This week, BJ Penn has been getting friendly with the English press in preparation for his fight next week for the UFC Lightweight title. He’s showing an unusual candor, even by BJ’s standards.
Among the revelations:
Matt Hughes “fought like a pu**y” against Georges St. Pierre. (Ouch!)
Matt Hughes “is an a**hole.” (Like our own Lee Casebolt, BJ seems disappointed in Matt’s recent literary stylings)
The UFC All Access program featuring Sean Sherk was a joke. Penn elaborates: “(Sherk) was showing off saying ‘I eat all this good food, I work out this hard… he was walking into the bathroom and sticking a needle in his a**.” (This begs the question: do we really want all access?)
Well then…
