Well this isn’t good. Displeased with his portrayal as a spoiled brat on last week’s debut episode of UFC Primetime, BJ Penn has responded by…acting like a spoiled brat. According to MMA Junkie:
As on HBO’s boxing series 24/7 — from which Primetime takes many cues — the fighters on the UFC hype-show are set up as dueling opposites right from the beginning. Georges St. Pierre is the tireless hard-worker who struggled for everything he has and now enjoys wearing expensive suits, while Penn is the blessed-from-birth party-boy who sees no problem in taking five days off from training three weeks before the fight of his life, and generally prefers the RVCA t-shirt and shorts look. Obviously, those characterizations are exaggerated to create drama for the show — I don’t think anyone really believes that Penn isn’t taking this fight seriously — but nevertheless they got under the Prodigy’s skin and now he’s pulling the ultimate diva move and throwing a wrench into the UFC’s new multi-million dollar promotional tool.
Episode 2 of UFC Primetime airs tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Spike TV, and the third and final episode will likely air next Wednesday, with or without Penn’s participation. We’re more concerned about the mental distraction that Penn might be facing at this point. A week ago he was a happy-go-lucky dude, catching some rays in Kona. Now he’s dodging furious phone calls from Dana White, while MMA fans across the country are calling him a lazy little punk. Will he be able to keep all of that out of his head on the 31st? Or is this a manufactured move to draw even more heat behind the matchup?

I would bang the hell out of BJ's girlfriend. And I am not joking about this.

BJ " the drama queen" Penn
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:06
Any time I think of BJ Penn, I think of a pen where people get BJ's. I love imagery!
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:08
IMO I don't think BJ Penn will want to keep any of this out of his head, all this is going to fuel more rage, he fights better and works harder when he is angry at someone, look how he destroyed Pulver, and how hard he worked and the game plan he put together to walk through Sherk....an angry BJ Penn is a dangerous BJ Penn, I say keep it up Dana, make him as mad as possible, cause he is going to take it all out on GSP!!
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:08
It was reported that Penn stormed out of the filming because of his bitter rivalry with a cameraman on scene named Sherk.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:09
i fucking hate Penn. i wish you guys could hear my impression of that no talent ass clown, its dead on
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:09
"They got under the Prodigy's skin and now he's pulling the ultimate diva move and throwing a wrench into the UFC's new multi-million dollar promotional tool." Uhg.... While MANY will interpret this as a "diva" move, I'm hoping that this is BJ saying "enough of this crap, get out". If I was training for the fight of my life, I wouldn't want cameras following me around and people manufacturing negative views of me. Face it, just like Ben said: "the fighters on the UFC hype-show are set up as dueling opposites right from the beginning". That's manufacturing drama. All the reality shows do it. "The Biggest Loser" has gotten it down to a freakin' art. In the long run, this is probably the best thing for BJ. My question is: How badly will Dana freak out/overreact to this snub? I mean, "UFC Primetime" is Dana's show too, right? I mean, so far, he's on camera more than GSP. "NOBODY pees on Dana's fruit tray. NOBODY!" I bet Dana will sign Fedor to a one fight deal and force him to fight Penn just to punish BJ.

Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:11
Oh my goodness, I would do terrible things with BJ's girlfriend's anus.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:13
If it makes BJ mad and it causes him to fight harder then I am all for pissing that little fella off. I have to agree with OBI that all of the cameras and attention this close to the fight could be trowing BJ off his game a little. Lets just hope that its the former and not the latter.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:13
Its a publicity stunt. the ratings will go through the roof and at the post-fight presser BJ will state that it was all a hoax. As long as he fights, who cares about the dumb show.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:15
Thank you BJ. The odds of you winning go down with stunts like this, and I want to bet on you anyway so keep it up buddy!
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:18
Interesting side note. Spike spelled St. Pierre, George, during one of the promos I saw on spike.com.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:31
BJ is basically saying we're stupid and we don't realize that the show over-dramatized his laid back approach to training. BJ: If you had enough time to watch the primetime special, you aren't training hard enough to beat GSP. Get in the gym you dumb lazy fuck.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:33
This is one more little thing that BJ's done to possibly suggest that this fight is really getting under his skin. That he's more nervous than he'd like people to believe. He's made hints recently that he doesn't really know his plans for the future following the fight with Georges. I felt like he was suggesting that he'd be done with fighting because he was bored, not interested in training or whatever. Then he takes a very unusual five day vacation a few weeks before his mega fight. Now he has a tantrum and pulls out of the tv show. I wonder if BJ is discovering that he doesn't have the interest/drive/tenacity/toughness/whatever to fight at the elite level against people who will really give him a run for his money. I'm sorry- Jens Pulver, Joe Stevenson, and a "look at my new boxing skills" Shawn Sherk don't qualify as elite level. Did he train? Yeah. More than usual? Yeah. Did he train like the elite do? No, probably not. He's pulled strange moves before (left the UFC for K-1 while holding the belt). I don't think he's nearly as mentally tough or together as people would like you to believe.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:39
OBI says "If I was training for the fight of my life....." Something tells me the fight of your life would involve a feisty eight year old, duct tape and homemade chloroform. I kid, I kid. Nobody loves you more than me, OBI, remember that (except the Bens, of course). Look, it doesn't matter if BJ's on the show, off the show, mad, happy or indifferent.... GSP is going to win.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:45
@Chuck-You cannot use the word Elite, without mentioning BJ Penn, He is a fighter, He wants to seal his legacy, and he is going to.... OB&I-I'll piss all up in Dana's Fruit tray....And BJ would crush Fedor!!
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:48

Judging by that rack, BJ works A LOT harder on his "days off" than people give him credit for!
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:58
Homo.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 12:59
I'd like to "hang loose" all over BJ's girlfriend, if ya know what I mean. Also, I'd like to engage in consensual sexual intercourse within the confines of a traditional relationship with her.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 01:00
Bj's only chance in competition with fedor would be to enter a headbutting bout and use that enormous head that seems to be impervious to damage.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 01:01
Does this mean we have to hear more french rap in the final episode?
Wed, 01/21/09 - 01:14
Dont know how to really take this....is it a publicity stunt, or does BJ not want us to see his weaknesses. Who knows what the fuck, but this is for sure....if it is not a publicity stunt, BJ actually telling Dana White "Fuck you". Not many people get to do that. BJ might have the UFC by the balls. Something very rare in this company. Dont know....what does everyone think?
Wed, 01/21/09 - 01:14
Even if this does prove to be a publicity stunt, is that really where BJ's efforts should be focused right now? Playing celebrity while GSP trains his ass off. I have had an inkling feeling that BJ will come into this fight with no more than three rounds worth of cardio and this type of crap doesn't make me feel any better about it. Ten more days...
Wed, 01/21/09 - 01:23

Wed, 01/21/09 - 01:37
I cant wait until gsp rips bjs fucking head off!
Wed, 01/21/09 - 01:41
It's funny that you mention that this might be a manufactured move to draw more attention. I thought the "BJ's on vacation" drama was a work. The scene where Dana called BJ to ask about the vacation from New York seemed like an act, all the scenes looked too forced. If it was legit, you would think Dana would have thrown out more F-bombs. The show was good and sells itself without trying to create more drama.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 02:01
Everyone is looking way too much into this. All BJ is doing is saying get the fuck away so that I can train to kick Frenchee's ass since everyone seems to think that all I do is go to Kona to bang my girl. The UFC pissed him off and for a good reason....they know BJ fights at his best when he is pissed. They want BJ to come with his "A" game and as we all know, someone has to push BJ's buttons in order to get him motivated enough to train hard. I feel really bad for GSP. I know he doesn't "drink or take drugs" but he will definitely start after BJ destroys him and his pound-for-pound status.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 02:10
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I WANT MY BA-BA! GIVE ME A TITLE SHOT OR I'LL SCREAM!!! WAAAAAAAAAH!!! STOP TELLING PEOPLE THAT I'M GOING ON VACATION WHEN I SHOULD BE TRAINING THEN BACKING IT UP WITH VIDEO EVIDENCE! WAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Wed, 01/21/09 - 02:15
This is a pretty odd thing to do. Hopefully it is him just throwing a tantrum. Seems to me that a smart fighter would let false information about his readiness go out to as many people as possible. Even more seriously, it seems to me that a smart fighter wouldn't be watching these produced shows on him and his opponent 1 month before the fight. I've got 20 bucks and a little pride on the line in this fight. I put it on Penn... I really hope his mental game is stronger than it is looking right now.

