ya for sure, he'll easily win the lw and eventually get the ww belt for sure. he needs to not get injured and better conditioning vs. hughes or gsp though.

If his conditioning is as good as Hughes or GSP he'd definitely pwn them.

But why does he keep gassing?

He was stuffing all of Hughes takedowns until he gassed and GSP wasn't lookin too hot until BJ gassed then too. WTF does he smoke ciggs or something, come on BJ you've been in MMA a while now!

Man Penn tells it how it is. I love it when hes like "grow some balls fight Bj Penn w/o steroids that'd be cool"

BJ's the man! I hope he takes both titles and becomes a living legend (well he pretty much is that already!).

I'd love to train in Hilo with his crew sometime

Anyone can work their cardio to where it should be, but it's trickier than people think. I'm sure Bj knows what he's doing, but perhaps doesn't train as hard as he should. Running distance by itself won't do, sprints by themselves won't do, and alot of fight(sparring -grappling) time won't do by itself. (although that's what's best) You have to combine them all, plus your nutrition has to be on par. To get yourself in fighting shape is hell in reality. You have to be able to shut your mind down, otherwise logic sets in and says " what the hell am i doing this for?" So who knows what the deal is with Penn it could be a number of things, but he seems to have a new outlook, and a purpose, so it could all change. I believe he could be the best fighter in the world.

I often think about that. Like watching the Sherk All Access episode.

The mental game must be just unreal.
