Schaub: 'Ronda would smash Ian McCall In The Gi'
BJPENN.COM News - March 7, 2015
“I like Ian. He’d be surprised. If he put on a gi, Ronda would rag-doll him around the gym. He would be surprised. I’ve seen her rag-doll bigger, very skilled fighters. MMA, professional fighters. I’ve seen her destroy men. Fighters who were way bigger than him. She could definitely beat some of the 135ers in the UFC.”

Vitor Belfort Happy With Decision To Turn Down UFC 184 Bout
BJPENN.COM News - March 7, 2015
“The way I see it is from my lens — the lens of truth. When something goes wrong, it’s not me that makes decisions. It’s not my fault if the [fight] got canceled. It’s not because I got an injury, it’s because Chris Weidman got an injury. People think, ‘Oh, Vitor is gonna step up.’ But my trainer said, ‘No, we’re gonna wait.’ They offered him one fight. It’s business, it’s dealing. In business, sometimes it doesn’t go the way you think. It’s nothing personal. I think the injury wasn’t big enough, so the coaches, with my office, they decided let’s wait for Chris. [I’ve] been waiting for a year. This is a fight the fans want to see. And look at the card. The card is amazing.”

Ronda: Fighting a man is not going to happen
BJPENN.COM News - March 6, 2015
“It’s not a reality. They’re not gonna do anything like that. Fights are chaotic. Anything can happen. And there’s no setting in which we should condone a man hitting a woman.” “I really just don’t think that any athletic commission on Earth would ever condone something like that. Fights are going to go both ways. You’re going to see both people hitting each other. I don’t think we should celebrate a man hitting a woman in any kind of setting.”

Sonnen on Cyborg: Stop "Bizarre" Ronda Callouts And Make Weight
BJPENN.COM News - March 6, 2015
“I know her (Cyborg) personally and she’s a very nice gal. If you judge a book by the cover, you will be wrong about her. That said, the only person holding up that fight is her. Ronda Rousey is at 135 pounds in the UFC. She’ll fight any 135 pound woman out there. Cyborg is not in the UFC and she is not 135 pounds. Cris seems to be the one that wants the fight, but she’s also the one holding it up. I appreciate her callouts and the intensity behind them, but the reality is still that she’s dragging her feet here. She has to get to 135 to get into the UFC. That’s all she has to do.

Weidman Reacts To Silva's PEDS -- 'I'd retire early before using steroids'
BJPENN.COM News - March 6, 2015
“I was always under the belief that at least the top guys weren’t taking [PEDs]. I really believed that. I was naive. I thought taking steroids and performance enhancers is a mental weakness that the top, cream of the crop guys didn’t have to take. It was the guys that weren’t capable of being the best that needed them to try to hang with the best.”
