good Matt Serra interview at http://www.ufc.tv
UFC: BJ recently made some comments on the internet about how he only trained one week for his fight with you. What do you have to say to that?
Matt: BJ has a problem giving credit to anybody else. If something goes wrong, it’s not the real BJ Penn. It’s always some excuse. Look at his fight with Pulver, he said he over-trained. Now with me, he says he under-trained. I found his comments really disrespectful. It was a really close fight, a lot of people thought it should have gone the other way. The crowd, the online voters… I think I did the right thing after the fight. I gave him respect and I though I did the right thing by him. And then for him to go online and say ‘Oh, I only trained a week for the Serra fight,’ he sounds like a little punk. Is it just me or every time this guy has a tough fight, he whines like a little b****.
