OMG BJ PENN DOESN'T EVEN LOOK RIPPED, SHREDDED, LEAN OR BUFF!!!!

I hate listening to these shitheads. You jerkoffs can work on your abs and biceps to try and trick some poor girl into coming home with you from the bar, but that doesn't mean BJ Penn needs to suddenly morph into a chizzled mountain of a man to be in better shape.

Is BJ in better shape? Idk, I hope so, but to the morons crying about how the fact that BJ isn't sporting a shiny new 6 pack means he must be ready to gas during his ring entrance, chill out.
 
It was proven on sports science that guys with 6 packs are 70% more likely to win

I'm actually more on the skinny side, and in terrible shape. I couldn't run a mile for anything.

Thank you for helping me further prove my point about making stupid assumptions based on how someone's body looks

Roy..that you?
 
Flab over Ab... I'll take that bet blind between two UFC fighters I'm unfamiliar with... it's my MMAntra.
 
The Pro Wrestling fans are at it again with the bodies. I just wonder how hard BJ worked his cardio, his heart.
 
I have that Italian 35 year old belly going on right now .

Win at anything. Win at life. The abs are the key. Plus beach muscles. Why do you think superheros look the way they do? Nobody would believe they could do that shit if they were all fatty arbuckles

A fighters physique tells you a little story about their fight IQ at ~185 (realistically even 205) or below. If you can afford to carry fat at a lower class you're cheating yourself by not losing it and dropping a class, or exchange it for muscle and staying in the same weight class. The only exception might be the extremely stocky guys who are a dying breed due to the physical disadvantages mostly related to reach, or even frame. GSP is the last "stocky" fighter at the top. In every other weight class it's lean, tall, strong.

BJ obviously should be 155.. If he wants to be "legit" at 170 he needs to add muscle that will likely slow him down. It's just not the right weight class for him in 2012 where guys like Rory/Story/Marquardt etc. exist. He can either be mini jeff monson or fight at 155. Honestly GSP pushes the envelope at 5'10? If not for his very long arms, and of course unparalleled MMA skills he'd be losing due to his disadvantages against the larger guys.

This is all beside the point. Yes, everyone knows BJ should probably be at 155. But BJ wants to fight at 170, so why dwell? The point I'm making is just because BJ isn't yoked doesn't automatically mean he isn't going to do OK in the cardio department tomorrow.
 
bj knows what hes doing
a couple weeks out from a fight he will invariably release a video of himself looking all lean and mean, probably filmed right after an intense workout at his most ripped...this gets the fanboys all worked up and excited

come weigh ins, he looks normal, kinda doughy since he didnt just work out and get oiled up...this dissapoints the fanboys
 
lol..as if physique doesn't mean anything. its not coincidence 90% of fighters are shredded.

BJ comes into fights chubbier than your average fighter, and he also gasses significantly worse than other fighters.

Coincidence? yea I guess so.
