UFC 123 Preview: BJ Penn Talks Matt Hughes

"Say I beat Matt Hughes in the first round and I come out without any scratches, Dana when can I fight again? Two weeks? Perfect let's go. I just want to fight consistently and get my name out there and keep it out there and hold on."

"I have to go out and beat the sportsman named Matt Hughes and that's no easy task. So that's what I'm preparing to do. It's been so long, we're two different guys. Matt Hughes is a lot harder to hit than you think he is. It's a new fight for me."

"I want to be the best. I'm not taking this Matt Hughes fight as a last hurrah. Eventually I'm going to put it all together and it's going to work out. This isn't the end. You never know."

Hey did you hear BJ?
Bas Ruten wants to train you.

Question, what do you do when you’re dealing with a faster opponent?

Big Bj fan but

I think he’s done. If he couldn’t get pumped up to get his belt back(yawning, he looked sleepy for the rematch and showed no determination) then I don’t see it happening. His heart just ain’t in it anymore

Huge BJ fan.

The problem is, he always says the right things about him being ready, how he wants to fight again immediately, how hungry for the wins he is, but he hasn’t been walking the walk lately.

Would love to see him start tearing it up again.

I like what he’s saying. His attitude has changed 180 degrees from the retirement talk a couple of years back. I wish he would evolve wiht the sport more.

I’m sure changing the way he fights, and gamplans for fights is difficult, when most of his career, guy were the ones changing to fight him.

Did you see the size of that chicken?

This isn’t the end. You never know.

What the hell is that.

Okay Penn.

Talk to us after you actually destroy Hughes.

Text Correction

BJ says “i’m not taking this fight as a last hurrah or another reason to get my name out”

by nannerb on Sep 30, 2010 4:59 PM EDT reply actions  

I've regularly questioned the text that gets posted under videos

Besides almost always leaving out a lot of words, it often completely adds words. Always watch the video.

Oh boy, can't imagine how bad another loss for Penn would be at this point.

West coast sucks a dick. 2Pac had nothing on Big and Easy E and Magic Johnson got HIV cause West Coast broads are dirty as hell. I wish I was from New Jersey because the shitty bagels and pizza I have out here are making my butthole bleed.
