Funny quote from the head leech, Vadim Finkelstein:

Fedor’s name outside of the U.S. is much bigger than the name of the UFC,” he said. If Fedor comes to the UFC, he’ll make the UFC famous outside of the U.S.

Funny quote from the head leech, Vadim Finkelstein:

Fedors way more famous then Lesner outside the US. He's really popular. But so is Michael Jackson and Ali.

Anyway I gotta go. I'll be at the weigh ins tomorrow. I'll post pics. If anyone wants any thing thats available there PM me. Theres usually alot of fighters there signing stuff to. So just let me know.

Another pm from WASEDO:

You know NASH is a real punk, I'm only 45 mins from the city. I dont know what would of happened, I would of went, I would of went to his so-called party if invited. And I would of respected him alittle more if that were the case. But I case its better that way. Maybe we could of gotten along, luckily he wont find out.

Seriously herb.. stop pm'ing me. I don't care about your sick love for Nash. If you wanna cyberstalk the guy fine, but don't involve me. K.. thanks. And here's the rule about pm's just so you know:

What's with BJ accusing GSP of roiding? He really can't let that one go. Can't say I blame him, but damn.

Sore loser. He's already made two apology videos.

 

[kobayashi93]

Two apology videos? He said it yesterday. Right?

I love some 155 BJ Penn, I sure hope he is focused.

 

[Devil_666]

No.. I think the yahoo article came out yesterday but the actual interview with Kevin Iole was before that. Here's the apology vids:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/J0m1AL8S8MU&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/J0m1AL8S8MU&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Keep in mind, these are really half-assed apologies. Sounds more like BJ is sorry that Kevin Iole focused on the steroid accusations as opposed to BJ being sorry for making such rediculous claims with zero proof.

lol . the guy pm'd me saying i was chicken for not wanting to meet him at a bar to watch the fight. like i'd shaft all my real friends who i actually have respect for, to go see the fight with him. he must be desperate for friends if he has to resort to stalking me on a toy forum. I pity the guy.

eh, imo definitely not a smart move on BJ's part to say that publicly when he knows the interviewer will publish it. Of course there is going to be a backlash from GSP fans or BJ haters.

BUT then again, BJ has never been one to hold back his thoughts or opinions on ANYTHING. I don't know why he did it, but he says it's his opinion which does make sense. All of here have our own "opinions" about him or any other fighter, even if we do not know all the facts or have all the proof so why are we any different?

But in all honesty, you look at guys like GSP and Alves and Sherk, and these guys are chiseled like a freakin sculpture all the time...no different than how Ken shamrock used to look in the day. not very many people can look like this every day of their life and not use some kind of enhancer. even bodybuilders get fat on the off-season.

As for the BJ apology videos, even I can see that he's only doing it to sort of quiet things down, or try to in order to get things focused on what's happening now. the Kenflo fight.

Realistically this really is nothing new. we all know how BJ felt about GSP long before this happened. it just so happens that it is published again, and just adds fuel to the fire for the people who dislike BJ and his public antics.

Well here's the thing. It's like, let's say you don't like Black people. Ok. Fine. That's your personal opinion. We might not agree with that opinion, but it's yours and you're entitled to it. Fine. Thing is, if you work for say Microsoft and you make that same statement now there's a problem. Because right or wrong, the reality is your personal opinion now gets entangled with Microsoft's name. Because you work for them. And after making a statement like that, if Microsoft continues to employ you (again, right or wrong) it looks like they condone that.

Same thing with BJ. His personal opinion is his personal opinion. But when that opinion is about co-workers at the same company, it looks bad for the company. MMA in general already has the stigma of being "human (rooster <--- censored you know the word. lol)-fighting" and there's also been a lot of fighters testing positive for steroids/drugs. That's a negative. So by being an employee of an MMA company and stating you believe a couple of your fellow co-workers use steroids with absolutely no evidence in a public statement not only is that slander but it's not very smart from a business stand point. Because why would a company want to employ someone who bad mouths fellow employees!? That statement makes the UFC and the NSAC look bad. GSP has never tested positive for anything and he's been tested numerous times. So by BJ saying GSP juices, he also saying the NSAC is stupid because they can't catch him and he's also saying the UFC employs a cheater who continually gets away with it.

