His greasing crusade never amounted to much, but UFC lightweight champ BJ Penn won't rest until arch-rival Georges St. Pierre is busted for something. In a new interview with Yahoo! Sports, the Prodigy launched yet another explosive accusation:
"It’s just my opinion that he uses steroids. That’s it...I can’t hand you any proof, but that’s my opinion...In my opinion, he doesn’t play by the rules when it comes to steroids and growth hormones and that stuff. Look at him. He’s the worst. He looks like that every day. That’s cheating. There is a reason why there are rules against using steroids. The rest of us, we get fat, then we train and get skinny and the cycle goes over and over again. He looks the same way all the time. Come on.”
Allow us to float an alternate theory: GSP is bigger and stronger than BJ genetically, and works out all year long, and Penn is just saying these things to bait St. Pierre into a third fight that nobody wants to see except Penn himself. I mean, I can't hand you any proof on this, but it's my opinion.
Interestingly, the Yahoo! article in question is titled "Is B.J. Penn misunderstood?", and suggests that maybe he's not the spoiled crybaby that many fans think he is. But these baseless steroid accusations answer that question beyond a shadow of a doubt: No, he's not misunderstood. He's every bit the aggravating, in-denial whiner that we think he is. Give it up, dude. You have a fight in two days.
Semi-related: In this FightHype interview with Firas Zahabi, GSP's head trainer describes the welterweight champ as a "trainaholic" who won't leave the gym, and also reveals a compelling new addition to their camp:
"We have
Jon 'Bones' Jones training here at Zahabi MMA and Tri Star Gym, which is my MMA club. So now we have Georges, if he has to get ready for Anderson Silva, he's got a great partner in Jon Bones. He's got the tall, lanky body type, he has incredible Muay Thai; a tricky style of Muay Thai as well and he has the reach like Anderson Silva. I think he would be a very good training partner for Georges if that fight ever happens. Of course, we're going to be training with him whether that fight happens or not. But yeah, we have Jon 'Bones' Jones joining us right now.
I'm going to do my best to mold him. We’re going to be working with Greg Jackson of course and the entire team that works with Georges St. Pierre will be working with Jon Jones. I expect a lot from this kid man. This kid is the real thing. I trained with him this morning and I’ve trained with a lot of fighters; this kid is the real thing. I see a lot of St. Pierre in him!"

Johnny B Says:
Wow. Bones Jones mixing it up with GPS, Firas and the Jackson camp? Scary thought. His future looks even brighter than it did before, if that's possible.
Johnny B Says:
Did I say GPS?
Crap Factory Says:
Jesus Christ, BJ. Give it a rest. You've lost all respect douche bag.
MIRJITSU Says:
Get over it Blow Job. He beat your ass! If your guard was velcro GSP would have still beat your ass in that fight. And the UFC Crybaby of the Year Award goes to .......(drumroll)... B.J. Penn.. again!! Will anyone ever beat him out for this award? I think not!
agentsmith Says:
Not surprising that someone who was born with both money and natural fighting talents doesn't understand the merits of hard work and dedication.
jimbonics Says:
BlowJob Penn is the fucking worst. I'm no Kenny Florian fan, but I hope Kenny yanks that belt away from him!
El Famous Burrito Says:
BJ Penn: "Man, how does that guy do it? How does he spend his downtime eating fried Spam sandwiches, topped with donuts and laying on the beach like a quadriplegic sea lion, and not get fat?"
Random Hawaiian Ass-Kisser: "I dunno, Steroids?"
BJ: "I knew it!"
LoneWolf Says:
BJ Penn is such a damn fool sometimes....what are we like 5 and the bully stole your lunch money. WTF...he beat you...twice, get over it.
I can't wait to see Jon "Bones" Jones in his next fight...this kids gonna be a monster at 205, even more so with this move. NICE!
tuRdLe420 Says:
everytime BJ talks i lose more respect for him. but can't see that happening anymore cas he's pretty much hit bottom and lost it all with most fans. take the loss and move on.
Biv37 Says:
As a former D1 athlete and a person born with more physical attributes than the average person, I can tell you that it is possible for a person to retain EXTREMELY low body fat all year round. GSP is just on another level. DEAL WITH IT BJ!! Guys like GSP, Lesner, and LaBron James are born when people with exceptional genetics work from an exceptional worth ethic.
Cocky Says:
BJ needs to got eat a fat **** !!! I wonder if hes realized that GSP has NEVER tested positive??? The Prodigy sounds more like The Pussy.
Phil Baloni Says:
he's acting more and more like a scumbag with these baseless accusations. furthermore, it's amazing that he's singled out a guy who obviously works his ass off and has repeatedly conducted himself with almost total humility.
