B.J. Penn Trying Not to Overtrain for Kenny Florian at UFC 101

Earlier I was very worried for BJ… I thought if ever there was a time at 155 to take him out it would be now. I used to make fun saying he spars with his gardeners – he’s doing a world class camp for this fight.

ooo, oo, pick me I know, it was all that rock running that you did, it overworked your cardio.

I believe in B.J. Penn and absolutely believe that he has the right mind set going into this fight to take to and finish Kenny Florian.

I am doubtful that over-training is the reason why BJ gassed in the first round against GSP. Even though this may seem like a strange indicator, the best that I have seen BJ is ALWAYS when he has abs like when he fought Pulver, Stevenson and Sherk.

even if penn gets past florian, he will get mauled by deigo sanchez, penn’s puny jabs are no match to deigo’s dynamic and pin point striking, he will put on a worse beating on penn than gsp, i dont get all the hype with this guy, he held two belts in the ufc at a time when ufc was up and coming, they didnt have all the talent, even guys like gsp and penn were students of the game, gsp have evolved because he is humble and ready to learn from anybody, penn’s ego is the size of eifel tower, he only poses with these top fighters in his videos only to showboat, i doubt he actually trains with them. mma is evolving so fast that his flexibility on the ground and stand up cant hold up against a talented well rounded fighter, like frank mir said you cant just rely on your gifted skills anymore to compete with top tier fighters.

deigo is losing his power by cutting weight ? is that suppose to be a joke ?? do you even follow mma that closely mate !!!!! he was in the most action packed event in ufc this year, period. i still make more sense than you did, grammar or no grammar. im not trying to flame anybody, its just my opinion, you dont have to agree with it, nor are you obligated to put me down like that.

on a side note i still think penn defeated sherk, because sherk was dumb enough to stand up, and not use his wrestling and GnP, otherwise the outcome would have been very different, people like you and joe rogan try to make penn look like this larger than life legend of the sport, when he is clearly not, you have to have solid competition on a consistent basis to be considered a top tier fighter, say that about machida, silva, fedor and i wont argue then, but penn hasnt been in wars like those guys have. also his bjj is not going to work when the guy on top knows how to defend, like brock did with mir. also guida and stevenson are rough fighters with great chin, they dont ask ref to stop the fight right when they are about to get their ass handed to themselves. also franklin is not a brawler like wandy, he had an intelligent game plan, and didnt give any openings, a clean shot from wandy would have dropped him, if you dont think deigo has punching power go see his fight with guida again. feel free to go over penn/ sherk too, those jabs are almost laughable. they didnt to any damage to sherk, it was the steroids that got to his head.
