Why is BJ Penn the only fighter to get the benefit of the doubt when he loses?

[PrideJitZoo]

Yet when another fighter loses he or she is automatically declared the worst fighter ever, everyone jumps off the bandwagon, KO/SUB GIFs get posted for weeks, face gets shooped into oblivion etc.

There's been nothing but claims for Penn to retire for years.

 

[ortizgnp]

probably because Sherdog

 

[Chivas GDL]

He is not the only one , I believe Shogun can beat anyone on a good night and all of his loses are flukes

 

[BigMuffler]

Miesha Great can beat Cyborg and Shevchenko, she could also beat Nunes without a bad weight cut and was clearly unmotivated against Pennington.

WAR5 Rowdy Recluse Rockstar Ronda Rousey has her number though lol.

As for Blowjob Penn he gets a pass because he is an undersized Asian hero and the definition of a P4P fighter, fighting guys TREE times his size without complaint.

 

[Les Vejtibals]

Romero was the beneficiary of a very controversial stoppage against Weidman.

Rockhold too.

 

[scurdhomey]

Anderson Silva is the greatest beneficiary of this. In the history of MMA.

 

[Agent Mulder's Hair]

BJ's been getting plenty of hate around here for years.

Too much hate, imo.

LW GOAT

Sorry haters.

The young-ins around here who just started following MMA won't know what I'm talking about

 

[Iceberg Slim]

He's not. Randy would get title shots coming off a loss.

 

[MPD-Psycho]

Because he might not have been "motivated" enough?

 

[rjmbrd]

Another example of a nonsense thread where the author makes up an argument that does not widely exist.

e.g.: "I'm sick and tired of people saying Mighty Mouse can beat GSP."


... said no one ever.

Definitely dude that's why he's ranked number 4 the division... In 2017....

 

[Flokk]

He doesn't as often as he does.
