Man I love BJ, he is the reason I sarettd watching MMA. But if he comes back, I really think he should take Cesar up on his offer. BJ needs to surround himself with world class fighters who will show him how to obtain WORLD CLASS CARDIO. That is the answer, and frankly, BJ’s last few camps have not brought him to the level he should be at. I really hope BJ comes back to make another run at LW, but he needs to switch things up. Times have changed, and all the great fighters now have amazing cardio. I’ll always be a fan, but I think BJ needs to take a hard look at where’s he at now and realize that changes need to be made. WAR BJ!!
