In a recent interview with Yahoo! Sports, Light weight title holder BJ Penn accused Georges St-Pierre of using steroids.
"In my opinion he doesn’t play by the rules when it comes to steroids and growth hormones and that stuff. Look at him. He’s the worst. He looks like that every day. That’s cheating. There is a reason why there are rules against using steroids. The rest of us, we get fat, then we train and get skinny and the cycle goes over and over again. He looks the same way all the time. Come on."
Is it just me or does BJ sound like the "chubby" chick that's jealous of the model-type so she constantly talks about how ugly and bitchy she is?

It makes perfect sense... BJ is jealous. Georges has beat him-twice. Both times it wasn't really what you would call "close." BJ is a hero in his native Hawaii, Georges is like a god to the Canadians... It's like Zeus and Kronos all over again... the younger, more developed, up-and-coming generation won the battle.
It's easy to look like that all year if you train all year. Firas Zahabi recently proclaimed to FightHype.com that Georges is a "trainaholic." So, if 2/3 of the year you're training and not sipping mai tais or playing in the pool it's probably pretty easy to maintain good-if-not-great physical conditioning.
Even this guy (Poland's Mariusz Pudzianowski, 5x World's Strongest Man) has his down days... but he doesn't get that Penn-gut we all know too well.
Semi-related:According to Fighters Only Magazine, Mariusz Pudzianowski will be fighting in his native Poland on December 12, in the KSW Fight show. He is a green belt in Kyokushin Karate (GSP is a black belt in this discipline.) He normally walks at 285# so he will have to cut to make the 265# heavyweight limit.
