Personally I dont think fitch brought the fight to GSP, he survived. I think Fitch even said by the time he was in a position to bring the fight to GSP he was too beat up to mount any real offence.(by the end of the first round)

yes, you can over train. I dont think taking 5 days off is bad. That does not mean lay on the couch for 5 days and eat twinkys!

gunslinger, I don’t know if you’re talking to me, but I belive my exact quote was “I know I’m not an elite athlete, but if I hit the gym hard after a week off, I’m hurting the next day.” Clearly I don’t train a fraction as hard as BJ; I don’t even train, per se. I work out an hour a day, 6 a week, that’s it. Don’t need to get all up in my grill about it.

Pleasure as always Fr

I never said anything about weight. Penn has a mini Fedor build. Perfectly fine and suited for mma. And I do understand the body’s need to recover. But 5 days? I know I’m not an elite athlete, but if I hit the gym hard after a week off, I’m hurting the next day. 5 days just seems like a long time to separate oneself (mentally and physically) from a fight like this. Take a day off here, a day off there. I don’t know. In retrospect I guess it’s not that bad and maybe the effects of working an overnight double are setting in, but it just seems like 5 days is a lot. But who knows, maybe you’re right. I’m tired.

no he didnt bring the fight to GSP the whole time. but there was a moment at the start to the 3rd where he came out and attacked and thats where he hurt him. thats why after the fight GSP had a big bruise on the right side of his head from a left hook coming in and the flurries slowed him, but at that point he had taken to much punishment and it wasnt enough.

And if you train for that long consistantly, you can hurt yourself rather bad in so many ways and to take 5 days or whatever can feel (to the body and mind) like a month, training is a biotch but pretty much thats what i think of that there

uhh i train and believe no one….not one fighter in the world doesnt take a break..I take breaks and to think these guys who train harder than anyone to not take a break is stupid and thats how idjuries happen…do you want it to be gsp vs bj then give bj a break and i guarentee you that gsp takes five day breaks heck the whole week before a fight is a break…right now bj and gsp are resting waiting for the fight not in the gym

Mr. Diablo, hello again

Dude look BJ Penn has been training for 5 months for this fight and he doesnt need to watch his weight, if he takes 5 days off sooo be it there is a article that quotes Penn’s trainer that makes logical sense… BJ Penn will be ok, and believe me GSP takes time off too while training
