BJ Penn- "I'm not on P4P list anymore, that has to be Fedor"

"I’m not happy about losing the title. I don’t want to take anything away from Frankie. He did a good job. As a fighter, you’re always thinking you’re winning the fight and you never think you’re losing. You just have that mental mindset. Looking back at it, I just want to congratulate Frankie. My first thought was I gotta get back in the ring immediately and I want to get back on track. The UFC actually called us yesterday and they want to put a rematch in the works and we’ll see what goes from here. I think I got a good idea at what he’s gonna try and do. I know his power, I know how hard he punches, and I know the way he moves. I got that pictured in my mind. The rematch is going to be more technical. After my defeat decision the past couple of days ago, I’m not on [the pound-for-pound] list anymore. It’s gotta be Fedor. He finishes his guys and how can I argue against him?"

BJ is the shit he's gonna punish Frankie in the re-match.

Well he's right on Fedro

Lovin a immediate rematch

Think BJ will come on and try to prove something, I got BJ subbin Frankie

I think you are right, but I think Frankie still makes him work his ass off for it.

BJ for once in his career is being a class act and not making excuses. He is truly a changed man. I wish him the best.

I kind of don't want the rematch right away. The LW division would be more the if he waits.

Because then we could get
Edgar vs Maynard II for the belt (5 rounds!)
BJ vs another contender that he might not face as champ (Griffin, Diaz, Miller, Gracie, Guida, etc)
Then BJ vs Maynard (if Maynard beats Edgar)
Then BJ vs Edgar II

completly agree, BJ has changed my image of him big time over the last year or two. From his work ethic to his show of class. Really changing what I think about him. He has really said all the right things after this fight.

I agree with this. I'm even starting to come around. I was once a huge BJ hater.

I'm glad he's seeing clearly... But did he think he was really ahead of Fedor before? I mean hell, I don't know anyone that was putting him in the top-3 with a clear conscience even before the fight...

Same here, I was a semi-BJ hater a few years ago. He wore me down to were I wasn't bothered by him. But now I am even starting to develope some good feelings toward BJ.

I don't think he thought he was above Fedor. He has said many times that Anderson or Fedor was the best on his blogs.

Really ? I think BJ will win decisively in the rematch.

not me, BJ said expect an even more technical rematch

I think everyone is expecting BJ to come out and Blitzkrieg Frankie

I dont see it happening

Wanna av bet on that one bird?

I agree with you bird. I think that BJ's response that it would be a more technical fight was admitting that Frankie presents him with problems. Mainly, Frankie is fast as shit. I think that BJ realizes that although he felt he won the fight, that a second fight with Frankie isn't going to be any easier.
