I love hearing about ex opponents training with each other. Reminds me of Gatti/Ward. Trilogy of wars that brought fighters closer together. No ego’s or trash talk. This is what fighting is all about.
I love the way Hughes and BJ have become such good friends now after their rivalry. Two truly classy fighters that are legends for a reason. War Hughes and BJ!
Gotta admire the maturity of these guys. Hughes and Penn fight and beat eachother up 3 fucking times, and theres not only no animostiy, but they can train together and try to help eachother improve. Thats true professionalism.
Helwani is a good reporter, he doesn't waste time with dumb question. Yeah sometimes those people need to be given respect for doing a good job when so many do it wrong
When BJ Penn is talking to himself, slapping himself on his way to the cage you know your in for one hell of a fight. I hope that BJ Penn shows up on Saturday.
im like everyone else, i want gsp vs silva! but the fact is okami is in line for a shot and jon fitch no doubt deserves another crack at gsp before he moves up (if he beats shields). it makes alot of sense for anderson to fight okami this summer and gsp (if he wins) against fitch/penn in lae summer early spring, then if all goes as planned, GSP vs SILVA early 2012!
Telling FItch he has to win this next fight for a title shot is death to the fans. That means he will not even try to finish. He will try not to lose at all costs. The excitement rests on BJ's shoulders.
GSP vs BJ IIII would be a joke....GSP would piss all over him again. Someone like Alves would wreck BJ to, Fitch will end his little hype he gained by KO'ing over the hill Hughes.
War BJ!!!!!!! Fitch is obviously gonna be a really tough fight, but I have faith that BJ is in a good place phyically, mentally, and technically. U can't really take too much from his last fight with Hughes other than he has great striking and heavy hands (2 things we already knew). I just have this gut feeling that BJ will pull this one out in impressive fashion. He's a once in a lifetime type of fighter and I always love to watch him fight. Penn fan4life.
@dohertyz Sure about that? I'm certain GSP would know when to get out of guard if he felt a triangle coming on. Besides, GSP is so much bigger than Penn, I bet he could slam out of it as well.
Anything can happen Its MMA. You Win some you lose some. You get back to the gym and keep practicing. All it takes is one stirke, one wrong move and its over. I love these guys. For the courage to step into a Cage and let it all out all in there regardless the outcome. GSP, BJ, Or Fitch there all Heroes. Just ask the Troops. Enough with the racist comments. The Cage does not care. You bleed, cry, and sometimes feel like you almost die in there. The Cage does not care. My best wishes to all.
@TheMrpalid The thing is not all of GSP's fights are all decisions. The reason Fitch gets so much flak is because nearly all his fights go to decision.
@ihatebobsaget1989 I hate fighters that grind out win after win....you know sometimes its necessary but Fitch has made a career out of it. I just hope BJ can avoid the take down early (we know he has great take down defence) and maybe land a few right hands on Fitch.
@Cosmictalk it's very smart when you think about it....obviously BJ has to worry about Fitch's wrestling, and why not bring in one of the best wrestlers in UFC history?...there's no more animosity between Hughes and Penn, and even after beating Hughes last time, BJ said that Hughes was an idol of his...guys can face each other and train together without animosity...this is a sport first and foremost...don't be so negative lol
If this was title fight BJ would have surrendered in the 4th. Fitch is so underrated.This guy is a relentless predator, only defeated once by the uber fighter GSP.
@FrankGarrett316 Do you even know what Fitch looks like? Also, the guy you pointed out was wearing a BJ Penn shirt. It's doesn't get anymore clueless than that.
@dohertyz Of course! Cause he took down Fitch, he can beat anybody! Fedor and Alistair are scared shitless hoping that BJ never decides to go up to Heavyweight.
@dohertyz Everyone has issues whether they choose to realize them or not. One question, the highest rated comment on here is pleading to a higher power to have Fitch lose. Why don't you tell him that that's an unhealthy thing to wish for?
@dohertyz Think about it. If I go get help, the psychiatrist will most likely try to turn this into something positive and the months upon months of rehabilitation would make me crack and I'd be rooting for BJ as a drone.
i think bj is gonna be one of those fighters who improve with age. Hes always had the technical and physical tools but lacked the mental game. I think hes starting to mature as a person and is gonna have a good run in the next few years then retire.
@hoodfigga33 Are you kidding me!!! BJ penn will go down as a legend if not for any of his other accomplishments then JUST for his dismantling of Diego Sanchez! EPIC!
Everyone complains about Fitch's boring style, well look at the champ in the division. He does the exact same thing and has been a long time champ, so Fitch sees this as the best strategy
@dohertyz Not at all. I mean, if that's what you think then I guess? You said it's unhealthy to pray for ones downfall, I'm saying well their must've been alot of unhealthy people back in the 40's cause they were praying for a man's downfall.
@TheMrpalid I personally would never criticize a guy who sticks to a game plan & wins but GSP is MUCH more versitile & can win in different ways than Fitch..Comparing the two is far fetched
@DSAoftheSS man first of all who's talking about cheating?? Then BJ Penn, Matt Hughes and George St.Pierre are admirable. How can you disrespect Bj Penn, he have acomplished to be champion in 2 divisions on UFC, not to many people can say they've done that, besides what have you acomplished??
