I would say BJ eat his words...lol
*GSP STATEMENT OFFERS REMATCH;
PENN ACCEPTS (UPDATED)*
Following a storm of controversy after his win at UFC 94, welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre has released a statement regarding the recent allegations concerning his performance and the Vaseline incident involving his corners.
St. Pierre stated to MMAWeekly Radio on Wednesday that he is moving past this situation and simply looking to the future, and this will be the official statement from him to the world regarding the matter.
"George St. Pierre’s successful welterweight title defense at UFC 94 was the direct result of his disciplined preparation and skillful execution of a masterful gameplan. Any implication to the contrary would diminish the significance of what was perhaps the biggest fight in MMA history," the statement read.
St. Pierre added, “I have never cheated in my life, and as my fans know, I am deeply committed to upholding the integrity of the sport. My entire camp and I have been completely open about what happened during my fight at UFC 94 – we have nothing to hide."
He went on to address the ritual that coach Greg Jackson attributed to witch doctor Steve Friend, who has worked closely with St. Pierre with an energy inducing technique. "One of my cornermen did use an energy technique to help with my breathing that involves rubbing my back. He’s also done this in my previous fights. If there was any Vaseline left on his hand after he put it on my face, it was unintentional, and I do not believe it made the slightest difference in the outcome of the fight.
"Of course it’s up to the UFC, but I would be happy to offer B.J. a second rematch," said St. Pierre. "I am confident the outcome will be the same."
The statement concluded with the camp focusing on the future. "Team GSP is currently enjoying our victory celebration and we will soon turn our attention and focus toward Georges’ next competitor – Thiago Alves."
Penn, on his official website, BJPenn.com, accepted St. Pierre's offer of another rematch, "To the untrained eye the grease might not look like much, but every grappler knows the effect that it has. Being able to apply your submissions and sweeps or just being able to hold on to your opponent to defend yourself from being hit is absolutely critical! ... I hereby accept George St. Pierre and Greg Jackson’s challenge for a fight in the summer 2009. Lets call Dana now and set it up."
With Alves patiently awaiting his title shot against St. Pierre, and Kenny Florian anxious for his opportunity at Penn's lightweight belt, another rematch between St. Pierre and Penn isn't likely to happen this summer, but the stage is being set.
Why? So BJ can talk mad shit leading up to it and then show up out of shape again?
I don't think GSP is guilty of anything short of destroying BJ but even if he did grease were there anytimes that it would have been to his advantage? BJ stuffed shots at first but once he got tired it was over. Its not like he ever even came close to a sub that could have ended the fight. I love BJ but this is getting to be a joke. He lost to someone who is for all intents and purposes better than him who wanted it more and prepared for the fight as if it was his last.
I sure hope that you are right but something tells me BJ will be shouting from the roof tops that GSP is just like Sherk and he is a cheater. I think he is losing a lot of fans because of this.
if they stepped back into the ring tomorrow I wouldn't be surprised to see gsp finish it faster just to show he could.
^^Agreed but I am not sure that would happen. BJ is so damn talented and tough. Yes he quit but he fought an uninspired fight against maybe the best fighter of our time and didn't even take that bad of a beating. He is an absolute. An arrogant asshole as well but an unbelievable fighter
Based on this video...I really don't think it was intentional....regardless a re-match would be nice..and I think GSP doesn't care even if that fight didn't count. He still has the belt is what matters

Yeah, I would have trouble seeing Penn beat him but I think that it would be more competitive this time around

Nice photo....she is hot.
All hype? Hardly my friend. BJ is unreal. He looked like a turd against GSP but who hasn't? Florian is a dead man.
wow your gay? or did she do to much test?Originally Posted by seriousmass;441***6
Looks like something off Star Wars lol![]()
I suggest shaving her down then teaching her to walk upright bro. COuld be a keeper but hard to tell from that angle.
lol. I'll post some more candid shots once it goes to bed later on tonight.
haha, I agree. Chewbacca styles hey?

needless to say.. the side affects are killing our sex life..
hahaha.
word to da herd...no pun intended.
you know the designer t with mek or tru religion jeans and a sport coat is the lick. BUT it is the convertable caddy wit da horns that makes the sets you a part as a pimp fly mcnasty! BTW Austin texas in the most beautiful city on earth!
Texas is the land of mexicans, white trash, churchs chicken, and dollar stores on every corner
your point? ;-p
nothing really, just stating how awesome it is!
^^Serra?
i have a funny feeling that Serra is going to beat Hughes. Call it a hunch
Hughes has such a legacy though its hard to see him losing his retirment match
Either way as long as its a decent fight that ends without controversy. Both are amazingly tough but have been passed by the new generation. I have always wanted to see a Koscheck vs Hughes fight. Is that crazy?
not at all two great wrestler, I all so think it would be a great fight...
Part of me thinks that Kos could finish it on the feet but I am very curious to see if the two would try to take each other down.
Its amazing to think that three years after being on the Ultimate Fighter that Kos would be favored in a fight vs Matt Hughes
Josh Koscheck looks like a brillow pad and Hughes looks like a cock with ears
