The on going beef between Nick Diaz's coach, Cesar Gracie and B.J. Penn continues.
It all started with Penn tweeting Diaz, complaining about the way he fought and taking a shot at Jon Fitch in the process. Gracie responded, saying that Penn is surrounded by "Yes Men" and that he always has excuses for every single loss.
A furious Penn once again took to twitter, and even threatened the 46-year-old MMA and BJJ coach:
@bjpenndotcom
BJ PENN@CesarGracieBJJ Excuses?? The whole world knows I lost the fight including myself. I’m tired of you talking down to me Cesar, I hope you’re in training camp right now because the next time I see you, you better not be “scared homie!”

Won’t Penn feel stupid when he gasses out trying to fight Cesar, he’s gotta get over it. Everything Cesar said is true.

Pretty much
BJ’s first post sounded an awful lot like a bunch of excuses.
Thomas Benjamin - January 7, 2012
He always has excuses when he gets an ass whooping. Hughes – rib, GSP – grease, now this. Lame.
taptomyarmbar - January 7, 2012
BJ should stop
If he feels ill will towards Cesar he should just watch the Frank Shamrock vs Cesar Gracie fight :)
Diaz beat Penn soundly, time for Penn to retire, tired of his excuses
elmojo - January 7, 2012
This is really making Penn look bad. Its a shame, too. I thought he and Diaz were a class act in the build up to this fight, and now this? So pointless on his part. There’s no reason for it, Diaz is fighting Condit, and I reckon that’s that. Nate would slap him around at this point in their ca-reers, and frankly, Penn has looked pretty bad in his last few fights. I’ve no interest in seeing him fight anymore, unless its on a re-run on FUEL or something. B.J. Penn brought me back to the UFC, but its time for him to move on. Have A Nice Day!

Am i the only one that's just really indifferent about this?
I’m as big a Penn fan as the next guy, but all of this stuff just seems like fluffed up posturing for a fight that won’t happen.
B.J. just needs to put on his big boy hula skirt and move on.
Major B - January 7, 2012
Still waiting on BJ to announce that his twitter account has been hacked.

Bravo Penn
not much worse than a guy who can’t fight so he trains others instead, classic coach to his athletes, some are athletic’s brained with intellectual’ bodies, lol He’s prolly in such bad shape he can’t pick up a penny

It's like watchnig my faith in a 49'rs playoff bid.
CONFUSING
SanFranpsycho - January 7, 2012
Have faith, homey! The 49ers are for real, and will make a deep run, I think in a head to head versus GB that they win that game, mostly due to the lack of defense on GB’S part. Oughtta be a really fun playoffs this season!
Mr. Socko - January 7, 2012 via mobile
Don't lose the faith
9ers got this one in the bag. Willis and Bowman are going to cause some pain and suffering. Regardless where they finish at least they are going to be playing in January. Been 10 long years.

this is bj trying to line up a title shot without earning it
Sorry bj. No rematch with diaz unless you can win 3 fights at ww. And they can’t be against hughes.
goldmouth - January 7, 2012
Damn
Dont like to see this from BJ. I get that he is pissed with C.G. But threatening a coach? That’s too far. Cesar never called him out.
Well Read Idiot - January 7, 2012 via mobile
Bj has lost it.
Matter of time before he starts making anti gracie / diaz movies like some politician.
Guillermo Ponce - January 7, 2012 via Android app
That actually could be kind of hilarious. He could call Chael Sonnen for his spin doctor.
“CESAR GRACIE WANTS TO EAT YOUR BABIES!”

Are you calling Caeser Gracie a dingo?
TheFilt - January 7, 2012
If I were better at photoshop…
thirdparty - January 8, 2012
I don't buy this
This just feels like a bunch of “manufactured drama.” I don’t know who cooked it up, but it really sounds uncharacteristic of the guy that complained about the UFC forcing him to trash talk Diaz prior to their fight.
Jabroni - January 7, 2012
he has said
in a couple of interviews right after the fght that Diaz did some things in the fight that annoyed him, he just didnt get specific.
slapjaw ackrite - January 7, 2012
its not uncommon for him to go in baby mode
four20 - January 7, 2012
They call him baby j for a reason I suppose
I just didn’t know it was this reason

I love this stuff! Feuds have always been great to see in sport, but especially acombat sport. Tank Abbott vs the entire ‘Lions Den’, Tito and Shamrock, Diaz and the entire Noons family, and now BJ and the Cesar Gracie crew. Entertainment! Who wouldn’t wanna see Nate Diaz vs Penn on the back of this?
sheikybaby - January 7, 2012
After such a big deal was made about how they trained together prior and post their previous fight?
There is a line between entertaining feud and manufactured crock of shit feud.
UncleMax - January 7, 2012
MMA fans react like school girls to this stuff...
Guarantee half of this shit is just self marketing the other half is a genuine shit talk… He’s stirring the pot & MMA sheep are all waiting in line for a taste… Lead the flock of MMA sheep in any direction and they will follow.
Even if you understand what he’s doing your still giving him the attention that he needs to pull it off… Gossip goons.

i doubt it
Penn refused to play the game when White asked him to hype the fight with Diaz in the same manner. This is clearly Baby Jay, being Baby Jay.
Fatty Fish Belly - January 7, 2012
You're an idiot
Some fans are sheep but the majority of people on here can think for themselves as the bulk of the comments indicate. You just come of sounding elitist here.

