BJ Penn Doesn’t Want To Fight in Nevada Anymore

BJ Penn

As much as we would all like “Grease Gate” to go away, BJ Penn brought it up again this week on his video blog at BJPenn.com, in response to a question by one of the members of his website. This time Penn stated among other things:

All that stuff is important to me, but I’ve got a big fight coming up with Kenny Florian, so I can’t concentrate on that too much, But I will say, the athletic commission, from what I understand the whole thing’s not finished. The athletic commission can do whatever they want. It’s Nevada’s commission. They can do whatever they want.

I will say that, for me personally, Keith Kizer can’t be trusted, I don’t trust him in any way. And, as far as… you know, as far as what they’re gonna do, who knows, we’ll see what happens, but honestly I have no interest in ever fighting in Nevada or Las Vegas again, and that’s all I have to say about that whole situation.

There was not much more concerning the “Grease Gate” situation, but the whole video is below if you wish it view it in it’s entirety.

    Stop beeing such a little **** bj! suck it up and deal with it.

  • Bj Penn: He continues to hurt not only his career, but his reputation as a fighter and a person. I also feel he’s losing tons of respect from other fighters and fans.

    He’s a another guy who has it all, he has great standup and a great overall ground game with the some of the best jj in the world. Stop being such a sore loser man!

    The fact that BJ Penn still hasn’t ket this go says a lot about him as a competitor and a man period. Come on, how are you going to fight as the UFC Lightweight Champion and not want to compete in Las Vegas when Dana White has said so many times that Las Vegas is like the UFC’s “hometown”.

    Penn seems to want to ride this to the end, I think only because he wants to force the issue and not truly accept that George St. Pierre is his daddy in the octagon. He’s so full of himself and holds himself so high as a fighter that it took him by surprise when he has a rude awakening and realized that there was someone out there that is better than he is. It took his manhood away because he’s so used to getting everything he wants and is used to people praising him and how good he is and all that. He’s just plain and simple a sore loser who cannot take a loss like a man nor act like a professional let alone a champion.

    I was always a guy who supported Penn and I was a huge fan of his, but now i don’t care if i ever see him fight again, i hope Kenny Florian takes his belt and Bj Penn quits fighting just like he quit against Georges St. Pierre.

    I feel that BJ Penn knows that deep down inside, he knows that he lost to St. Pierre and that the whole vasiline thing would have not made a difference in that fight…he’s just to embarassed to admit it because it would make him look stupid and childish, i bet he wants this to go away, but now feels he has to stick with his story since he’s already made a bigger deal than it should have been.

    BJ just come clean and admit that you feel embarassed for being a sore loser and we’ll forget about the whole thing, you don’t have to keep doing too much on this issue man.

  • Jazzkok says:

    It isn’t the NSAC that kicked your ass bj it was your daddy from canada GSP!

    Like i said before, BJ better win. He can’t afford to lose. He loses this one then his “legacy” ended when he beat sherk and with this whole “greasegate” ****…don’t think he wants to go out like that.

    He says he’s still waiting and it’s not over? Wow dude, LET IT GO! You’re about to defend your lw title against the toughest LW @ the moment. He’d better focus dude. He’d better focus! Or else my boys kenny’s gonna muay thai the **** out of him back to court! haha damn sorry bj fans, i can’t help myself and i’m having too much fun talking **** about bj!

    Seriously, i agree with MARVEL. He’s got to act like a champ, and be a man, let this go, and just shut the **** up and go out there and be “the prodigy” He’s a talented MMA fighter and he could handle any LW opponent and end up as the best lw ever.

    • OnlyTrue1 says:

      Wow, I’m actually gonna agree with Jazzok and Mk4 at the same time!!

      I was a huge BJ fan but man his actions and what he’s been saying are unreal..

      I honestly looking back at it I feel maybe BJ missed his opportunity to be considered the best ever when he left the ufc the 1st time. The lw was open to him, he had just beat hughes 4 the title.. So now that he is older and The UFC has evolved, along with its fighters it is to late for him to be considered the best ever due to the competition and his lack of championship training.
      My coaches all ways tell me if your the toughest guy in your camp you need to find another camp and soon.. And I believe that is BJ’s problem.. Too many “yes” men and fans around him.