Pingu Says:
Bones is going to be a scary motherfucker. Ho. Lee. Shit.
ACEness Says:
BJ Penn is reaching that level that I am no longer surprised by anything he says or does.
I am pretty sure his next topic will how he can beat Brock Lesnar....or how he killed a chubacabra when he was a wee little hilo boy.
bigvikefan Says:
"The rest of us, we get fat, then we train"...that's right WE'RE all equal. Leave me out when your whining, Mr. "Prodigy". Prodigy means equal right?
Jugger Says:
Quick Question: Why, for Pete's sake, would a professional fighter not be in the gym every day? Where does this mentality that fighters only get into the gym 2 months before a fight come from? I don't get it.
I don't think a fighter should be training like a madman all year, but to lay out and gain 30 pounds just because you don't have a fight coming up is a weird mentality to have if you ask me.
C-Bus Allstar Says:
Opinions are like assholes. And this is BJ Penn's asshole, he's just showing it off.
Horror Fighter Says:
This just in: GSP had adamantium bonded to his skeleton. How else could he have cut BJ? Come on.
Next week, BJ reveals how Greg Jackson uses voodoo to fix fights.
Sho Nuff Says:
I always figured GSP juiced. Lousy, greasy cheater. Would be nice to see him fight clean and dry for once and get owned.
Jesus Frijoles Says:
Next thing you know BJ's mom is going to hold a press conference about this.Please Krom hear my prayer, lend your might to Kenflo's hellbows. Wipe this whiny cabbage patch baby off the face of mma.
Horror Fighter Says:
OK, all kidding aside, here's what kills me. In the UFC 101 Countdown, BJ admitted he was finished after the first round with GSP. He said that his corner throwing in the towel saved him. His own brother admitted that BJ's conditioning has always been lacking.
So enough with the accusations. You know what the problem is. You've supposedly fixed it with your last training camp, and you're going to show us a well-conditioned, five-round fighter in Philly.
If you dominate Florian and clear out the 155-pound division of any real threats, jump up weight again -- but follow the Anderson Silva model. Don't go straight after the champion in the next weight class's division. Show you can dominate at a higher weight. Start with a respected fighter at 170 -- a Jon Fitch, a Josh Koshcheck. If you perform, you'll earn a rematch against GSP.
Until then, please...shut up.
LukeTheDuke Says:
BJ -
You need to shut up. When you talk, your brain doesn't tell your mouth what to say. At LtD Labratories we discovered a neurotransmitter in your colon that is sending signals to your vocal chords. You might want to sit down, this may be hard to digest, But BJ, you talk straight from your ass.
- LtD M.D.
PhillyTronik Says:
So if B.J. also loses to Ken Flo will he say that Kenny has steel plates grafted into his elbows. Poor B.J. keeps fighting a bunch of X-Men
Old_Bald_and_Irish Says:
"I see a lot of St. Pierre in him!"
....ewwww!
Get a room.
HC Honkanen Says:
Come on, not every fighter or "the rest of us" is on a be fat - train - get skinny - fight - get fat again - cycle. That's plain stupid. Look around. Cutting weight aside that is.
LukeTheDuke Says:
P.S. Its your fucking job to train, not get fat and keep training. I don't know where your values are but you're not really turning people OFF from thinking your a fucking slacker by saying shit like that. Your still steaming mad about your loss and your looking for a way to justify so your ego can recover. Why are you still dwelling on GSP? KenFlo....in 2 days. Get to the gym you sissy little fuck. Or come to CT and you and I will do some cardio, I've always wanted to make BJ Penn cry. (because its not enough when he does it on his own.)
Dubbayoo Says:
maybe gsp looks like that all the time because he's always training..
ecimmortal Says:
Not trying to lend credence to what BJ says. But don't be deluded into thinking that PED's have not crept there way into the highest levels of the sport. There is so much more than steroids. Cow blood (synthetic), autologous blood transfusions, HGH, or IGF-1, slin, acto, androgens, vasilodators, stimulants, etc.
Imagine having a great skillset, and NEVER getting tired. I'm sure the commisions aren't testing for a whole slew of productsand methods.
Just because no one has been caught doesn't mean that they aren't enhancing their performance.
The sport is becoming big money, you better believe that the top dogs will do whats needed to keep the edge.
All that said BJ got stomped, needs to stop talking, and rape the fuck out of the lightweight division till all the contenders quit, or drop 10 more pounds and go to the WEC.
ReDx Says:
Is it impossible for BJ to not be a little bitch? I gained a tiny bit of respect for him after watching the countdown where he seemed humbled and admitted defeated. Two days later he's back to the bitching.
