While BJ Penn is facing off against Kenny Florian this weekend at UFC 101, he still seems pretty hung up over his brutal loss to Georges St Pierre back in January. He spent the first half of the year accusing St Pierre’s corner of greasing him up between rounds (a huge fiasco that most determined was much ado about nothing), and now he’s making headlines again by accusing Georges of using steroids.
During an interview with Yahoo’s Kevin Iole, BJ said “It’s just my opinion that he uses steroids. That’s it. My opinion. I do believe it. I can’t hand you …read more

I think GSP was in better condition and fought much better.
Georges St. Pierre’s side already said he would fight Penn again and Penn …read more
