.gif | Frederick Brown Takes a Beating, Late Stoppage

BJPENN.COM News - March 21, 2014

When bad reffing strikes, the fighters always pay the price. And this time Bellator Heavyweight fighter Frederick Brown definitely paid the price when the ref stopped the fight 10-15 seconds late… debatably. He was knocked out by Daniel Gallemore in the first round, at 1 minute 32 seconds during tonight’s Bellator 113 event.

New technology allows cars to detect the emotions of their drivers. The system uses an infrared camera to determine if you’re upset and warn you about it. The people at Chevy know how to use technology like this. Instead of installing a system that senses anger, they’ve been working on a vehicle that acts on it. In this demonstration, Chuck Liddell goes nuts on a fellow driver. WOW!

Bas Rutten On The Fight That Got Away

BJPENN.COM News - March 21, 2014

“Rickson Gracie. At the time everyone was saying he was the greatest so I actually challenged him. People twisted the whole thing and tried to say it was because I didn’t like him. But I had nothing against him, I just wanted to find out who was the best. “And I would have loved another rematch against Ken [Shamrock], after improving my ground skills. It almost happened in Pride, and I would have come out of retirement, but he declined. He said we’d already done it twice and didn’t need a third.” Bas Rutten will go down as one of the pioneers on our beloved sport of Mixed Martial Arts. A true legend from the old school, who still manages to keep his name relevant through a successful career in Hollywood.

Bellator Champ Newton: 'Bellator Will Surpass The UFC'

BJPENN.COM News - March 20, 2014

“I just see Bellator definitely surpassing UFC. It’s already happening. [The UFC] is not very personable with the fighters. They don’t really have the fans understanding what the fighters went through, understanding their camps. I think Bellator does that very well. They really follow the fighters, so it makes the fans fall in love more — kinda like the WWE, the soap opera storyline, but this is not fake. Fighters aren’t coming out of the woodwork from nowhere, and all of a sudden being spectacular fighters. You watch Bellator shows and you know there’s always finishes. You watch UFC and sometimes it’s just boring. Granted, the UFC can put on a lot of good fights too, but I’d much rather watch Bellator than UFC.” Bellator’s interim light-heavyweight champion, Emanuel Newton, is doing his best at playing company man when comparing his employer to, MMA’s leading promotion, the UFC.