      Jazzok

      who is that in your avator, is that the guy from saved by the bell???? Screech??

      • the guy in Jazzkoks Avatar is Cristian Bale from “American Psycho”

      • Jazzkok says:

        “OnlyTrue1″

        What up “homie”. Is “OnlyTrue1″ your “rapper” name?!?!? Why don’t you “bust a flow” for me “dawg”? Isn’t that what you small town middle america kids do for fun?!?

      • Justin says:

        Jazz,
        Why all the hate? for OnlyTrue1, I don’t think that was necessary. (Also, he’s not from middle America.)

      • OnlyTrue1 says:

        MK4
        Man I know who it is. I’m clowning Jazzok yet again….

        Jazzok
        Howdy dooty. Yeap we middle americans down here in ATL love rapping or “bust a flow for you dawgs” HAHAHAHAH too funny man!!
        I tell you what i’ll rap for you good ole boys and you SANG achey breaky heart by billy ray cyrus.

        Justin
        I Appriciate the love..!

        Its all good it’s all in fun with you guys.. Either way we all agree on the topic for a change.. Penn better focus on Ken-Flo cause he is in for a real fight..

      • Jazzkok says:

        Justin,

        Dude there’s no hate here at all. Onlytrue1 is having fun with me and i can dig it. I’m just trying to keep up with the kid and his wits about my avatar :D

        Onlytrue1 no hard feelings “homie”. I like “the durtty south”! :D

      • OnlyTrue1 says:

        Same here Jazzok
        For the record that bust a flow and onlytrue1 being my rapper name was tooooo funny homie!!!

  • SPUD says:

    They need someone like BJ to say something. GSP cheated and got away with it. Maybe BJ saying something will wake these guys up to handing out harsher penalties for any kind of cheating. If I got cheated out of a fair fight I wouldn’t want to fight there again either.

    • jiujitsuMAN says:

      lol hug his nuts some more

    • Eric says:

      Define cheating… Because I define it as an intentional infraction of the rules. If that’s how you define it also, then I’d like you to show proof that GSP intentionally broke the rules. And no, posting the Penn propaganda (lol) video, or a similar youtube clip doesn’t count, nor does it prove intention anyway. I could write a lot more on this, but I won’t, already been done.

      If you have a different definition of cheating, then please share it.

      • fr702 says:

        furthermore, GSP DID NOT apply the vasaline, it was Phil Nurse just to put it out there……..

      • dbiz says:

        Indeed FR. Anderson Silva INTENTIONALLY smeared it on himself and the same action was taken. A wipe down to clear it off.

  • dbiz says:

    I think anything I could say here has been said adequately already.

  • fr702 says:

    Now perhaps everyone knows that I’AM a BJ Penn fan, also I’M a GSP fan as well, nice to see that people haven’t gone all crazy on bashing Penn (odd for alot of you) and brought rather intellegent comments to the board, nice good on ya’s…..

    BJ Penn will fight in Vegas again, I can damn near gaurantee it, and if he is still battling the “SuperFight” with NSAC sooo be it whatever these things take time yada yada whatever, just keep your damn mouth shut about it and focus on the fight with KenFlo, or guess what you will lose your title… Is Penn the best LW in the world YES, can KenFlo (3rd in the world) take that strap HELL YES…. But all and all I do see Penn fighting in Vegas again, he says he doesn’t care toooo, well sometimes I don’t want to go to work either but I do anyways… thats my opionion or whatever

  • bigchris2328 says:

    great points mk4, onlytrue1 I think you hit the nail on the head with bj. he is the toughest in his camp and needs to bring in new guys or go to other gyms to train and be challenged. and he needs to get rid of his yes men, and as far as his “legacy” in my eyes he has ruined it. he ruined it with all his complaining and childish antics. its like he is throwing a tantrum like a 2 year old and will keep doing it until he gets noticed. what was the icing on the cake was when he got his moms involved. he needs to get his mind straight, if he doesnt ken-flo will walk through him.

  • Vinz_Clortho says:

    Everyone always forgets the two NSAC guys standing right beside him whos JOB DESCRIPTION includes whipping down fighters. If anyone gets disciplined it should be them. Even still, they did whipe him down between all rounds, just not the first so…. cry more BJ.
