've done is slander BJ. This is only a blog so that's your right, but it isn't correct ... nor is it just.
