Penn Coach Denounces New Fighting Style: "Never in a million years would I develop that," Says Parillo
BJPENN.COM News - July 9, 2014
“I would never in a million years develop that new style. Never in a million years.I got called a week before the fight to work his corner for the fight, so I, myself, hadn’t spent time in camp at all with B.J. … I answered yes [to cornering him] automatically because he’s my friend. So I didn’t know. They explained to me kind of the gameplan the week of the fight, and I was actually rooming with his boxing coach the whole week, so I was listening to him, talking to him about what they were doing. At that point, it’s not my position to make any adjustments, like, ‘no, no, no, let’s do this, let’s do that,’ because it’s too late for that. It’s too late. He’s been doing this shit for two years. What, am I going to come in the week of the fight and change a whole gameplan? Change a whole style around? That’s not going to happen, nor does B.J. want me to make that happen. He doesn’t want that to happen, he wants to go in there with what they have planned.”
Dana White: 'Bellator isn't competition for the UFC, even with Coker at the helm'
BJPENN.COM News - July 9, 2014
“I don’t think he’s going into business against us. I don’t think [Bellator’s] business is at the level that we’re at. I think he’s going in there to try to do whatever he can to keep that thing alive… (Former Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney) made this thing confrontational, and you know me, if you want to poke me, I’ll poke you back. And he’s gone, and there’s guys over at Spike that I like and respect. I did business with those guys, and I think if you asked them, they’d tell you I’m probably the best guy they’ve ever been in business with. I ate, slept and breathed Spike TV. I did everything I could to make it as successful as I could, and they’re not bad guys. They’re good guys. And Scott Coker’s not a bad guy, so I literally have nothing negative to say about him, and I don’t look at them as competing.”

"The Sky's the limit for Weidman," says UFC Boss
BJPENN.COM News - July 9, 2014
“The sky’s the limit for him. He’s the first guy I’ve ever seen so proud to be American… He comes off really well in every way, shape and form. The respect he showed Anderson (Silva), he’s like, ‘I love being aligned with Anderson Silva. He’s the greatest ever and he deserves that respect.’ It’s good stuff. This was an important one – this was big for him. Everybody had to be thinking the same thing I was thinking. ‘How is he going to get to Machida? How is he going to cut off the ring? How is he going to do this? He has a very deceptive style and everybody knows now Weidman’s the man. He looked good tonight, and that was his first five-round fight. He’s only getting better, just like Ronda (Rousey). Scary… He’s undefeated, he’s beat Anderson Silva twice, and Machida, and this is the first time he’s ever gone five rounds. [It’s] his second title defense and he’s 12-0. Wow, that is impressive.”
