"BJ Penn was a superstar in MMA and especially in the UFC. However his downfall was something for the history books. Delusion, crime, brawls, he found himself in close proximity with numerous situations involving the law after he parted ways with the UFC and as of recent he has been on record posting insane conspiracy theories involving the US and Hawaii Governments, the CIA, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Jake Paul and more. "
That was the fight where his knees were locked straight out? WTF was that all about ? I don’t remember the details of the fight but I remember that it looked ridiculous , just inviting leg kicks , offering to chance at offensive striking or wrestling, and severely limiting takedown defense.
Per one of the coaches (Jason Parillos), BJ said sitting down (flat footed) on his punches made him (BJ) too tired, so they went with the straight up style. Sounds like BJ was hard to coach and surrounded by a lot of dick riders.
IIRC: Franky said post fight he felt bad for hitting BJ so many times and had no idea about the tippy toe style.
lol you know it’s bad if your opponent says that he feels bad for hitting you!
Thanks for the article link. According to Parillo Penn claimed a normal Boxing stance was making him too tired WTF?
"I wanted him bending his knees. It’s called sitting down on your punch in boxing, and that way you can use your legs to help with your head movement, help with your footwork, help with all this stuff. He just says he doesn’t like that style anymore because it made him too tired.
