“Anderson Silva is so far the best fighter in the world, (expletive) pound-for-pound, they ought to make a whole other list for him. I don’t know what you call it, but he should be on that list. That’s how good this guy is. This guy is 38 years old and still performing at the level. Bonnar went the distance with Jon Jones and he said to me after his fight with Anderson Silva, he was in total shock. Not to mention the fact that we find out he was on steroids. He’s on steroids. He’s already the bigger, stronger guy. Anderson Silva has 36 days to prepare for that fight. He (expletive) annihilated him. So after the fight, he says to me, ‘That guy lives in the Matrix. Nobody’s ever done that to me in my life. I felt like I never fought a day in my life when I went in there with this guy.” “When has Anderson Silva never stepped up to the plate and done what we asked him or needed him to do? Even fighting at 205 on a month’s notice. That’s how good Anderson Silva is. I feel like the media and the fans don’t grasp it, don’t get it as much as I do.”

“The reason I told the UFC they should match me up with Luke, is because I was looking at some rankings the other day, and I saw his name in the Top 10, and I just thought that was kind of ridiculous. He hasn’t fought in a while, and I can’t even say that I’ve seen any of his fights. Regardless, when I looked him up, people do have him in the Top 10, so that’s a fight I think I need. I think I belong up there more than he does… The UFC is where the best fighters in the world are, and he needs to come over and prove himself. He can say what he wants, I’m ready to fight any time. I’m not the one pulling out of fights. Who knows when he’ll be ready to fight, but hopefully it’s around the same time I am, around February or March. You know, I do a lot of charities, so I guess we can call this another charity, me trying to help him get in the UFC. Like I said, I’ve never really watched any of his fights, I think I may have seen a highlight, but I’m a game opponent, and I come to fight hard. I feel like I’ve really hit my stride and I’m training with good guys. I’m ready for those top guys, and if his name is on that list, I’m gonna knock him off. This isn’t just at Luke. I don’t know him personally or dislike the guy, but I’m going after those guys that are ranked, because I need to work my way up. I figure rather than sitting back and waiting to see who the UFC will give me, I’ll just let them know who I want to fight. Joe Silva always says, ‘If you want to fight somebody, let us know, and we’ll try to make it happen.”

By Duane Finley: Every fighter’s journey through mixed martial arts is different. In most cases, victory and defeat dictates every step, ultimately shaping the direction a career will travel, but every now and again, a fighter comes along who doesn’t fit into any particular mold. If ever there was a mixed martial artist who matched this description it is B.J. Penn.

By Dr. Johnny Benjamin UFC on Fox 5 is nearly here and to suggest that I’m more than just a bit excited would be a gross understatement! The card is stacked and I mean stacked from top to bottom and as an early Christmas or Chanukah gift it is FREE! Many are eagerly anticipating what appears to be one helluva a scrap for all the marbles when Nate Diaz takes on the Champ Benson Henderson. But honestly another fight may go down in history as a more significant occurrence or what my father would describe as a ‘watershed event’; Rory MacDonald vs. BJ Penn. Let me explain.
