Former lightweight and welterweight UFC champion BJ Penn has comeback firing on all cylinders, after Cesar Gracie threw a volley of insults his way. Gracie, in turn had been responding to Penn’s earlier tweet regarding his charge of Nick Diaz.
@CesarGracieBJJ Excuses?? The whole world knows I lost the fight including myself. I’m tired of you talking down to me Cesar, I hope you’re in training camp right now because the next time I see you, you better not be “scared homie!” BJ Penn.Com
For those of you who don't know the beginning of the beef.
The war of words commenced when “The Prodigy”—who subsequently retired following his unanimous decision loss to Diaz at UFC 137—took to his Twitter account and berated the Diaz about the fight.
He also made reference to Jon Fitch’s chin, apropos his 12 second knockout loss to Johny Hendricks at UFC 141.
@nickdiaz209 Look how much bigger you are in this pic..I thought you were gonna scrap from the beginning homie? What was that coward fence holding strategy to tire out the smaller man? Street fighter my ass! I made you fight like glass jaw @jonfitchdotnet poser! I'll be ready for that weak bs next time we fight!
The above tweet prompted Gracie to respond in kind.
BJ Penn has apparently not come to terms with the beating he received at the hands of Nick Diaz....
At some point it is up to those around you to protect you from yourself. To take you aside and let you know you are wrong and help save you from your folly. Unfortunately for Penn he is surrounded by "Yes Men" that are unwilling to do that. The outcome will be predictable, resulting in a fighter that will never push himself to the fullest and will always have excuses for his losses.
At present, Diaz—who has been the unwitting catalyst in all of this—has stayed silent. Still, it remains to be seen whether he’ll keep mute or join in the slanging match.