Wed, 01/21/09 - 02:55
I don't know why everyone has made a big deal about him taking 5 days off. I have heard of several fighters that take a few days off a few weeks before the fight to make sure they "peak" right at the time of the fight. Give the little blood licking, rich pussy a break. I think I spermed in my pants a little bit after looking at his girl lelo.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 02:55
BJ has always been a piece of shit, and nothing has changed. Good to see he and his girlfriend have matching muffin-tops, though.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 03:25
I think it's funny that your article includes these two sentences in consecutive paragraphs... "I don't think anyone really believes that Penn isn't taking this fight seriously" "...while MMA fans across the country are calling him a lazy little punk." Make up your mind CP.

"Fortunately UFC was able to fill up the remainder of the final show with interactions between BJ Penn and Andy Wang"
Wed, 01/21/09 - 05:06
Firstly, BJ's girl is smokin. Now, to less important matters, im not a Penn fan, far from it, but if i was helping promote a fight and they made me out to look like a spoiled lazy silver spoon in the mouth kinda guy i wouldnt be happy either.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 05:12
Would you eat bean dip out of her ass with Tostitos Scoops?
Wed, 01/21/09 - 05:19
Dana White needs an intervention. Some disinterested but qualified 3rd party needs to step in and say "You need to calm down. You've bought your own hype. You're acting like KISS when they started selling merchandising rights for toilet scrubbers and releasing concept albums."
Wed, 01/21/09 - 05:47
who needs Scoops???
Wed, 01/21/09 - 06:48
The hawaiian bobblehead playing possum? Possibly. The cameras gettting into BJ's head? Possibly. Penn calling GSP a quitter, then quitting himself? Ironic. Personally I hope that an angry, motivated and determined Penn shows up on the 31rst. That way, when GSP knocks his arrogant ass back to the LW division for the 2nd time, Penn won't have any excuses. I think Junie Browning, War Machine, Michael Bisping, Nate Diaz, Matt Hughes, and BJ Penn should just have an mma royal rumble in the octagon with all the losers going to fight in Japan for sushi and cheap karaoke strippers permanently. The winner should just be traded to Affliction for Fedor and vodka.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 08:26
Anyone see what BJ is holding in his hand other then his cell phone?
Wed, 01/21/09 - 08:26
That is bullshit how they portrayed BJ the first episode! BJ is still a champ and he trains like a champ. This shit has a spin to it. I think that they are doing this to create more hype or maybe BJ did this on purpose to fool GSP into underestimating him.
Wed, 01/21/09 - 10:03
Long time MMA follower. I use to love BJ but now I realize he's as bad as Tito. I've seen fights of his where after his win Joe would ask him "what do you think of your performance?" He would just say "you want to know what BJ thinks? go to BJPenn.com". Hey BJ, go fuck your-so-full-of-yourself attitude. You and Tito should get a room....bitches. Humble your ass down.
Thu, 01/22/09 - 02:02
Perhaps Penn one of the best pound for pound fighters in the World took exception that his traning camp was being continually being interupted by some trumped up no talent 'promoter' spamming his cell phone, home phone and BROTHERS phone [wtf] with BS 'You bedder be phukn tranin' messages. Penn to Dana: "Phuk off Dana You closet homo go back to playing XBOX and doing your shithouse blogs and leave me to train my own phuking way"
Thu, 01/22/09 - 05:06

Fri, 01/23/09 - 07:14
BJ Penn is such a punk, Oh, I don't like how I'm portrayed on TV. BJ's really living up to the name Baby-J or should I say Baby-Gay. Oh yeah right, he's the one who called GSP a quitter. I hope GSP shuts this douche bag up once and sends him crying all the way back to lightweight division where he belongs.
