Awesome and hilarious:

EDIT:

Here is the MMA News article:

The following is an excerpt from an article in the Houston Chronicle:

[B.J.] Penn has been critical of Sherk, suggesting there should be a separate division for fighters found cheating, and intimated that he wouldn't fight Sherk if Sherk's suspension were upheld. While Penn has backed away from those comments and now says he will entertain a fight with the former champion, he continues to take his shots.

"That's what he is; he's a 'roider, huh?" said Penn, who has been outspoken in his opposition to performance-enhancing drugs in the sport.

"The guy has been cheating for how many years? At least everybody knows now what everybody had suspected the whole time.

"But honestly, I can't worry about Sean Sherk right now. I can't look past Joe Stevenson. I've got to beat him, or there won't be any fight with Sean Sherk, there won't be any fight with Matt Hughes.

"As far as Sherk goes, he's going to have to sit on the side and wait while the two people fight for the real lightweight championship, not the 'steroid championship.' "

So I guess he IS going to fight Sherk, retracting his past statement


And Matt Hughes? I guess he wants to go at Hughes one more time before Hughes retires.. interesting..

At least we know that he's not refusing to fight Sherk, at least for now. Hopefully Joe Daddy doesn't ruin his plans though.

If he want a seperate title for steroid users, will there be one for convicted criminals and substance abusers? What a hypocrite!

I think getting caught using steroids is a little different than what you do outside of the ring.

im sorry, "steroid championship"? i am a bj penn fan & from i what i've seen of him he can usually come up with better insults than that lol that one was kinda weak

anyway i am apparently one of the last of a dying breed of sherk fans & am confused as to the quickness at which some of the sherk faithful have jumped ship & turned on him. i believe sherk is telling the truth & if the fight happens i really hope sherk wins & in devestating fashion. bj has just been rubbing me the wrong way during all of this

What....

Honestly at least BJ says he isn't going to look past Joe Daddy because that would be a huge mistake. I can't blame him for ripping into Sherk every chance he gets, the guy's a user. But I think it's time to let it go and if he gets passed Stevenson to then worry about it again.

Before I even read your comment I Neg'd him. This is not Sherdog trying to start a Flame war with a stupid comment is not the smartest way to make an entrance here. He should hang out in noobjackcity till he gets our culture here.
