BJ Penn accepts GSP and Greg Jackson’s challenge
For the past several days I have been reading statements made by St. Pierre and Greg Jackson about our fight on January 31. St. Pierre claims that he is “not a cheater” and that he and Greg Jackson will have “no problem with a rematch in the summer of 2009.” 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! There is a reason why you are not allowed to put grease anywhere on your body except for the area around your eyes. Because of the grease applied to St.Pierre’s Body the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s executive director, Keith Kizer has stated that the Penn-St. Pierre fight “definitely wasn’t fair”. 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.

wtf ever happened to summer 2009? Not sure what was going on then but I know this year as of late, Grease has said BJ has to work his way up to a title shot.
Interesting.... how Grease went from talking an immediate rematch in summer of 09 to I don't want a match with BJ he has to work his way up @ WW if he wants to fight me again.

That loss should be wiped and his name should be sullied. The common public doesnt know how much it can affect bjj or anytype of grappling but the signifigance is huge. He couldnt even take you down the first round ( time to grease up).

if you look at the nervous faces/voices of GSP and his corner in between rounds 1 and 2, it's obvious that the greasing is conscious! Listen to the white guy's voice, look at their eyes and body language WHILE GSP IS BEING GREASED!
It's obvious they rehearsed. Any psychologists out there or people who get paid to read body language? I'm a survivor and part of that is being able to smell bs. They are liars and frauds, and Canada's Athlete of the Year is a cheat, a GREASER. That's not good karma to be going into the Olympics with, Canada.
Peace Honor Respect

What Benspace said made my day.
You've got thousands of people standing at your side Penn, you've got this no problem.

B.J. has the balls to fight GSP at his weight.
Gsp doesnt have the balls to fight at B.J.'s weight.
That is a fact!
