Has BJ Penn Been Hittin’ the Sauce?

Well rather unexpectedly tonight, BJ Penn, who sort of but I guess not really retired after his UFC 137 hard fought defeat against Nick Diaz has taken to Twitter to both insult and call out.

Well rather unexpectedly tonight, BJ Penn, who sort of but I guess not really retired after his UFC 137 hard fought defeat against Nick Diaz has taken to Twitter to both insult and call out Diaz and the fresh off a devastating 12 second knock out loss, Jon Fitch. Penn tweeted:



It’s kind of a cheap shot to a recently wounded Jon Fitch and it’s a far cry from that comradely picture [above] snapped by Cesar Gracie after the battering he took from Nick Diaz. But Penn has always proved to have the true heart of a warrior, and if a few unkind words is what it takes to get him fired up and back in the cage, so be it. This guy puts on a show. Welcome back, BJ.

Meisha Tate vs. Ronda Rousey Title-Bout Set for Strikeforce

Just yesterday, Meisha Tate expressed her valid opinion that perhaps Ronda Rousey was not yet ready to step up as a title-contender. Tate explained: ‘When you have girls like Sarah Kaufman, who’re 14-1, and Alexis.

Just yesterday, Meisha Tate expressed her valid opinion that perhaps Ronda Rousey was not yet ready to step up as a title-contender. Tate explained:

‘When you have girls like Sarah Kaufman, who’re 14-1, and Alexis Davis, who’re 11-4, and are beating the top, top girls, it would only make sense that they would be in line before Ronda. I don’t agree with her trying to ride the marketability of the fight. That means that she’s more deserving over those other girls, including myself.”

However, as probably expected, Strikeforce preferred most marketable over most deserving and has booked Meisha Tate vs. Ronda Rousey for March 3rd in Columbus, Ohio. It makes sense… Tate may have a point that Rousey isn’t the worthiest title-shot opponent, but there is something to be said for being the sexiest.

Chael Sonnen No Longer Wants Anderson Silva Rematch? (VIDEO)

Fuel TV‘s upcoming weekly MMA news program, UFC Tonight released a preview of a segment called, “Chael’s Corner” (see video below) featuring Chael Sonnen in all his witty glory, taking verbal jabs at the usual.

Fuel TV‘s upcoming weekly MMA news program, UFC Tonight released a preview of a segment called, “Chael’s Corner” (see video below) featuring Chael Sonnen in all his witty glory, taking verbal jabs at the usual suspects: Lyoto Machida, Wanderlei Silva, and Anderson Silva. Got to hand it to Chael, he is ceaselessly equipped with a fresh take on the same old insults. Sonnen also hints that once he earns back his title-shot, he isn’t planning to fight the Middleweight Champion, Silva and suggests that Jon Jones and Georges St. Pierre should be “swallowing real deep” right now, which conjures up imagery that frankly makes me feel quite uncomfortable. What is this? The Sonnen Redemption? I’m guessing he just means they should be really nervous, but with that kind of wording, I fear all types of brutality.
