Dear DC - Jon Jones Isn't A 50 Year Old Hendo
BJPENN.COM News - December 27, 2014
“Your last fight was against Dan Henderson. You beat a guy that was 50 years old. And now you’re stepping in there against a 27-year-old who’s going to come in there at 227 pounds — healthy, young and athletic. If he thinks he’s getting in there against a Dan Henderson, or that’s giving him any type of sense of security where he thinks he’s just going to rule the light heavyweight division, he’s sadly mistaken.”
CM Punk: 'I'll be OK taking real punches"
BJPENN.COM News - December 27, 2014
“I suppose the easy answer to what Brock’s shortcomings were that he probably needed to spar more. Everyone always likes to say Brock hated getting hit in the face. I don’t know who likes getting hit in the face, but I guess he did need to work on his stand-up defense. “
"NOT WORTHY OF TITLE SHOT"
BJPENN.COM News - December 27, 2014
“I don’t agree with Conor McGregor getting a title shot, especially after beating Dennis Siver, if he does. Why is that deserving of a title shot? Dennis Siver is not on the way up; he’s not up there looking for a title shot himself. Why not put Conor McGregor vs. Frankie Edgar? Why not put Conor McGregor against Chad Mendes, or Lamas, or one of those top guys, who’s actually pushing for the belt? Just because he has the hype behind him, and he’s been talking a big game, and he’s going to sell tickets, I just don’t think it’s right to surpass the Frankie Edgars, the guys that could beat Conor McGregor.” “I think Frankie Edgar would destroy Conor McGregor. Chad Mendes would destroy Conor McGregor. We haven’t seen Conor McGregor fight a wrestler or a top name.”

Coker Reacts To UFC Lawsuit: 'Bellator isn't minor league'
BJPENN.COM News - December 27, 2014
“Labeling a league based on the past can be misleading, because the fighters that are here today fighting for us are gonna be the next Luke Rockholds, the next Daniel Cormiers. They’re going to be the next stars of MMA. “Do I think Bellator is a minor league? The answer is no.”
Josh Burkman: Lombard should be the one worried
BJPENN.COM News - December 27, 2014
“I know I’m an underdog in this fight. I’ve been an underdog ever since I came back. Even in my fights in Utah everybody said ‘oh Burkman’s old he doesn’t have anything left’. Then I come into World Series of Fighting and I’m a 4-to-1 underdog against Gerald Harris, I’m a 3-to-1 underdog against Aaron Simpson, I’m a 4-to-1 underdog against Jon Fitch, so this is just my path. “The reason I’ve gotten where I’m at is because I win fights I’m not supposed to win. I’m going to continue to do that. I really believe I’m about to make a run. Hector Lombard is the one who should be worried.”

BJPENN.COM News - December 26, 2014

Couture: 'Relaionship with UFC non-existent'
BJPENN.COM News - December 26, 2014

Bellator Going After Brock Lesnar, Will Fight For All Top Fighters
BJPENN.COM News - December 26, 2014
“There hasn’t been any serious dialogue. But when the time comes to have serious dialogue, we’ll be right there. There’s not going to be a fighter on the planet we can’t afford and have access to. I think one of the things we were really able to do bring is back the casual fan,” Coker said. “Those casual fans seemed to have jumped away from MMA for a little bit. Names like Ortiz and Bonnar brought them back. If fighters like that are available, you can be sure we’ll make a run at them.”

Nelson: "I could easily make lightweight"
BJPENN.COM News - December 26, 2014
“I could easily make lightweight. Compared to my team mates and what they have to go through to make weight, it would be easy for me. But I enjoy eating and I’d rather do that than starve myself. In this (Story) fight I felt like I could’ve been moving more freely in general. I was a bit restrained and that was down to me. I was stopping myself from moving certain ways. I think I could have engaged in to this a little bit earlier and a few fights ago. You don’t always feel great in your fights but you get through it. This time I lost. Maybe it was what I needed to wake me up. I think regardless of whether I got the decision or not, the way the fight went and the way I felt in this fight was not the ideal fight for someone like me. You want to mix it up better, you don’t just want to go to war. You want to finish the fight. But sometimes it is like this – this is the sport. I’ll be back.”
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
