I lost a lot of respect for BJ by the way he talked about his fighters after they lost. Meanwhile, Jens gave respect to guys like Wayne Weems who probably shouldn't have been on the show in the first place.
BJ had the better team: Lauzon, Maynard, Wiman, Emerson. Plus the semi-finals favored his team. The two factors that seem really important for TUF: cardio and camaraderie, were lacking in his guys.
I'm not taking anything away from Penn as a fighter, but I don't think being a coach on TUF did him any favors.
