It’s surprising that he’s in such good shape without the use of steroids or growth hormones, he’s eating cheeseburgers and all that. (GSP trainer) Firas [Zahabi], after the fight, he can go home, walk to his bedroom, take his shoes off, lie down in his bed, take about 20 or 30 minutes and go himself."
UFC Lightweight Champion BJ Penn has some very unkind words for Georges St. Pierre and trainer Firas Zahabi on Sirius Satellite’s Hardcore Sports Radio following the debacle that has become the ‘reality’ behind the Spike TV production “UFC Primetime,” which is a $1.7 million three-part promotional series for his upcoming super fight against ‘Rush’ at UFC 94 on January 31. Just when you thought these two couldn’t generate any more heat prior to next Saturday’s epic battle, Mr. Penn delivers.
Now this can be taken two ways. 1-BJ can be complimenting GSP on his physique. or 2-this is just another one of BJ's string of comments that are in my opinion a bit unclassy. First saying GSP is a quitter.. then saying he is going to kill GSP...and now this. I prefer to think it to be the latter of the two. BJ is trying to get into GSP's head..that much is apparent. But telling GSP's trainer to go f*** himself for what? For saying the same thing that BJ basically said to Georges? Ridiculous. IMO BJ is making himself look weak. He said "talk is cheap" but yet he seems to be the one doing all the talking. I really do enjoy BJ as a fighter...but I can't stand the guy in interviews. Even some of his antics in the octagon are a bit uncalled for...Babalu gets fired for holding on to a choke too long but Penn did the same thing to Pulver in their 2nd fight...nobody said anything...Then after his win against Sean Sherk he goes over to Sherks bloodied up face and wipes his hand across it and licks the blood. I understand his passion for wanting to be the ABSOLUTE BEST IN THE WORLD..but some of the things he chooses to do are a bit uncalled for.

Oh little baby Jay, you so crazy.
Although I do believe BJ is probably a legit cocky prick, I'm sure this is all your typical pre-fight BS trash talking. He isn't the first professional fighter to act this way in order to start a little controversy for the sake of attention, and he won't be the last.

Ah, the worst thing about BJ is that he can talk so much crap...but he has the ability to back it up.
I`m hoping GSP comes into this fight physically, and most importantly mentally prepared. Its going to be an absolute war!

I think BJ Penn is also probably trying out the theory that GSP can be beaten with mind games. GSP did admit after the Serra loss that his head wasn't right, and he went so far as to see a sports psychologist about it.
So maybe Penn (in exploring all possible ways to beat GSP) is seeing if he can get inside GSP's head a little before the fight.

BJ is obviously jealous that no matter how many krispy kremes he visits...he just can't get a top notch physique.

Oh, B.J. should just shut the up. A pothead like B.J. is in no position to badmouth anyone. Much less accuse GSP of using steroids. He's nothing more than a bigmouth that will get shut up. And I for one, can't ing wait.

I never liked BJ, he's always seemed like a jerk to me. I already was rooting for GSP in this so whatever.

I think he's just trying to convince himself that he can win. If this goes longer than 2 rounds, he knows he's ed.

It sucks to see a guy like BJ who is amazing in the cage, and such an assh0le outside the cage.

Hmm Mr Old School has a valid point though, BJ's going to get shown how to fight. Jumping up a divion is a dangerous place to be in, your at a straight disadvantage. St Pierre's going to run him wild in that cage. Georges for the win.

I'm on the same boat as you, with hoping GSP wins, but regardless if Penn is cocky or arrogant...the guy can fight, and fight well. Anyone that overlooks Penn's talent just because he tries playing mind games, is an idiot.

Penn is going to go down as one of the greatest MMA fighters that has even been.
But he's still a giant jackass.
That's really all there is to say.

Penn is arguably the most physically talented fighter in the world right now. The guy has amazing stand-up, amazing jiu jitsu, amazing wrestling... He's ridiculous.

agreed. Watching BJ fight is always a treat for me. I would prefer to see him fight Anderson Silva probably more than I would to see a GSP vs. Anderson fight..it would be ridiculous to see BJ at 185 though seeing how out of shape he was when he fought Lyoto..but it is still a fight I would like to see.
..the sh** the guy says is crazy though. I was totally with BJ until he said "F*** Firas". Because Firas was doing nothing but saying the same thing BJ did..practically.
This is still very entertaining to hear though, it adds a lot of hype to an already hyped up fight. I can't f***ing wait. It will be a war but I think GSP will get the win.

IDK I guess the reason it comes off as everyone on here is whining about how BJ is acting towards GSP to me is because im the same way pretty much. Thats why it entertains me. BJ is my favorite fighter too so that helps. I love the entertainers that can back up what they say(for the most part) such as BJ, & Tito Ortiz. My two all time favorite fighters...
