The Legend

All he is doing is hyping up the fight even though he doesn't need to in my opinion.

It seems like almost every boxer does this before there fights and they don't have people whining about how he should be respectful.

I'm really surprised you guys are getting so upset and reacting the way you are.

You'd think you guys have never seen a BJ Penn fight before by some of the comments.

BJ hypes fights and talks shit. That's what he does and honestly I don't care that he does that because he goes in and gets it done so it doesn't matter.

My point is it's all just to hype the fight and nothing we haven't seen before so just calm down.

The thing I find funny is that the main people that bitch about BJ talking shit are doing EXACTLY what BJ wants them to do and that's talk about him. Even if you want to talk shit about how he is talking shit (yet claim what he is doing is bad but what you are doing is ok) you are still talking about him therefore feeding into what he wants and making the likelihood of him talking more shit greater.

I don't care that BJ said he was going to fight GSP to the death or that he was going to lick the blood off his hands after fighting Sean Serk, but unfounded steroid accusations is crossing the line in my opinion. Let the NSAC worry about testing for 'roids and keep focused on doing your job.

No sensible fan will believe GSP is on roids unless its proven, but it was still a classless move on BJs part.

As for what he said about GSP's trainer, that's just part of the hype.

I'm amazed that you're amazed. I thought this comment was funny as hell. GSP's trainer has been talking smack and BJ just threw some back at him. I've always questioned whether GSP has used roids (Randy too and he's one of my favorites). I don't think his aim in life is to be a great ambassador for the sport. That's why we have Randy, GSP, and Rich.

Unlike everyone else I don't think this is hype at all. I think this is BJ being BJ. It's not like he jumped on the radio and just started talking before the hosts said anything. He's asked questions specifically for the answer and he was being real. He's not the only 1 who thinks GSP is on roids. And if someone using a media to talk trash about me I'm sure as hell gonna send it back that way. Alot of people are saying BJ's a dick but I respect his skill. I respect BJ's skill and that he doesn't feel the need to censor his feelings when asked. He adds color to a sport that has the same carbon copy answers before and after every fight.

I'm getting really annoyed with this trash talking.

I'm also getting really annoyed with people saying, "Oh, he's just hyping the fight," like that's some excuse not to show a little class.

Does anyone want to take another look at what BJ actually said?

Notice the word "without".

BJ is like a better Junie Browning. Talks the same talk, but he can back it up a little better that Junie.

I am super hyped for this fight no matter which way it goes!