I saw Gracie comments, but I did not see Penn’s initial tweet. Maybe he deleted it or is lost in between too many MMA updates. Somebody knows how this feud restarted again?
Carlos Estrada-Ibars MartÃnez - January 7, 2012
yeah a new whinge tweet from bj

Bj y u act like lil baby.
youfailme91 - January 7, 2012 via mobile
Be interesting to see
if he is still angling for a rematch with Diaz if he loses to Condit…if he suddenly clams up then its obvious what the intention was…
Chris WhiteDynamite Bielanski - January 7, 2012
I think this is
a case of BJs “yes” men not knowing when it’s over. I have followed and loved BJs entire career but this is sad. Someone close to BJ needs to turn the reality light on and let him see it. Surfer Baby J can’t win on talent alone anymore, he needs serious training at a serious camp.
BJ is likely the most talented and gifted fighter in the UFC but his training is also the worst. He needs to take Gracie up on the training offer, before you blast me think about this. When was the last time you saw Gil, Nick, Nate or Shields come into a fight and not be prepared? Give BJ the training and work ethic of Nick Diaz and he would still be undefeated at 155.
Riney - January 7, 2012

wolfman13 - January 7, 2012
GSP is hurt right now. But I think that’s the guy you’re thinking of.
But seriously, BJ with Nick’s work ethic would have probably beat Georges(twice).

If BJ would just eat his usual green salad, everything would be cool/
TheFilt - January 7, 2012
I think BJ just got angry
because in many ways Nick Diaz got famous because of this loss and there were many people who made this fight as if he had been totally humiliated by Nick Diaz when its not the truth. BJ fought well and bravely in my opinion went through all rounds with Nick and has made him also look pretty torn in the end of the fight. It’s not as if Diaz knocked him out totally. And yes I think he would like a refight now so so badly that Nick’s star has begun to rise. It’s not nice but it makes waves anyways. I also think that the bullying ways of the Diaz brothers, which initially makes them win has also made him angry.
szanpan - January 7, 2012
finally someone gets it! nick does this same shit after every wrestler he fights and no one says anything about his tdd being horrible and that he’s lazy. but whatever since i smoke weed too im suppose to support the diaz brothers anyway right? come on cesar gracie lives in a glass dome with his fighters to be talking about bj in the first place especially with nick’s dumb antics if you wanna bring up bj’s excuses. either way i just wish GSP was here to beat them both and kill what little fairy tale their fans have created for them. i ramble and i hate cesar gracie and his fighters so what dont like it? idc no f’cks are given at all im the cool black guy who must be doing well because everything i own is also white and i walk like this
Mac Marley - January 7, 2012
You smoke weed, too? Couldn’t tell.

THC reduces the size of the coherent thought gland reducing it's effectiveness. See Nick Diaz.
UncleMax - January 7, 2012
^ this!!!!
thank you sir…I still mad at Paul Daley when he dropped Diaz in that fight for not pouncing on him, the MMA world would be drastically different…I’m personally sick of the Gracie fighters getting so much butt love from fanboys because they are shit talkers…so much satisfaction was gained when Nate got tossed around in that one fight and then Shields getting ktfo…am I a hater nope just someone who doesnt like the Gracie camp
Chris WhiteDynamite Bielanski - January 7, 2012
What the hell happened to this place?
Zachary Kater - January 7, 2012
You know, I wouldn’t mind BJ Penn punching Cesar Gracie in the face. Just remember to bring a group of strong wrestlers with you when you do it, B.J. That way you won’t get jumped.

rohedron - January 7, 2012
Just go back to 155 and shutup. This is weak shit. Your biggest fans including myself aren’t even behind this BS. The only people who are can add themselves to the Yes Men column.
BJ is frighteningly irrational and delusional.

Redconsensus - January 7, 2012
If this were the early 2000s, we’d already have a promo with buttrock and fire in the background and BJ saying something angry and pointing at the camera and then Nick is like something something incoherent mumbling HOMIE and then deep announcer voice is like UFC SOMETHINGOROTHER: NOW IT’S PERSONAL.
