I’m not a Christian myself, but doesn’t the Bible teach that Christians are to keep an image consistent with that of Christ? Would Jesus really attend the concert of someone who sings Highway to Hell and Hell’s Bell’s? Again, I’m not judging as I’m an agnostic myself, but it doesn’t do much for the Christian testimony IMHO.

hey matt looks like you had a great time at the concert! As far as the fight, I kind of figured GSP would win. He does look greasy/oily. Can something be done about that? Anyway, my son wrestles,and if you go to you tube,and type in Panther Valley vs. Black Diamonds varsity and click on Hunter(the one in the black and gold is my son) or if you go to Panther Valley vs. Pottsville varsity and click on Hunter, you will see he has alot of heart for wrestling, but his one problem I think is that he is shooting way to far out and getting caught up. It is only his second year in wrestling and he enjoys it. I am learning alot of moves from former wrestlers and trying to teach him, he said he wants to do the firemens carry, I said your not ready yet for that, next year he will be in the junior high and he already got scouted by the coach to be on the team. Wrestle on!!! From a proud wrestling mom!!!

Matt, it seems that the team of Hughes and Penn could work out an agreement to assist each other. BJ seems to be questioned about his training and cardio shape, it appears his training at his own school that he may be surrounded by yes men. Does anyone remember when Matt Hughes was not in shape for a match, with your wrestling skills and cardio / strength training and Penn’s jiu jitsu and stand up skills this could be a dream team. Think what it would do to GSP psychologically.

“but the one thing I like about the snow is it’s going to make the coyotes run and I’m going to be able to see them better”

If you ever want to swap a January Illinois coyote hunt for a south Texas hog hunt, let me know.

I heard that if you start to kill off the coyotes they will start to feel threatened and you will begin to find more of them running around your farm. I drive a truck for a living and was in Illinois and made a slight detour through your town and eat at a little cafe near the high school. Looks like a nice place to raise a family.

Sorry Matt my idiot friend got on here before I could post a real post. It is good to hear that you are training hard for serra. I hope you kick the tar out of him and shut his mouth for good. Once again sorry about the previous post. Train hard and bring the pain to Serra!!!!

I don’t really understand these die-hard Penn fans. The man doesn’t take his training seriously and it’s a whole different game form back when he was demolishing everyone.

GSP trains his tail off and has mad skills. He gets better and better every fight.

As much as I love seeing BJJ submissions and as crazy flexible as Penn is, the only way he’d catch GSP in one is if Georges makes a mistake. He’s so successful in every other area, what makes anyone think he won’t be successful in submission defense?
BJ’s best chance would be to catch GSP with a knockout on his feet. And vaseline wouldn’t prevent that.

Anyway, go Matt! I’m excited to see this long-running grudge with Serra get settled!

Here’s the thing. Matt Serra alleges that GSP was greased up in their second fight, we all saw vaseline being rubbed on his back in his fight with Penn (and yes Serra is a punk and we all know that Hughes is going to destroy him, but the allegation was still made). Tito Ortiz alleges that Rashad Evans was greased up when they fought and Rashad even admited it later. Both Rashad and GSP had Greg Jackson in their corner, and now that I think about it, I can remember Diego Sanchez being lubed up like an Indy car as well.
I am in no way saying that BJ Penn would’ve won the fight, but who knows what might have happened if he had been able to secure a triangle choke?
Cheating is cheating. If a person has confidence in their abilities why do it?
From now despite what St. Pierre does I think the “G” in his initials will be remembered for “grease” not Georges. Cheating is cheating, and yes we may all eat our words, but we’ll have to wait until the athletic commission comes out and either repremands GSP and his corner or brushes it off as incedential.
