UFC Primetime BJ Penn vs George St. Pierre
I don’t know if any of you caught the UFC Primetime last night on Spike TV, but I am actually really enjoying these background looks into the top fighter’s training camps. First, I am really impressed with George St Pierre’s training camp and facility. They seem to be taking this to the extreme of serious and watching GSP train (even if it’s just a glimpse) is incredible. I was actually really impressed with some of the athleticism show by George St. Pierre.
BJ Penn’s camp and training on the other hand looked more relaxed. Maybe because of the way they presented it with BJ Penn training in Hawaii while GSP trains in the harsh cold of Canada. But BJ said something last night that caught my attention. He said “I’ve been training this way for 10 years and it works for me”. Obviously the man knows what he’s doing and how to be successful. Another quote I liked I think came from his brother saying that BJ was a fighter and GSP is just an athlete. That’s a pretty powerful statement.
I’m really, really looking forward to this UFC fight. I think the UFC Primetime episodes definitely helped peak my interest too.