I love hearing about ex opponents training with each other. Reminds me of Gatti/Ward. Trilogy of wars that brought fighters closer together. No ego’s or trash talk. This is what fighting is all about.
I love the way Hughes and BJ have become such good friends now after their rivalry. Two truly classy fighters that are legends for a reason. War Hughes and BJ!
B.J. is such a chill dude. If it was up to me that would be his nick name. Chillex Penn
Gotta admire the maturity of these guys. Hughes and Penn fight and beat eachother up 3 fucking times, and theres not only no animostiy, but they can train together and try to help eachother improve. Thats true professionalism.
I see an amazing fight coming our way.
Helwani is a good reporter, he doesn't waste time with dumb question. Yeah sometimes those people need to be given respect for doing a good job when so many do it wrong
When BJ Penn is talking to himself, slapping himself on his way to the cage you know your in for one hell of a fight. I hope that BJ Penn shows up on Saturday.
what time will 127 be on if youre in the US?
MR Fitch.."Tear down this blanket wall"
I was at UFC 123. Shit got wild when he took out hughes.
BJ seems blazed out of his mind
Penn bringing in Huges to help him train.....shits gonna hit the fan.
BJ has one of the weirdest jawlines in MMA... it's hypnotising.
He seems more humble now too actually... Which is nice.
im like everyone else, i want gsp vs silva! but the fact is okami is in line for a shot and jon fitch no doubt deserves another crack at gsp before he moves up (if he beats shields). it makes alot of sense for anderson to fight okami this summer and gsp (if he wins) against fitch/penn in lae summer early spring, then if all goes as planned, GSP vs SILVA early 2012!
I hope BJ gets every good thing about matts wrestling, and I hope Matt gets all the good thing of BJs striking
@TemplarX2 Agreed. BJ should be happy that two judges thought it was a draw.
Telling FItch he has to win this next fight for a title shot is death to the fans. That means he will not even try to finish. He will try not to lose at all costs. The excitement rests on BJ's shoulders.
Bj is the underdog, so i'm rooting for him.
@dohertyz I thought that's what was supposed to happen to Frankie last April and then back in August?
if BJ somehow manages to finish Fitch let alone win by UD, he is SUPER MAN in my book.
Killer shirt.
Right on BJ... now WHOOP some ass and win the title one more time! I may not have been a fan in the past, but now I am... Get it on!
@dohertyz Sorry, can't see it happening. Expect it to look like Fitch-Thiago 2.
BJs come back.
letss gooo
@jbillycrack damn that was just so funny and original...like totally man great job.
@dohertyz So if you admit BJ was tired. Why even bring up him setting up a triangle on GSP when already knowing BJ won't lock it in cause he's tired?
GO BJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@dohertyz Address?
GSP vs BJ IIII would be a joke....GSP would piss all over him again. Someone like Alves would wreck BJ to, Fitch will end his little hype he gained by KO'ing over the hill Hughes.
War BJ!!!!!!! Fitch is obviously gonna be a really tough fight, but I have faith that BJ is in a good place phyically, mentally, and technically.

I just have this gut feeling that BJ will pull this one out in impressive fashion. He's a once in a lifetime type of fighter and I always love to watch him fight. Penn fan4life.
if BJ fights GSP again and defeats him, he is a VAMPIRE in my book.
@karan6 but I think thats another reason the UFC wants to move GSP up a division so that BJ wont face him again
@VegasDannyReturns he has that punchers chance he hits hard, but it most likely will go to decision.
@LilBlitz116 Well, what about the Hardy fight? GSP just looked like he wanted to lay there for 25 minutes and keep his belt
@dohertyz Sure about that? I'm certain GSP would know when to get out of guard if he felt a triangle coming on. Besides, GSP is so much bigger than Penn, I bet he could slam out of it as well.
Anything can happen Its MMA. You Win some you lose some. You get back to the gym and keep practicing. All it takes is one stirke, one wrong move and its over. I love these guys.

@TheMrpalid The thing is not all of GSP's fights are all decisions. The reason Fitch gets so much flak is because nearly all his fights go to decision.
lmao 3:57 Jon Fitch is right there....
@dohertyz I'm sure GSP knew he was never in any real danger of getting choked out.
crowd went crazy when BJ knocked out Hughes
Wait do bj have gray hair on his beard
@ihatebobsaget1989 I hate fighters that grind out win after win....you know sometimes its necessary but Fitch has made a career out of it. I just hope BJ can avoid the take down early (we know he has great take down defence) and maybe land a few right hands on Fitch.
BJ PENN IS A BADASS
@TheBrindleBoxer doesnt mattter because Jake Shields will win the belt n those would be new matches
damn you fools get on here quick
@dohertyz You mean to tell me your not already?
@dohertyz I know. Cause he took Fitch down, TWICE!
BJ is mad chill, hope he beats Fitch.
@dohertyz I'd rather not cause I'd probably end up rooting for BJ. Can't let that happen.
@TroutMaskReplicaa he stores a building brick in there sideways,...so it hurts when ya hit it,..
