And yes, before you jump all over me, I know it’s pork.
theyre trying to poison GSP! they know they need a handicap in order to beat GSP! and wow that host was absolutely annoying
Extremely annoying. I’m surprised George didn’t bitch slap his goofie ass face.
what r they going to do to BJ in canada?? make him drink some red wine? lol
I don’t think the frenchie’s have the sense of humor to mess with bj that much…or the balls!
nah man we’ll booze him up lol
We will get BJ hooked on poutine and he will come in fat and out of shape for the fight.
Northstar, all I have to do is think about poutine and my cholesterol goes up 50 points. That stuff is a heart attack waiting to happen. lol
What is poutine?
I have had poontang. Kinda fishy.
The French are only a small part of canada
exactly. and the presser was in t.o.; not in quebec at all.
Montreal is the comedy capital of Canada; sense of humor and balls aren’t in question, just a matter of time! Muahaha
That’s a shame. I don’t like cats.
Some street vendors here use cat meat for a Chinese delicacy called siopao…Haven’t tried it yet though…
siopao and manapua are practically the same thing. Siopao is usually made with pork or chicken.
i eat pussy. does that count?
different cultures different foods. lol. Not sure I could do it. There are a LOT of books I’ve read and tv shows I’ve seen (most notable: Bizarre foods with Andrew Zimmern and No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain) where guys go to different countries and eat EVERYTHING that culture offers. Cat is mild compared to some of the stuff they ingest (raw seal eyeballs, fermented,putrid shark). Makes interesting viewing!
b.w. - not unless you eat the pussy of a pig!
Who are you to judge his wife’s attractiveness?
lmao! how did you know?
And it’s good. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
this video is a a couple days old, little late eh
And your point is … ?
burn?
I think he just wanted to be cool. He failed miserably.
((adam g)) posted this up a while ago, as we all know he loves “bj bj bj” and dislikes gsp. Poor gsp he’s too nice of a guy, I would laugh if he punched the guy in the face and then went after penn and pummled him too LOL.
Not likely, but yea i did post this 3 or 4 days ago. BJ BJ BJ!!!
ADam G: Everytime there is a BJ Penn thread, u are the 1st person that comes to mind! I absolutely Love your Devotion to BJ Penn! If you are Driving the BJ Warwagon, then I am riding shotgun!
BJ! BJ! BJ! BJ! BJ!
Everybody now!….. BJ! BJ! BJ!
I like GSP, but not when he is fighting BJ. Is it just me or does GSP look like a normal sized version of Vern Troyer (mini me)???? lol
THANKS BRO! I do it cause when im arguing with someone on here it more times than not feels like the person im arguing with really has no idea who or what BJ Penn is all about, they saw the Hughes fight, went back and rented the GSP fight, and watched him on TUF and think thats all BJ . . . He was beyond different when i first became a fan of his many years ago, no talking at all (too stoned) just not that kind of person at all. He would run to the ring 80% of the time, regardless of the country or state hes fighting in its all about Hawaii now, it wasnt like that before ya know. He has goals now, its crazy, but for most of the people that thiunk they know something about BJ, they’re wrong. RESEARCH! AND word up to that, ive got the keys and this wagons loading up so jump on board, i think i lost my navigator just before the Sherk fight, pussed out on me, forget who that was, but new blood is always welcome . . . Just dont touch the radio! BJ BJ BJ!!!
mini-GSP… that’s good.
And another thing they are going a little over board advertising this fight for gods sake its over 2 months away and I’m already getting sick of seeing penn/gsp threads. I almost don’t care who wins this damn fight already I hope to god its not controversial because we’ll never hear the end of it.
i agree with the “Hope To God It’s Not Controversial.” Too big of a fight and too much hype behind this already….we would truely never hear the end of it…for god sakes the first fight is still HOTLY debated!
anyways like ive said….this fight has the POTENTIAL to be the biggest fight of the decade…..We Will See.
IT’s cool to see Penn and Pierre kinda laughin it up together though. This is a much better example of this sports athletes. These guys are set to fight and try to kill each other and here they are, laughin as one eats “cat” haha.
