UFC 84 Conference Call Hightlights

Submitted by Dr J on May 16, 2008 – 8:39 am10 Comments

Jared Barnes over at Brawl Sports has some highlights from the UFC press conference call. It’s worth a listen just to hear the banter back and forth.

BJ Penn continues to berate Sean Sherk for his positive steroid test and Sherk seems uncomfortable and unwilling to engage Penn’s attacks.

UFC President Dana White also didn’t waste the opportunity to attack his personal nemesis Tito Ortiz.

    Thanks for this doc!!! i urge everyone to listen to this!!

    Prolific words from BJ in this call..

    “I consider myself a fighter, not an athlete”

    “If you use steroids, your a coward”

    Bj sounded legitimately pissed off while talking to Sherk, you can tell he has no respect for Sean, he doesnt believe hes clean, in fact he believes hes a coward. If Sherk IS guilty (which i also think he is) i think its cowardly too.

    Sherk claims hes training like he always does and he hasnt changed anything. BJ replys that he will probably test positive again if that the case lol.

    I love BJ Penn man, he going to destroy Sherk, i cant wait!

    well boys im officially hyped for this card now. BJ sounds like hes got a real problem with Sherk and im sure Sherk is pissed about BJs talk, so it should be wild. like most of you im also pumped about Silva vs. Jardine, but now im really hyped go watch Wanderlei’s little video on the UFC site hes like “my last fight i make a good, it was nice. but i lose, i needa to win. Keith Jardine, hisa style a nice, hea gooda fight for me. hea like standup, isa very gooda for fan, very emotional, ita nice i like.” now anyone who knows about Wand knows that means “we are going to stand in the middle of the octagon and throw punches and you are going to stand on your feet and cheer, when someone falls you will cheer even louder, it will be fun.” or something like that lol. oh and what a surprise Dana is trashing Tito, i wonder if Tito will have anything to say about Dana? one of these days Dana and Tito will stop lying to them selfs and realize that they were meant to be together and they will get an apartment together were they will live happily ever after lol.

      Its strange that you say that. I think they could never be together like that. Why? They both like to hype things beyond belief and act like they’re the saviors/creator deities of the sport.

      You ever hang around someone who’s exactly like you? It drives you pretty freakin’ batty.

      • R.J. St.Croix says:

        true enough, but i think at the end of the day Tito will always be Danas b*tch lol.

        • bvrasp says:

          I think Dana should be the professional one, be the one to take the high road, but ofcourse he doesnt.. If it were me, i wouldnt have much to say about Tito, basically no comment. Instead Dana calls him names when hes not around lol, childish man.. childish..

          Too bad that boxing match never happened hehe.

    bv I know how good u r at finding stuff on the web…can u look for a page that has free wallpaper for the tmobile wing???I can’t find nething???

  • MMAKansas says:

    …. very entertaining sound clips .. B.J. just stated the same things he’s been saying since day one.. and Sherk was nervously quiet about the whole deal nervously laughing and so forth… Shawn is screwed any way this goes.. if he wins he’s a roid head for it, and if he loses, well he is a loser.. lol

  • Dr J says:

    Im sitting ring side in press row at the IFL show at the moment guys. Should have some excellent pics for the site.

  • MMAKansas says:

    Good deal Doc looking forward to that..
