Stay Classy BJ Penn
Real classy bringing up Ryan Bennett and what you have done for the family, BJ. It has nothing to do with how MMAWeekly portrayed you and now you look like a self-serving douche.
I love him as a fighter and I will root for him, but what a …….

so
The online community can accept (and brush off) that he did somethin nice for someone, but it cannot be mentioned… But as soon as BJ says something people don’t like he’s every name in the book…
great.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
Just because you do something nice for someone
doesn’t mean that you are excused from limelight in the media.
but look at what he's getting negative coverage for...
Something that Georges did, that he disagreed with.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
No noe has given him negative coverage for what GSP did
People have only given him negative coverage for his own handling of the situation. His demeanor, maturity, etc.
He has a history of faux-casually self-aggrandizing behavior that some people pick-up on. These people are picking up on it and disliking it.
Love it
We did stuff for Ryan Bennett’s family, so how dare you cover me fairly and honestly?
Stop acting like a jackass and your coverage will stop making you look like a jackass.
Jackass.

I think he’s claiming that he was treated unfairly. And honestly:
- George WAS greased
- BJ was right to be pissed
What’s your counter-argument? That you like GSP so much that it shouldn’t matter?

The fighter so nice they named him twice
D’oh – forgot to pluralize George. Sorry Georges!
Don't believe a word I say, I don't train BJJ. -- TangleBones
Were you in the cage with them? What constitutes being “greased”? What specific rule did GSP supposedly break? What was the difference between GSP’s “greasing” and what Anderson Silva did before the Leites fight?
Fans are giving BJ hell because he talked MASSIVE smack before the fight and got merced, PERIOD. Then, he had an excuse for the loss, just like all of his losses. If he cared about the sport as much as he says he would’ve went after Silva the way he went after St. Pierre. I’m not saying Silva did anything wrong but there is just as much evidence against him than there is against GSP, probably more so.
Well let's see...
the commission changed the entire way they handle vaseline because of this one instance… They now only give cutmen (Duran, etc) the right to even handle the “vaseline” because of the fact that Georges had grease on him.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
but as long as it's
GSP, of course it’s okay.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
You must be a a very good detective to have found the intent on the part of GSP’s corner to intentionally grease because no one else it, including the NSAC. Phil Nurse made a mistake and from what anybody can tell accidentally put Vaseline on GSP’s body, but according to conspiracy theorists like you guys, there was some grand scheme that only Penn and his fans knew about involving GSP “greasing”. Whatever, Penn took it to the commission and they acted within the extent of their own rules. Move on.
And the reason some people go out of their way to defend St. Pierre is because of guys like you who go out of their way to attack him. Seems to be the “in” thing these days.
how did i attack him at all?
You love him so much that you can’t see any of this objectively… I wanted BJ to win, but u know what? He got destroyed by the best WW on the planet bar-none. The fact is, had someone else been caught with grease on them, it would be a big deal… just like its a big deal when fighters pop for pain killers, or roids, or when fighters hold a choke, or when fighters hit after the person is out/round is over….. For some reason, people like you can’t see the situation outside of the figthers, and therefore act as if nothing wrong was done… Regardless of whether it was meant to be done (these guys aren’t stupid, and have a lot of experience) doesn’t matter… What happened was wrong, and only because of the status of GSP does it get ignored, or brushed off.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
Nobody’s brushing it off. The commission saw the incident in question, acted and that should be it. The problem I have is people label him a greaser when there is no previous history of him doing so outside of the second Penn fight and like I said, there is more evidence to suggest that was accidental than anything else. Guys like you like to say it was wrong and try to take this moral high ground when you completely ignore what Silva did. Also, the rules for greasing and steroids are completely different and aren’t even a good comparison. But whatever> I knew this was pointless from the get go.
everybody loves GSP b/c he is so professional and so polite and wears such nice suits – but we all know that if Brock Lesnar was caught with grease the story would be about Brock Lesnar and not Frank Mir accusing and or seeking redemption

"Guys like You"
If you don’t realize there is a lot more to this situation than the A. Silva situation then I’m sorry… There have been examples of people greasing before too (Militich gif someone)…. The point is the media that surrounded this entire thing became backlash to the fighter that was at a disadvantage… Lets also not act like the commission acted appropriately in this whole situation… Firstly their initial wording of the rule made it possible for people to accept that GSP “didn’t break any rules”… The fact that they didn’t inform Penn during the fight that GSP had grease on him is wrong (especially when his camp had informed the commission that GSP may be greasing)… Dude there is A LOT wrong with how that whole thing went down… My whole point is that it is unfair to attack BJ so much in this situation when HE WASN’T THE wrongdoer in the situation…
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
Like I said, the GSP situation was handled by the commission. Silva’s was promptly forgotten about. Do for one what you would do for all.
Different Situation
Bj made an appeal so it continued… I don’t understand your point… GSP’s was forgotten as soon as people could blame the situation on BJ.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
Because the reason this is being discussed
Is because of the negative attention Bj gets for it. Nobody really actively brings up greasegate anymore, however some of us feel the need to state the other side when folks bash BJ for his appeals, and complaints about it…
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
BTW the commission
did the same thing to GSP… They walked in and wiped Silva off with a towel…
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
Okay. What you need to understand is a majority of people giving him shit for it are doing it just to be jerks. And it’s the “cool” thing to do. Do I think it was funny he talked all that junk and got smashed? Yes. Do I think it was embarrassing to have his mother at the hearing? Yes. Do I have a problem with him filing a complaint with the commission? No. He has every right to do so. But that’s my personal opinion and you won’t see me in a forum cracking jokes on him about that. No reason to. I just think it’s funny people call GSP a greaser when Silva did the same thing, even more so. You just hear about it because Leites has nowhere near the fanbase Penn does.
exactly
GSP got hardly any bad media and again its b/c he is the favorite amongst fans and the media
I bet if he popped positive for steriods the media would blame the lab

do we have to discuss this. Did the rules change after that fight? Yes. Was this the first time something like this happened? No. Lets not try to act like this event was the big bang of rule changes for "greasing’ because this is an issue that the NSAC should have dealt with years ago.
You know who was in the cage with him at one point or another and claimed he was greased? Better grab a Snickers.

