  1. BJ is a little B word, plain and simple.

     

    He got WORKED by a bigger, stronger, more prepared fighter. If GSP isn't the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world right now, he's right up there with Silva and Fedor. BJ, his yes-men camp and his make-any-excuse fans come off looking really bad after this... and pointing to their first fight is pointless. If you can't recognize how much different a fighter Georges is since his loss to Serra, then I don't know what to tell you.

     

    GSP was in better shape and it showed, period. BJ's mediocre, on-again/off-again conditioning reared its ugly head once again and it led to him throwing in the towel early. For all the crap he talked about GSP tapping from strikes and how that made him a "quitter" and a "little B word" himself, he comes off like a complete pansy (relatively speaking, of course) for not even trying to finish the fight. I guess thats what you get for taking a vacation in the middle of training.

     

    GSP was better that night, he's better most nights, and he'll be better on the night they fight again, if Dana ever wants that debacle repeated. Personally, I can't wait to see KenFlo and BJ tangle. I think Kenny has a legitimate shot (especially after his deconstruction of Huerta), and if BJ loses... he's going to have some serious soul searching to do in an effort to get his career back on track before he goes from one of the PFP best in the world to "man, if only that guy had taken it more seriously." Because, let's not fool ourselves here, he's on that precipice right now.

     

    Now lets talk about reality. You know that St.Pierre is not that much better then Penn. Just look at their prior fight for evidence. Penn was in worse shape for that fight and he trained hard for the recent fight. Also, look at the film of the last fight. The reason St.Pierre could posture up was because he was greased up! Watch Penn's legs just slide down St.Pierre's back as though he were fighting an eel.

     

    St. Pierre cheated. I can't wait for the third fight. The matter is still under investigation. Sherk, Hughes (who is a dick), and Serra all say that St.Pierre greased - and all three have their strengths in BJJ or wrestling.

  2. Dude, Sloth did you see the fight?.....St. Pierre beat his ass and passed his guard at will because he was quicker and stronger and an all-around better fighter. Maybe if BJ would actually get his ass out of Hawaii to train with guys who served a purpose other than feeding his ego than he might have had a shot......Georges is not Sean Sherk, he's arguably the best fighter in the world. The vasoline had no effect on this fight. I like BJ Penn but he got his ass kicked, plain and simple. He looks like a crybaby filing this complaint, just take your ass-whooping and go back down to 155 where if you're not careful you might lose your belt.......Kenny Florian, Gray Manor, and Diego Sanchez would all be good fights for BJ.

     

    I did see the fight - I also saw their first fight. I have seen every fight of both fighters. Something was amiss because NOBODY, has ever dominated BJ like that. BJ tore St.Peirre up in the first two rounds of their first fight, and almost finished it.

     

    If you watch the clips, BJ was trying to lock in his rubber guard and his legs kept slipping off St.Pierre. Other fighters have said the same thing. Something was wrong.

     

    I disagree, vasoline is a major factor against a fighter like Penn who uses his superior BJJ and flexibility

  3. Bull sh--! I really hope the UFC makes these two fight each other again so St. Pierre smashes that loud mouth Penn again. BJ is looking for any kind of an excuse due to the fact that he was embarrassed.

     

    This is the video that was sent to NSAC by St. Pierre's camp.

     

    Video link.

     

    He's not the only fighter who has done this in between rounds.

     

    I tend to agree with Penn on this one. He has, as Joe Rogan would say, "a crazy guard" and Vasoline would negate his greatest strength as a fighter.

  4. That was an incredible rescue. For a guy who wanted to commit suicide over gambling debt, he turned out to be pretty lucky.

     

    Yeah, if you want to commit suicide by going over the falls (a dumb way to go IMO) you had better be pretty damn sure before you get your ass into the water!

  5. I've never seen the point of the whole "that could never happen" thought to this show. We're talking about a world where two nukes have gone off on American soil, where a president hasn't actually completed a term in at least 12 years (Palmer, Keeler, Logan, Palmer). The realm of reality has been stretched well beyond the breaking point a long time ago.

     

    true. that is why I said that I do not want to be "that guy" who questions the realism. The secret service retreat had me shaking my head. I just could not suspend my disbelief.

     

    Now, if the prez had Irish Whipped JUma, Kicked him in the face, and then hit him with the leg-drop - then I would be fully on board.

  6. Those were 2 of the best episodes I can remember! The president being slapped was pretty awesome. Intense, to say the least....

     

    SPOILER:

     

     

    I thought for sure that Jack wouldn't let the president come out of the vault for her daughter, so Juma (knowing Jack was in the vault) would find a way to get Kim involved, since she is supposed to pop up this season. At the same time, the president did ask Jack about if he had a child last night.

     

    I have not yet seen yesterday's episode, but the back-to-back episodes were CHEESY! WHen Juma slapped the president and she flung her hair back and stared at him, all I could think was Hulk Hogan. I was waiting for her to get the crazy eyes and start wagging her finger in front of him before hitting him with a leg drop.

     

     

    Also, (I hate to be one of those -this is so unrealistic guys) the Secret Service would never back away like they did. That was stupid. In fact, the whole invasion of the WHite House was very dumb. It would have been better if tehy hijacked a motorcade or something.

     

    This season sucks and I have been a huge fan of the show.