Not good. I have no doubt that those apology videos were the result of Dana/the UFC "talking" to Penn in a similar fashion to the way Dana "talked" with Lesnar after he bad mouthed their sponser at UFC 100 (Bud Light). Which was equally as stupid. Those sponsors pay your employer, who pay you.

Like I said, right or wrong, when you work for a company especially a high profile company you need to understand your "personal" opinion no longer represents just you. It represents that company as well.

I agree with everything you said. it is definitely a *face palmer* as a BJ fan. But I'm kind of used to it already because the guy just does not have a filter from his brain to mouth lol. much like Dana can't stop swearing no matter how hard he tries. I just think that BJ is very stong minded in that, if he really believes something, he can't let it go.

 

[Devil_666]

Plus it doesn't help that the guy BJ bad mouths the most is 2 - 0 against him.

Cant wait for Dream 11, I wonder if the Mousasi fight is back on since Dana and The UFC sent the court order to stop him fighting in Strike Force

Shinya Aoki vs Joachim Hansen

Gegard Mousasi vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou

Ronaldo Jacare vs. Jason “Mayhem” Miller

I'll take Hansen, Mousasi and Mayhem FTW.

 

[Devil_666]

Mousasi vs. Babalu is still on the Aug. 15 Strikeforce card. And Jacare signed with Strikeforce as well.. so he's no longer fighting Jason Miller.

 

[kobayashi93]

Just watched the weigh ins. Kinda strange seeing Silva and Penn get booed there. Penn got it bad.

 

[Darth Rage]

Jacare signed with Strikeforce as well.. so he's no longer fighting Jason Miller.

That's disappointing I was looking forward to their rematch.

 

[Darth Rage]

Just watched the weigh ins. Kinda strange seeing Silva and Penn get booed there. Penn got it bad.

I'm not surprised hearing that Silva got booed. a lot of people are disappointed with his last two fights, plus he's fighting Forest who is very popular.

I am surprised at Penn getting booed though. I guess fans are finally getting fed up with his "big mouth". I wonder if his latest steroid comments in regard to GSP put fans over the edge. I thought he came across very well in the preview show that aired on Spike weds. For the most part he seemed humble and renewed as a fighter. I'm not really a big Penn fan because of some things he's said, but I really thought that he came across well.

UFC fans can be fickle I guess.

 

[Devil_666]

Dana White confirmed Tito Ortiz will be fighting Mark Coleman for his first fight back. Honestly.. I could see Coleman winning that fight.

Dana also said Wandy will most likely be fighting in October. In England, which I hope will be free on SpikeTV.

Also, starting around Jan. SpikeTV will start airing a "Best of PRIDE" show. Dana - “We have to make a lot of money to make up for what we paid for that f--ker.”

 

[Devil_666]

The Nick Diaz vs Jay Heiron fight scheduled for the Aug 15 Strikeforce show in San Jose may be off pending results of a drug test. Diaz is scheduled to take the test Monday.

Diaz was scheduled to take a pre-fight drug test tonight in order to get licensed and no showed. Caesar Gracie stated Wednesday that Diaz would appear for the test tonight in Sacramento. Neither Diaz nor Caesar showed up for the test and representatives for Diaz said Diaz was "busy training".

Because of the time required to get test results back, CSAC believes the test would have had to be taken tonight. Strikeforce was contacted and promised Diaz would appear for the test Monday. CSAC has agreed to this new date but has stated there is a good chance test results will not be back in time to license him for the show.

Sweet lord. Problems on top of problems. First Riggs can't fight (injury) then Overeem (injury) then Josh Thompson (injury) and now even with Heiron as a replacement that fight might not happen.

This Strikeforce even is cursed.