@dohertyz That a fact? What if I live in Ireland or some village in Africa?
@dohertyz So can Martin Kampmann.
@dohertyz I'll bring it all the way to the 4th round!
@Cosmictalk it's very smart when you think about it....obviously BJ has to worry about Fitch's wrestling, and why not bring in one of the best wrestlers in UFC history?...there's no more animosity between Hughes and Penn, and even after beating Hughes last time, BJ said that Hughes was an idol of his...guys can face each other and train together without animosity...this is a sport first and foremost...don't be so negative lol
I love BJ hes The best
@dohertyz Seriously? If so, You are the first Penn fan I know to admit it.
@dohertyz Lol. Define "To the death."
@dohertyz I know. Clearly there is something wrong with me, I'm a sick person.
If this was title fight BJ would have surrendered in the 4th. Fitch is so underrated.This guy is a relentless predator, only defeated once by the uber fighter GSP.
@dohertyz Nah. Paulo Thiago and the Diaz Bros. have been more active and aggresive then BJ.
@dohertyz I think it was a gillion times.
@FrankGarrett316 Do you even know what Fitch looks like? Also, the guy you pointed out was wearing a BJ Penn shirt. It's doesn't get anymore clueless than that.
@dohertyz What?
@dohertyz Of course! Cause he took down Fitch, he can beat anybody! Fedor and Alistair are scared shitless hoping that BJ never decides to go up to Heavyweight.
@dohertyz Everyone has issues whether they choose to realize them or not. One question, the highest rated comment on here is pleading to a higher power to have Fitch lose. Why don't you tell him that that's an unhealthy thing to wish for?
@dohertyz That doesn't make sense.
BJ has one of the weirdest jawlines in MMA... it's hypnotising.
@dohertyz Think about it. If I go get help, the psychiatrist will most likely try to turn this into something positive and the months upon months of rehabilitation would make me crack and I'd be rooting for BJ as a drone.
i think bj is gonna be one of those fighters who improve with age. Hes always had the technical and physical tools but lacked the mental game. I think hes starting to mature as a person and is gonna have a good run in the next few years then retire.
God almighty this didn't age well
@hoodfigga33 No I'm quite sure penn will be remembered as a fighter who has held titles in multiple divisions.
Matt Hughes training BJ Penn? Wow. Look out Fitch.
@dohertyz Huh. I thought you were.
@troutmaskreplicaa dude, look at the latest Helwani interview with Sotiropulos, his chin is even weirder!
@420smoknjoe how can you disrespect Matt Hughes, he was GSP's Idol and was the first person who beated GSP
BJ is right, Fitch is gonna leave his comfort zoone of wrestling to try and impress people with a finish, that could open stuff up for Bj
@dohertyz It's so sweet cause he's actually trying XD
I want BJ to win this fight but it will be hard for him
@dohertyz You mean to say don't pray on BJ's downfall.
@hoodfigga33 Are you kidding me!!! BJ penn will go down as a legend if not for any of his other accomplishments then JUST for his dismantling of Diego Sanchez! EPIC!
@dohertyz Cause I'm not agreeing with you that Penn is the best off his back in the WW division? U mad.
@dohertyz Don't be scared, homie.
@dohertyz True, but I bet you were one of the millions who thought BJ would emerge victorious both times.
@TroutMaskReplicaa It's why you couldn't knock BJ out if you had a sledge hammer.
Everyone complains about Fitch's boring style, well look at the champ in the division. He does the exact same thing and has been a long time champ, so Fitch sees this as the best strategy
@dohertyz Not at all. I mean, if that's what you think then I guess? You said it's unhealthy to pray for ones downfall, I'm saying well their must've been alot of unhealthy people back in the 40's cause they were praying for a man's downfall.
BJ Penn Knock His Ass out Fast. No Beat his ass for 15 min and silence the critics :) good luck you will win
as if fitch will try to impress the crowd, hes just goin to do what he always does lay and pray
Bj Penn will submit John Fitch, and I would do anything for an oportunity to train with Matt Hughes, Bj Penn or George St.Pierre
@dohertyz I didn't. We agreed, silly willy head.
@TheMrpalid I personally would never criticize a guy who sticks to a game plan & wins but GSP is MUCH more versitile & can win in different ways than Fitch..Comparing the two is far fetched
@michaelchimique Your comment made no sence, somebody please translate!
@dohertyz And that is why you'll never understand why.
@dohertyz BJ isn't black. He's Hawaiian
Ariel is the man
@dohertyz I'm sure everyone who watched it found it prety funny. Except for BJ and Mama Penn.
Fitch was going for Decision win, but Bj Penn spoiled it with a draw!
@DSAoftheSS man first of all who's talking about cheating??
Then BJ Penn, Matt Hughes and George St.Pierre are admirable.
How can you disrespect Bj Penn, he have acomplished to be champion in 2 divisions on UFC, not to many people can say they've done that, besides what have you acomplished??
@moh490234890238490 well he came back and gave serra the same treatment by serving him a tko loss of his own
@dohertyz Why? Not confident you can shut me up over teh kompooter?
@dohertyz More like, till the end of the 4th round XD
