GSP & BJ Penn UFC 94 Interview & UFC Primetime: St. Pierre vs Penn
December 1st, 2008
We mentioned awhile back that the UFC was producing a “24/7″ style show for GSP vs. Penn II. Earlier today, MMA Junkie posted the details.
To hype the upcoming mega-fight between Georges St. Pierre and B.J. Penn that takes place Jan. 31 at UFC 94, Spike TV and the UFC will roll out a three-part preview series beginning Jan. 14.
New, 30-minute episodes of “UFC Primetime: St. Pierre vs. Penn” debut each Wednesday at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT from Jan. 14-28 on Spike TV.
The three-part series is said to have better production values than the Countdown shows, which are already pretty good, so I’m looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

GSP & BJ Penn Promote UFC 94 On The Hawaiian News; Faber vs Pulver II WEC 38
November 25th, 2008
While we’re on the topic of big fights, it looks like the WEC is going to try to recreate a little bit of that ratings magic they got from Urijah Faber vs. Jens Pulver by booking them for a rematch at WEC 38.

Dana White Comments On Where The GSP-Penn Winner Will Land In The Pound-For-Pound Rankings
November 20th, 2008
MDS of MMA Fanhouse found this video of White promoting the UFC 94 main event between GSP and BJ Penn. The question of where the winner will land in the pound-for-pound rankings is asked. Here was Dana’s response for those who don’t have time to watch the whole thing.
“I don’t think they change at all. Anderson Silva is far and above the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world. The fighter who wins this fight between B.J. and St. Pierre is on their way. They’ve got to do a couple more big things in their career to challenge Anderson Silva, or something happens to Anderson. But Anderson Silva is way above pound-for-pound the best fighter.”

Never Surrender > Death Warrior
November 19th, 2008
So apparently Death Warrior isn’t the only movie (if you want to call it that) that GSP, Anderson Silva, and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson are starring in together. There’s also this little gem, Never Surrender. And this one’s better. How do I know? Because Fightlinker told me so. It has more fighters!!! Yep, big names too—BJ Penn and Heath Herring! Excited yet? Wait till you read the synopsis.
Never Surrender is an erotically charged, controversial action-thriller set in the world of underground street fighting where an MMA fighter who has been drawn into the world by an erotic and sexy promoter, quickly realizes that there is no way out, other than death.
I have a question. You can go down to your local video store and find hundreds and hundreds of these awful movies you’ve never heard of before. None of them are good, at least not in that quality sort of way. Yet, they continue to get made in droves. I have to ask, does anyone actually watch such movies? Better yet, do these actually make money??? If any of you have any sort of insider knowledge, please share. It’s one of Hollywood’s mysteries I’m dying to solve.

November 18th, 2008
The press tour for the UFC 94 GSP vs. Penn II super fight kicked off earlier today in Canada. The inevitable question of whether or not the winner will fight Anderson Silva was asked. Dana White’s answer? YES!…sort of…but only if GSP wins. Penn, on the other hand, is just going to have to be satisfied with two belts if he pulls out the victory.
Back to GSP, White didn’t specify when the fight would happen, but the general presumption is that the fight would go down sometime in 2009. Hopefully the latter half, because there happens to be a welterweight wrecking machine patiently waiting in the wings. His name’s Thiago Alves. You may have heard of him.
Quick Update: Apparently, there were three more parts to the press conference. I’ve added them in the video player above. The topic of Gina Carano came up at one point and Dana said he willing to sign Gina Carano to fight for the WEC, which would be great, but I’m not sold that it’s going to happen, at least not anytime soon. First of all, Gina still has to be freed from her ProElite contract. Second of all, Gina’s already stated that she is going to go with the highest money offer, and I find it hard to believe the WEC is going to outbid Affliction. Zuffa is not going to get in a bidding war with an organization they believe is going to fold soon, so while we may see Gina in the WEC at some point, I highly doubt it’s going to be anytime soon. Unless of course, Affliction doesn’t want her anymore.

November 16th, 2008
It was a smart move by Kenny Florian to call out BJ Penn last night. It makes him that much harder to ignore. Here’s to hoping Penn doesn’t decide a title defense against Florian isn’t big enough.
Georges St. Pierre Preparing For BJ Penn At UFC 94
November 8th, 2008
With title contenders looming in both divisions like Thiago Alves and Kenny Florian, does the fight make sense right now? GSP thinks so, and judging from the poll results thus far, it looks like you guys think so too.