did everyone forget the stitch/hughes gif? clearly showing stitch rubbing hughe’s face first and the down to his shoulder, having to know that hughes clearly had grease/vas on his face, but just making a HUMAN error. i think if someone can say gsp would have won the fight anyway, there should be no more issues of the situaiton STILL. still complaining about, sounds of making excuses for bj. bj made his own bed and the best way for him to shut up all the doubters is to go out and take care of business with kenny and there wont be any need for excuses.
Thing is, he wasn’t complaining about the stuff people called him in forums or on blog comments. He is of the opinion that the actual coverage he received was unfair. I would counter that I don’t think it was. I might have a different perspective if there were negative articles being written about me, but it has to be said that public figures who complain about the coverage they receive are usually mocked.
It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.
GSP didn't have to deal
with article upon article, upon article by the “media”…. He got some backlash for what he did, but BJ Penn got much more shit for his performance, and for complaining to the commission, at least it seemed like it to me.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
Maybe he has an issue
with the coverage, because he perceives it to be done with bias against him…He feels like those media outlets put a strain on the relationship by not showing both sides… To this day, there is more people who still talk about BJ’s appeal to the commission than the fact that GSP’s corner legitimately did something wrong and greased.. Anyone who cosgined BJ was called a jealous, sore loser (Hughes, Sherk, etc)… and BJ was crucified by the online community as if he was the one who cheated, just because he lost (in his own words got his ass kicked)….
but of course, u know, he must be a jackass cuz u say so.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
as long as i have read this site....
I laugh at all the tough guys dogging on bj. How many of you tools have ever strapped the leather on and competed? Maybe 2 or 3 percent of people here? Mainly because real athletes train and you fans just sit around critical of everyone.
I actually train up at gregs in Albuquerque every now and a then, and GSP is guilty of greasing. As a matter of fact a lot more people grease then any of you know. How will the commission know If I bath in vaseline the night before? Just soak in it so my pores are full for fight night? That’s what a lot of fighters do, its not right but they do it.
Bj had his high guard slip all fight, and I assure you GSP would have won regardless I still think its wrong what he did. GSP is one hell of an athlete but he will never have the technique bj has, actually nobody will.
Bj has every right to boycott any website he wants, as for you people that call him a cry baby and post funny pictures yeah ha ha funny funny sure. But most of you will never know what its like to be the mma fighters you are so critical of

i think speculation
of what GSP does at camps, etc is unfair, because we don’t know if you really train there/who you are etc. I don’t know what the hell most of these fighters are like, or the things they do to get an advantage. All i can go off of, is what I see, or observe, and I know that GSP had grease on him against BJ. PERIOD.

Except that’s not really what happened. It’s not like BJ’s mother just went and sat behind him throughout the hearing. No, she took an active role in defending BJ, more than likely at his request, by going on some diatribe about how nice he played with others as a kid.
It was cowardly, hiding behind an old woman after making such accusations. Stand up and state your case, if you really have one. Trying to garner sympathy in such a transparent way does not speak well for your side.

It was also a direct attempt to guilt the commission into doing things they wouldn’t do otherwise.

it's funny you mention that
I watching some UFC stuff when my mom came in and started watching it with me. I told her about BJ and his temper tantrum and bringing his mom to the hearing and my mom just rolled her eyes… lol
I'm the kind of girl who loves to watch a GOOD fight!

Actually, I hear GSP’s mom was almost called to testify before the commission: she thinks her labor with Georges was surprisingly easy!

I had a feeling he was the kind of fetus that greases before coming out

You can’t spell grease-spot without GSP!

lol
i’m on gsp’s side, but even i have to admit this was pretty funny.
And to be clear: GSP is my FAVORITE fighter. As much as I like watching BJ fight, GSP is my pick for P4P champ. Me = GSP mark #1!

not too many things are worse
Then taking your mom to fight for you in court.
But one thing that is worse is fighting the huge underdog that won tuf 4 and end up on your back tapping to strikes in the fetal position cowering

well, gsp just went out and totally dominated alves with takedowns and gnp, and i’m sure the nsac, dana, lorenzo and allof zuffa(hell even bj was there) were watching he and his corners move. he was able to take alves(by far thw #1 ww comntender) down at will and with ease, while other fighters couldn’t (hughe’s,kos,karo), so i think he totally redeemed himself of what little left there was of “greasegate”. he totally owned the best fighter available, with no aide of any illegal substance’s. now, it’s bj’s turn. from the recent training vids iv’e seen he looks in awesome shape, and from the interviews iv’e heard he sounds toally motivated. a motivated and in-shape bj is a very scary bj. if he can go out and run through a very respectable fighter in ken-flo like he did jens,sherk, and joe-daddy ( or at least win impressivley and not gas) the all the bj haters/doubters will shut-up. it’s your turn BJ!
What happened to the “BJ Penn goes off on conference call” article? Was it taken down?