Bag Puncher Says:
Favorite BJ Penn fight moment: UFC 46 vs Matt Hughes. During the fight Joe Rogan yells "This is the best BJ we have seen in a long time!" and everyone in the booth quickly agrees with him. See it's funny because BJ can also mean something else, something perverted.
GSP does juice, BJ and I held him down and measured his head and it was like 3 hat sizes bigger then when he entered the league. Plus when we felt his balls they were all small and stuff.
BackbaconBilly Says:
@ Horror Fighter
"Next week, BJ reveals how Greg Jackson uses voodoo to fix fights"
I knew it!! LOL
I so hope that Kenny puts his elbows thru BJ's pumpkin head.
I Know Nothing Says:
BJ......SHUT THE F*@K UP!!!!!! You got your ass handed to you by a man who lives to train & whose basic tenet in life appears to be discipline. GSP's physique shows none of the physical attributes of roid or growth hormone usage so please give it a rest.
Biffmiester Says:
This is just envy. B.J.'s just talkin' smack outta his cornhole cuz he couldn't get Shonie Carter in a gold speedo to his own 3 ft. pool party after he beat Sherk. I won't be surprised if Dana confronts BJ about this though seriously to stfu already.
sPeLLcHeCkEr Says:
I love the "STFU BJ" posts, simply for the fact that they're actually directed to BJ.
Because, yknow, he's on here all day too.
Oh, and war KenFlo.
Deadpanda Says:
What? Did BJ's mom suggest this to him as a plausible explanation as to why her Baby got spanked by a better athlete?
War Ken Flo!

831 Son Says:
What a bitch. I hope Florian puts this douche into a coma for a few months.
Thats some damn good news that Jon Jones is training with GSP and his guys. That dude is a beast and never really has a dull moment in his fights.
Titos Head Says:
LOL thats the best photo caption
cwr Says:
I would like to propose a Tito style ban on all BJ Penn whining stories until he whines about something with a reasonable amount of proof backing the accusation. Please Bens, spare us all.

ifyernasty Says:
Jesus fucking CHRIST shut the fuck up BJ Penn.
Next he'll be on that it wasn't actually GSP in the fucking cage with him, it was a fucking mutant culled from GSP's DNA and spawned by Phil Jackson's secret underground lab called Fuck You Beej, located in the wilds of New Mexico.
I know he has a kid, so he apparently stuck his dick in something...but how does this bitch get laid?
El Famous Burrito Says:
Phil Jackson?
I thought Phil Jackson's super secret lab was in Death Valley, and called Fuck You, Shaq?
Are we thinking of the same guy?
SiDeBuRnZ Says:
I see a lot of St. Pierre in him!
I really hope that was a metaphor and not a literal reference as to how they welcome new fighters to the camp.
kempo666 Says:
A public service announcement from B.J "Sand in his V.J" Penn.
BackbaconBilly Says:
For God's sake C.P stop quoting stories from yahoo sports, it has to be one of the worst and innacurate news/sports reporting sources going...lame!
Seoul Brother Says:
@BackbaconBilly: Well yeah, of course Yahoo Sports sucks. But then again, they have pretty high exposure, and a lot of jagoffs are going to base their opinions on shit they post.
I was never a big GSP fan. He talked a lot of shit before and after fights with Matt Hughes & Matt Serra. He displayed a lot of insensitivity, but I cannot deny that he has an exemplary work ethic.
Could Bloated Jabrone Penn be jealous that GSP is a Gatorade poster boy and not him? I don't understand how someone with Penn's background isn't in the gym more often than jumping out of the shallow end of pools or making pathetic attempts at talking shit in online videos. Dude, leave that to weak ass teenage bitches and Britney Spears fans.
Penn is a pathetic bloated cunt.
Jay Smith Says:
"GSP's physique shows none of the physical attributes of roid or growth hormone usage so please give it a rest."
YEAH!!!! Look reeeeaal closely at GSP's big ol, giant, smooth, naturally oily, fair-skinned, pectoral muscles. Look how tight that dudes butt is in his fightin clothes. His legs and arms look so damn skrong, I be like..."Rear naked choke me, rear naked choke me!!!!".......... when we be trainin and stuff........cause we be workin on the rear naked choke technique sometimes..........
Whatever dude, you know what I'm sayin.
Komodo Says:
I hope Floreenie cracks his fucking jaw so he'll have to shut up for a while.
AkilleeZ Says:
Bones is a beast. He friggen fought 7 times in 2008 without a single loss. Its gonna be scary now that his fights will be spaced out enough time for him to train longer...with GSP...scary....just scary...

@El Famous Burrito
Goddamnit, you're right..too much BJ rage.
