A motivated BJ Penn is one of the all time greats in mixed martial arts. And this fight, BJ Penn is motivated, as can be seen at a glance at the murder's row of fighters he brought into his training camp.

That does in fact look like a pretty bad ass training camp.

Rafa Mendes is amazing. 10 moves ahead of the world.

I think Rory is in some serious trouble Phone Post

what I wouldn't give to see some footage of BJ and Rafa rolling

Been fooled by BJ's training too many times. He looks great, jumping out of swimming pools ect.... then gasses after the 1st round.

Rory by way of cardio. Phone Post

EvilEye - This will be the best BJ we've ever seen.

I sure hope so. WAR BJPENNDOTCOM

I don't know about that one. I just don't like him fighting @WW. Best of luck to a Legend, though.

BJ Penn all day every day!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so stoked for this

Well, I think it's safe to say that if Rory can get past BJ he will be as good as well all think he is.

12

If Rory beats BJ, then refuses to fight GSP, this place will explode!

13

1-3-1 in his last 5 at WW. Rory is training with a team and fighter that beat him twice. Too late for BJ to start training hard Phone Post

UGCTT croy_00 - Well, I think it's safe to say that if Rory can get past BJ he will be as good as well all think he is.

Nah, his haters will say that BJ wasn't motivated (he's only motivated when he wins) and he beat a blown up lightweight. Just like Rory gets no credit for crushing Nate Diaz.

Pat Healey looking like a gigantic 155 pounder in some of those pictures, pretty wild to see him next to welter Woodley.  For that matter the Punk looks pretty big comparatively as well.

Revenge of the Nerds

Hope bj will not be a victim of the revenge of the nerds. Phone Post

rory's stand-up didnt look that great in his last fight, if bj can keep it on the feet (and his training with Askren can only help his already amazing take down defense) he might just be able to hurt rory bad

Rafa is much more technically advanced than the entire LW BJJ division, and that's the most advanced div out ther. A lot of guys impose their strength or speed with technique. Rafa looks weaker than almost everyone he battles but overwhelms by insanely quick techniques and rapidly linking them together. No matter where he is at he has a multitude of techniques to finish or sweep. I have a DVD of his and there is so much stuff on there I have never seen ANYONE else show. The stuff is bizzare and incredibly difficult to do, but works so easy because NO ONE else knows it.

Motivated BJ will only last one round, then gassed out BJ will magically appear