We probably get along worse on these threads then those two guys in person.
Good point, as St. Pierre already said this fight is so big that it’s going to sell itself. It’s great to see these guys together promoting the sport and experiencing some of each other’s cultures. As the fight gets closer we might not be seeing them quite as friendly towards each other, but it’s great to see this side of two amazing fighters.
Its like Ali/Frazier, i hope they do for the sport what those men did for theirs! But which is Ali and which is Frazier, judging by body its a simple question to answer huh, but judging by mind, spirit and mouth is not so simple huh = ) BJ BJ ALI!!!
But Ali and Frazier were not friendly to each other at all?
In that movie they were, behind the scenes at least (out of the public eye). . .
The biggest travesty in all of this is both penn and Pierre are argubly two of the biggest names in the sport right now and both of thier base salaries combined will not amount to 500,000
just today I read that Margarito turned down 2 million to fight mosely
and the best part is boxing PPV #’s pail in comparison to UFC PPv #’s and boxers are still making 5 times the amount of money as the biggest stars in the UFC how the hell does that work
bisggest boxing match of 2008 cotto/margarito drew 450,000 PPV buys
biggest mma fight of 2008 couture/lesnar reports are starting to come in that it will be over 1 mill buys and no less that 850,000 buys
You’ve already seen the payouts for UFC 94? Wow, you’re good.
Don’t worry, they’re going to be paid very well for this fight. And their full payout won’t come solely from the fight itself.
Turned down the fight? That’s what happens when fighters make multiple millions every fight…they just stop fighting.
exzctly. he killed his own point.
no he didn’t in boxing the fighters actually think of it more as a business, and the reason that boxers are making more money is because they get like 50-60 percent of the revenue and the UFC gives like 5%
the point is, some of the big name boxers are overpaid, wich makes them lazy and only want to fight once a year. only a small % of boxers are making that kind of money. the %5 you are talking about is the amount that the ufc makes public, not what the fighters actually make. trust me dude, i have forgotten more about boxing and its corrupt politics than you will ever know. if top-name mma fighters were making 5-10 $million per fight, how often do you think they would want to fight per year. Marcus Davis was a pro boxer for a few years and fought on espn2 several times and admits he makes alot more in mma than he ever did in boxing.
I could be wrong, but I thought that a boxer’s manager tends to take a MUCH bigger chunk of a fighter’s purse than an MMA fighter’s manager does?
I know Don King did. haha
What a humble guy. How could anyone not be a GSP fan??
Easy, they like BJ and GSP is better so no WW belt for BJ.
. . .Ummm, is that why, or is it cause GSP wears spandex, in and out of the ring . . .yep thats why = ) BJ BJ BJ!!!
Mania, Is it a forgone conclusion that GSP will meet A. Silva if he beats BJ? If so, do we expect them to meet at a catch weight? I so want to see that fight.
“poutine” that stuff is pretty good. I had in montreal when i was wasted…
Poutines the greatest hangover food ever.
Jrandolph being a big gsp nut hugger and canadian I for one am not looking forward to a gsp/anderson fight right now. Other than patrick cote silva completely destroyed his opponents and outweighs gsp by about 25 lbs. It all depends on how he handles penn and if he gets past penn and then it would depend on how he handles alves. I’m not really a fan of this champion vs champion stuff as it potentially could tie up the two divisions for a long time which sucks. To be honest people should forget silva right now, I think either thiago or penn would be a handful for gsp right now and for once gsp wouldn’t be fighting a guy he’s better at in all area’s. On paper serra has better bjj but it sure as hell didn’t look like it in there fight he looked terrible. Koscheck was also supposed to be a better wrestler than gsp but look what happened. I think what gsp is best at is putting all the disciplines together in a mma fight and making them work. I think silvas striking, size and range is a little to much for gsp IMO. To me thiago strikes harder than gsp and for the first time he’s fighting someone who is bigger and more muscular than him thiago out weights him by 15 or more pounds. I think penn has faster hand’s (at least in the first round) and is obviously better at bjj than gsp. These next two guys IMO will be the toughest test’s of gsp’s career, forget silva gsp needs to get past these guys first.
