Anybody notice that BJ only acts like an asshole

…when he’s around reporters? You get this guy on a conference call or ask him about an opponent and he’s all accusations and putdowns. But you see him interacting with fans, friends or other fighters and he’s cool as shit. What’s up with that?

Don't believe a word I say, I don't train BJJ.

The BJ you see in interviews is a character he plays in order to create controversy and sell fights. The day-to-day BJ is much more relaxed and respectful, just like the day-to-day Tito/Shammy.Lesnar are nothing like the guys they portray when trying to sell a fight.

I don't know about Shammy

I’ve heard he’s a dick to fans a lot, but I could be wrong.

Awwww. BJ genuinely seems really excited to have Oleg around. Sweet.

That vid where he and Anderson argued about who was a better fighter (they kept saying the other dude) before agreeing it was Lyoto was pretty cool as well.

Oleg’s gonna beat the shit out of them those predator things.

Now what we need is some footage of them rolling and of Oleg catching BJ in a kneebar. Is that so much to ask?

I was a little surprised to hear Oleg talk about a new predators movie. I was wondering who they would get to follow in the footsteps of Arnold since the movie is suppose to take place a couple of years after the first one. Answer: Adrien Brody and Topher Grace. Is anyone else on the WTF train with me?

they need the indian ,Sonny Landham back, cept he die in the 1rst movie. that dude was cool, i wonder what ever hapened to him? he was in 48hrs as well.

Oleg Taktarov vs. Marco Ruas

Remember it like it was yesterday. I hope to see a Predator get Kneebar’d.

People are stupid.
