Anderson Warns: 'Don't Disrespect Me Nick Diaz'
BJPENN.COM News - October 14, 2014
“I’m very easygoing. I’m in a radical sport, for a lot of people it’s a violent sport, but I’m a very easygoing guy. I think my work has nothing to do with my personality, but I don’t like to be disrespected as a man. I think you need to have respect as an athlete and as a man. If he disrespects me, things are going to happen as they need to happen.”
Holm Not Afraid Of Rousey, Praises Champ's Striking Progression
BJPENN.COM News - October 14, 2014
“With Alexis Davis … she hit her clean with that overhand and that’s what knocked her out,” Holm said. “She was supposed to bring her down and finish her, so I was very impressed with it. She landed a very clean shot, it wasn’t lucky, I thought it was a good, clean shot she hit her with, right on the jaw. Then she also had the knee to the ribs of [Sara] McMann, so obviously, she is getting a very well-rounded game, and she has cleaned house. She has cleaned house. Anyone who gets in there with her doesn’t give her a hard time. She’s definitely great and I think she’s very good and I admire her for what she’s been able to accomplish. Hopefully I’ll be able to step in the cage with her eventually, and have that honor of fighting with her.”
Fallon Fox Blasts Cyborg For Fighting Out of Female Range With Steroids
BJPENN.COM News - October 14, 2014
“She went way out of female competitive range, and she did it on purpose. Funny thing is I actually fit within female range of competitiveness, I went to the commissions and got license because of that fact, and some give me crap about doing exactly what I shoulda done. Yet, I find it to be quite insane that some throw hate at me, and don’t say as much about her. Lemme get this correct. I go to commissions, tell them my medical history, get licensed, and compete like transgender women have since the 70’s and I catch flack. Cris goes and grabs steroids, climbs to the top of the women’s division. She takes out Carano, Finney, Coenen – heck she takes out everybody. This is all knowing full well that she’s out of athletic range of women who don’t take steroids. I mean, that was the reason why she took steroids in the first damn place.

Bellator Champ Will Brooks Ticked Off Over This Poster, And Much More!
BJPENN.COM News - October 14, 2014
Under the Bjorn Rebney regime, one would expect such treatment of Will Brooks, but I must admit, similar gameplay under Coker’s watch is a bit surprising. The promotion’s interim lightweight champ (and only champion of the division, following the departure of Eddie Alvarez), Will Brooks, pictured behind Michael Chandler above, is tired of being disrespected by his promotional home of Bellator. Can you blame him?

"Spider": 'I thought my career was over'
BJPENN.COM News - October 14, 2014
“I play around because I have to play around. But it’s something I don’t like to remember too much. I went through the worst month of my life. It was a lot of pain the moment when I broke my leg. When I realized my leg was broken, I thought my career was over. So a million things went through my mind. You might think that depression is not something serious, but I was depressed. I was very upset, and if I didn’t have the people that I have by my side, maybe I wouldn’t come back.” Former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva took to today’s UFC press conference (Replay HERE) to discuss his thoughts following his latest career defeat.
Ronda: 'I'd rather die than lose a fight'
BJPENN.COM News - October 14, 2014
“There have been times during a fight when I thought I was going to die. I thought to myself, ‘I would rather break my neck than lose this fight. I will never tap out of a fight because I know the feeling of losing. I know that I would rather die than lose a fight.” “It’s not that I’ve never lost; it’s that I’ve lost at the worst times, so I know what a loss is. That’s why I want to win so much more than these other girls. I know that I would rather physically die than die inside from losing a fight. I remember every single loss of my career, but have forgotten so many of my victories.”