I remember Joe Rogan saying that GSP could take down the fighters in his camp at will in training, but that they could not do the same to him. When you consider who some of the light heavyweight fighters are in his camp, that is damn impressive. This just shows that as far as take downs are concerned, he may be out weighed slightly, but that is not going to be able to stop his opponent from hitting the canvas.
All Good points, but if you were in Dana’s shoes, and GSP beats Penn, and with Silva talking retirement? Maybe not immediately after the Penn fight, but he’s [Dana] gotta be thinking it.
As far as this next fight, I was originally a GSP hater, as I was with Penn, but both guys have won me over in the last couple of years. I honestly don’t know who I’m pulling for. Either way, I would not like to see an early finish. I want to see both guys tested for 4 or 5 rounds. If so,it has the potential to be one of the UFC’s great fights. Well see.
I agree that Anderson Silva is not the best matchup for GSP.
He’s so quick and versatile… and bigger! GSP won’t be able to put him down 5 rounds to GnP.
But on the other way, St. Pierre is such a
But on the other way, St. Pierre is such a athlete… if he can prepare to this fight as a lifetime matchup and do whatever he can to beat Silva… everything is possible. This could be a hard night for both..
I think gsp has a better chance than any welter weight right now at beating the spider mainly because of his athletic abilities and his wrestling now topped with his bjj black belt. I’m not saying gsp can’t win but the odds don’t favor him winning IMO. I still think he has a better chance than anyone who has faced silva in the ufc so far. It would most likely be a cool fight but I wouldn’t enjoy seeing gsp get tko’d. Gsp would really have to make it a grappling match and avoid those big knees on the way in, if gsp could do it that would be awesome I just have my doubts after seeing andersons collateral damage.
“I still think he has a better chance than anyone who has faced silva in the ufc so far”.so gsp would beat franklin and henderson who are both massive mws dont think so mate!!!
hendo is old and his bjj isnt that great, and rich was the guys 2nd fight in the UFC he didnt know much about him other then he had a killer striking game, which come first fight franklin tried testing how good it was, and the 2nd time around franklin tried the samething because his ground game sucks
Don’t read too much into it, Scott. Nathan is a card-carrying GSP nuthugger. Nathan thinks GSP’s perineum is a chin-rest.
first of all, manapua is a local snack usually found in chinese restaurants. it’s actually sweetened pork meat, usually a lot of fat and other “good” and tasty parts, baked inside a soft bun. it’s really good. local people say it’s cat because it is a local stereotype that chinese people are tight with their money and use stray cats to make their manapua in order to save money. don’t worry, we don’t eat cat over here. when i say “local” i just mean of or relating to the people of the hawaii and the contemporary hawaiian culture.
wow so stereotypes are still going strong in hawaii as well….good to know.
dana white lied to us at the conference, he said the turnout was greater in hawaii than in canada. i saw the canadian press conference, no way. plus they didnt even run out of shirts.
“I still think he has a better chance than anyone who has faced silva in the ufc so far.”so gsp would beat franklin and henderson who are both massive mws and natural lhws.dont think so mate!!!!
Scott hendo normal walks around under 200lbs and franklin is normally 205. Gsp IMO is much quicker and the better athlete and I think he could take both guys down, even hendo. Rashad evans is bigger than both these guys and gsp could take him down and he couldn’t take gsp down, and he’s an accomplished wrestler. Thats just my opinion that he’s a better fighter than either of those guys but it would be a tough fight for him. In an interview franklin was asked if gsp stood a chance with anderson and he said he stood a good chance but not if he kept it standing all night. Thats actually more credit than I gave gsp, gsp is more dynamic all around than anyone I’ve seen fight silva and is a master at applying all the different disciplines in mma together.
Props to GSP for being polite, humble, and a good sport! Everyone is a GSP fan… and those who say they’re not… are ‘closet’ GSP fans!
