Has B.J. Penn Lost His Damn Mind?


Chris Insinna

Someone please explain to me what has happened to B.J. Penn. Did he suffer some sort of brain trauma in his fight with Georges St. Pierre? Is he playing an elaborate practical joke on all of us, or does he just crave attention?

First Penn came out this week claiming that Kenny Florian, the man who will likely face Penn in the Octagon next (coincidence?), sent him an email before UFC 94 to tip him off about GSP’s greasing. When Florian denied it, asking Penn to produce the email as proof, Penn changed his story completely. In a video post to BJPenn.com yesterday, he claimed it was a text, not an email, and it was sent to a member of Penn’s camp, not Penn himself, and that it included charges of steroid use.

CRAZINESS !!!

Mind games if you ask me.

Glad people are finally seeing his true colors.

Mind games if you ask me.

Mind games should come before the fight. Afterwards they are pointless.

bj penn sucks and im glad he lost

I think he's playing mind games with Florian. As for GSP, I think he got a major shock in that fight and is just very bitter about losing.

and he'll lose again, florian will take his belt. even if kenny loses, there's a new breed of talent at 155 ready to f.uck bj up

Psychosis perhaps? Happens to people who have to deal with huge amounts of stress and just snap. Happens after something dramatic happens in people's lives too.

Just throwing that out there, i have a friend who abused speed for a couple of years and went bat **** crazy. He beleived that i had slept with his girl, then he started beleive people were filming him and he was the star of a secret reality show. It started with small stuff but it quickly became obvious that he was ****ing insane.

Penn's inability to move on likely has to do with the fact that he actually seriously trained himself for this bout, and still lost in convincing, and by his standards embarrassing, fashion (stoppage, quitting on his stool).

Not likely,but I hope Florain beats the **** out of Penn.

Same here, I'm sick of BJ being the toast of the town when it's obvious that he could care less about the sport and is basically riding his talent. I'm done hearing about how he's rededicated himself to becoming the best fighter his potential will allow him to be. I've heard that, then seen him gas out way too many times.

He's been the same fighter his entire career, and the time when guys who train their asses off and make an active effort to improve pass him by is right around the corner. He's made me a non-fan over the last few years and it's strangely vindicating to see him finally getting what he deserves instead of being able to point fingers and duck out the back door. This time it actually seems like people are pointing back.

the funny part was in the UFC primetime series where BJ was talking about GSP as a quitter but in the end, he was the quitter
