Memo to BJ Penn: GET OVER IT

I know I've been on a bit of a rant lately attacking various MMA figures. It's all in good fun...just getting some heat off my chest.

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.

Fedor Proved He is Vadim's Puppet

Rasputin Vadim Finkelstein, Fedor's manager, has proven once and for all he is Fedor's puppeteer. After a week of intense talks with multiple organizations-some offering more than others- the duo ultimately signed with the one offering what Vadim truly wanted...Co-Promotion.

Let's draw some comparisons...
Vadim Finkelstein is like Grigori Rasputin and Fedor Emelianenko is like Tsar Nicholas II. The comparison might be a stretch, but bare with me.



If you do a quick wikipedia.org search of Rasputin you will see from the picture that the guy was F*N crazy, but aside from that, you will read many accused him of controlling the Tsar and his Romonov family. Many in the public referred to him as "Mad Monk" for the fact that he was a holy man-a monk- but many suspected he was a mystic/sorcerer and controlled the Tsar through magic...though resent historians suggest the family simple trusted him a great deal due to the fact that he helped young hemophiliac Tsarevich (Prince) Alexei.

Alright kids, now that we've had our quick history lesson on who Rasputin is we can continue... Vadim is evil. Maybe that's a little harsh, but he is controlling Fedor's every move (well, Fedor may wipe his own bum).

Rasputin was born a peasant, Vadim was... well, there is no information about him before he began handling Fedor- but I assume like most pre-cold war Russians he wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Rasputin swooped in when the Romanovs needed him most and helped them in a way they felt forever indebted to him. Vadim swooped in when Fedor's career was picking up and he was having a "dispute" with his former club, Russian Top Team, and helped him in a way that made/makes Fedor feel indebted to Vadim.

Rasputin was a mystic and had been accused of raping a nun. The jury is still out on what powers Vadim holds and he's sure as hell raping Fedor because that boy could have gotten PAID from the UFC if Vadim didn't insist on co-promotion.

All I'm saying is, there are some similarities. Think about it. The below image was released recently. This is an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at Vadim and Fedor in a training session at Red Devil Sport Club in Russia (sources indicate the image was taken sometime late last week).
