Guess what guys? BJ's an AWESOME fighter, but he has suspect cardio.
That's the definition of a fan. Defending their guy no matter what. Kinda like with me and the Detroit lions...They disapoint you but you still love em.

because you are delusional idiots who can't shut the fuck about about him being handed his ass by St Pierre, and try and act like the stand up was one sided domination which is a horseshit myth.

Here is comes...the real reason. When did Georges Hand Bj anything? He didn't secure a takedown until the second round, and when he did, didn't inflict to much damage. Georges won the fight on the grounds of Octagon control. Georges won the fight, but don't act like he came in and rolled bj like he did matt.

Cause they are Matt Hughes fans.

Just kidding.

He talks a lot of trash to be honest. I'm a fan of Bj's and hits nuts are great. But I think Matt Hughes talks as much as him.

But maybe they do not like Bj cause he talks trash. I dunno man.

I've seen a few subscribers say "He's just a rich kid, who bought his training" Do you think that could be a variable as well?

In fairness, I don't think they're delusional idiots...just extremely loyal to the point of no return.

Stating the obvious shouldn't be taken with such hostility though. Aside from cardio, there isn't much to criticize. BJ's a well-rounded fighter with excellent balance and flexibility.

The TS is asking why people hate BJ Penn FANS, which is simple to answer. It's that every time Penn loses they just can't accept it. There are hundreds of them walking around swearing on their life that Penn WON the GSP decision, which was as blatantly obvious a win for GSP as you can get.

Like most nuthuggers of popular fighters, Penn fans are irrational to the point of retardation when it comes to Penn. Witnessing such blatant stupidity from so many of them is what makes people hate them.

Because there are some BJ fans who take it a little too far. I know every fighter has the "nuthuggers," but BJ Penn's nuthuggers are the Tiger Woods of nuthugging. Anytime BJ's name comes up, some people are all "BJ would KO Fedor while having Rickson in a gogo and eating a burrito."

Possibly a reason. He does have a lot of natural talent though. As much as I like him, I don't think he sticks to the training like he should

By the way, your name is awesome.

I feel you, He's like the kid who can do no wrong, but the potential is what has people
"nuthugging". Thanks for the post.
