Homoerotic Photo of the Week: BJ Penn and Matt Hughes???

I’m not saying this is ghey, because it takes a very confident straight man to ride bitch on a motorbike. Props to BJ Penn and his newfound bromance with Matt Hughes.

BJ Penn and Jake Shields Agree to Fight

BJ Penn has taken to Twitter (possibly for some of that Zuffa incentive cash) to call out Jake Shields. Guess, (just like the rest of us) even Penn isn’t interested in that Jon Fitch rematch..

I’m a BJ fan but let’s get it on. Make the call

even better, let’s make it the first 5 round non-title fight

Penn’s response:

If that makes you feel more confident….. sure.

Georges St-PierreIt’s hard to believe that Georges St. Pierre could win his ninth straight fight, defending his welterweight title in front of 55,000 fans in one of the biggest events in UFC history, and have it feel like something of a letdown.

But that is how St. Pierre’s unanimous decision victory over Jake Shields felt to many fans: We’ve seen this so many times — St. Pierre spending 25 minutes demonstrating that the other man in the Octagon is simply nowhere near as good as he is — that it’s starting to feel routine. And that’s not how one of the greatest fighters in history stepping into the Octagon should feel.

So are there any challenges remaining in the welterweight division? We’ll look at that question as we run down the Top 10 welterweights in MMA.
