    As much as I love watching BJ fight, it can be very painful watching him outside the octagon.

    That being siad, he took one hell of a beating off a guy that had an illegal advantage. The Athlethic commisiion are unlikely to do anything about it. Whether or not the greasing made a difference to the outcome of the fight isnt the point.

    If he is offered the right fight he will. And he knows it.

    Who does he think he's hurting with that decision considering how many UFC events take place in Vegas?

    Since hes not that interested in fighting anymore, its not exactly causing him major pain either

    Organising a Penn vs Sherk rematch could be tough, Sherk refuses to fight in California :pac:

    There is not a whole he can do and he has decided to show his opposition to the state commision by not fighting there any more. He is 1 of MMA'S biggest stars and he has every right to take a stand.

    Agreed. Dana has given him alot of leeway in this and in other moments BJ has been an unreliable flake.

    BJ will continue to get his way due to him being a huge pull and the fact he is Champ and I cant see anyone taking it off him. So until he decides to hang up the gloves he'll get his way. Fair play to him all the same, sticking to his guns.
