Invicta FC 8 Main Event Loser Was 47 Years Old

BJPENN.COM News - September 10, 2014

Age isn’t always a factor in a sport like Mixed Martial Arts, but Invicta FC is finding themselves amidst a bit of controversy following Satuday night’s lopsided main event on UFC Fight Pass. Invicta champion Michelle Waterson, at 28-years old, successfully defended her strap against an obviously outmatched Yasuko Tamada. Following the bout it was confirmed that the challenger was indeed an out-of-prime 47-year old journey-woman with no real business in a championship bout.

Masked Man Says Tito Owes Him Money

BJPENN.COM News - September 10, 2014

“[Tito has] owed me and hasn’t even made an effort to make good on it, so I really have no allegiance, and Bonnar’s a real solid dude. I thought, if I’m going to help anybody out on this one, I’m going to help the guy that called me first.” “I went to his house and talked to him. (Ortiz’s former wife) Jenna (Jameson) was there a couple of different times. I talked to him in Big Bear (Calif.). It was just one of those things where you’re watching a guy blow 25 grand on the blackjack table, he owes you less than that … bro, what are you doing?

The Bachelor & Blueberriees Lead To Riggs Shooting Distraction

BJPENN.COM News - September 9, 2014

“This is what actually happened. One of my friends had cocked the gun at the gym. We had to get back to practice, so the gun’s safety was set and it was put back in my backpack. When I get home I always unload my gun and make sure there isn’t a round in the tube, but the gun was jammed and the round would not come out of the pistol. Now this is a pretty big gun, it’s a 1911 Sig Sauer .45, I’ve only run one clip through it, so it’s not beat up or anything, it’s a brand new gun.” “So, I go to taking it apart, keep in mind I’m more or less a life-long gun owner, it’s not like I’m a novice. I was sitting down and putting together my UFC contract, putting the pages in order. I was watching The Bachelor (laughs) and I was eating blueberries, so I wasn’t fully concentrating on taking the gun apart like I should’ve been. So, when I took the gun apart the hammer was back, I had it on safety but for some reason my finger must’ve touched the trigger. The pistol was stuck so I had to pull on it in both directions with my hands. My hand was over the barrel, so the parts didn’t fall all over when I removed the slide. While I was trying to get the pistol apart it fired.”

Coker Explains Beltran's Bellator Title Shot

BJPENN.COM News - September 9, 2014

Former UFC light-heavyweight Joey Beltran may be a journeyman by most accounts, but his entertaining, kill or be-killed style, grants him the credibility to sometimes be the exception, rather than the rule.
