We’ve learned that playing video games excessively during fight training is counterproductive to having your fight last longer than 60 seconds.  For Jens Pulver it was World of Warcraft, while for Jon Fitch it was Skyrim.  The fact of the matter remains that BJ Penn was not a playable character in either game, and that’s why those games are a poor choice.  Any modern UFC game would have been alright.  Assassin’s Creed featured BJ Penn in their commercial, so that would also have been acceptable.  Jason Nawara would disagree with me on this, but it’s my article, so his opinion doesn’t matter here.  All that matters is what Jon Fitch has to say about BJ Penn after ‘The Prodigy’ said he was coming to AKA last week.

"Here at AKA, we've got fighters who come out to fight, fighters who will face anyone and don't hide from any opponents. You've also got cowards out there like B.J. Penn who say they want to fight people, but then they run and hide.""Yes. He's a coward. He wouldn't be welcomed here."

In the interest of being fair and balanced, BJ Penn recently turned down a fight with Siyar Bahadurzada, despite the Afghani fighter vowing to donate his entire purse to charity just for the opportunity to fight the Hawaiian while still suffering from a broken hand.

"BJ said no. I'm disappointed. I wanted to fight him with an injury. My right hand is not healed till his fight. I can't punch, but still he doesn't wanna fight, haha."

Yes, Siyar’s hand is still broken, but he’s willing to fight anyway.  That’s so baller that it makes ballers look buster.  But yeah… Fitch thinks Penn’s dodging fighters, and we’re nobody to argue with Jon Fitch, or Siyar Bahadurzada, or the fact that Assassin’s Creed is a better game than Skyrim.  Facts are facts.

What a jilted bitch. Fitch's idea of "finishing" is landing a unanimous D over a split D.

BJ probably wants to fight someone who wasnt just knocked the fuck out is 10 seconds in his last fight.

Lmao!!!! /end thread

I try to respect all the MMA, but Fitch is one of my least favorite fighters. The most exciting fight he's ever had was getting his ass beat by GSP back when GSP was exciting. His most spectacular highlight is when Hendrix KO'd him. BJ who's fought at almost every weight in MMA ducks people? FUCK YOU FITCH

I like Fitch. He seems like a pretty cool guy from whatever interviews I've seen of him. I think he's just trying to add interest in a rematch, hoping that the grudge will lead the UFC setting it up.

I liked Sihar, but seriously? you want to fight BJ Penn with a broken hand. I'm guessing DW is all about that idiot.

As for Fitch, it's already been mentioned he wouldn't fight Kos, and now he wants a big name fight with BJ when he already has a fight scheduled where he is going to get destroyed, but he wants BJ? So he wants to duck Silva? Roger pot...this is the kettle...over.

All due respect to Sihar, but BJ fighting him while he has a broken hand wouldn't prove anything, thus making it without value to BJ

Looks like all these fighters wanna fight a coward in BJ Penn. If he is truly a coward then what does that make them? Fitch is butt hurt because his game hasn't & will never evolve. BJ Penn can pick & choose if & who he wants to scrap with. It's called being the former lightweight & welterweight UFC champion. A fighter who was & could possibly still be Top 10 in either weight class while he was still officially active.

Siyar is a Afghan fighter, not an afghani fighter, as afghani is a currency.

Fitch is a bitch he's just bitter cuz he got KO'd in 60 seconds in his last fight. And Fitch doesnt fight, he holds guys up against the cage and runs the clock out. The last time fitch ko'd someone was in 2006. the last time he even finished someone was in 2007. Fitch is a boring fighter. I think its time for him to call it quits and stop calling a legit fighter a coward when fitch is the real coward

The Jon Fitch highlight reel starts and stops with his entrance music. The best part of a Fitch fight is when I get up and take a shit , come back out and another fight is starting.

I always liked Jon Fitch, he showed incredible heart in the fight with GSP, he got his ass kicked pretty good and still kept going.

True he is a bit of a boring fighter, but this is MMA, your skills vs your opponents, if you hold a guy down round after round and he can't do anything in return then you're the winner.

BJ Penn won the fight against Fitch with ease...at least thats what Cecil Peoples said...

1) Afghani = Afghan currency
you mean he is of Afghan decent

2) Jon Fitch needs to shut his spineless ass up. nobody is gonna take his lay n pray ass seriously when he calls a man who's fought men who compete in LW,WW,MW,LHW, and HW, and held belts in all 2 weight classes. BJ has the potential to be the king of the LW division yet he doesnt give a fuck about weight, only about fighting the best fighters he can fight. why the fuck should he fight that afghan dude with a broken freakin hand? thats not his forte as a fighter. and yes BJ is a FIGHTER, something Jon Fitch can never say he is. maybe he was at one point, but he damn sure isnt now. he's just a professional Mixed Martial Artist, and to be frank, he ain't actin' too professional with his antics. Jon Fitch is spineless

BJ responded to a call out, and now that the fighter who called him out is injured, why should Baby J fight anyone else?

Quit crying, Fitch. It's not like he's making a run at the title. He was responding to Rory, who's injured now. So there is no fight... I'm repeating myself. I'm done. Fitch is a bitch.

Siyar doesn't have a big enough name for it to make sense. If he loses, Siyar says his hand is broken. If he wins, Siyar beat you with a broken hand. Lose lose.
And backing out of the Siyar fight to face Rory McDonald... that's not exactly what i call backing out because you're a coward.
BJ has gone up to face GSP at 170 and even up to 205 for Lyoto. BJ does not back down.
