Who do you like?
I think it will be a great fight.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
GSP v BJ Penn, UFC 94

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

funny how in the pre fight shows penn was calling GSP a "b!tch" and a quitter and said that he'll "fight till the death"...
Looks like the rich spoiled Hawaiian's mouth wrote a check his as$ couldn't cash because he got smashed for 4 rounds and QUIT.

BJ's bjj coach is my instructor's instructor, he may have been one of the ones who threw in the towel tonight. I will ask him next weekend when he is at my own first mma fight.
GSP v Anderson Silva is the next big matchup I want to see. Right now it is between them and Fedor for best pound-for pound fighter in the world.

I never liked Penn, he seems to think he's a lot better than he really is. GSP is a beast though, i want to see him fight Silva.
Watch out for Jon Jones in the future, that kid is only 21 and i think will be holding the belt one day.

The match was really good I thought and even though I was going for GSP because Penn was talking mad sh1t you gotta give him props he still has a belt so he' still a good fighter.
I thought his brother threw the towel, I think penn wanted to keep going but his brother ended it because he wasnt doing anything.
Jon Jones ..I dont know it shows that he is still a new guy in the sport since he was out of gas at the end of the 2nd and all of the 3rd round, he did have some nice moves(the back elbow) but he has to get more conditioned before he can go after anyone plus the fact that he had a massive reach on the other guy.
Clay always fun to watch...lots of holding though kinda boring.
The good one to watch was ....the fight before gsp's forgot the name of the winner, he was pretty good 14-0.

Jon Jones has some crazy suplexes but he lacks any type of submission skills. He needs to work on that..then he'll be a good fighter.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Just starting to get into this myself, but IMO, Penn needs to lose about 5-10 lbs of fat and replace it with muscle. you can be a good fighter but pound for pound muscle is going to help you a lot more than fat will.
Oh yea, and that Jon Jones is a bad ass sum*****. That spinning elbow was AWESOME. He just made the mistake of thinking it was a KO and he lost his window to finish it off right there

Penn was a lightweight champion to begin with who thought he can dominate the best of the welterweight (GSP) by adding 15 lbs to his frame.STR8UP said:
Penn should stick to the lightweight division because adding all that extra weight seriously eroded his skills.
I don't know, Fedor looks pretty chunky at times yet he is pound for pound the best fighter in the world.STR8UP said:
As for other matches in UFC 94, Machida really impressed me, very smart fighter.

Master Don Juan
That guy is going to seriously make some noise. I don't want to go too far out there on a limb, but if I was anybody at the top level of UFC, Machida is not a guy I want to get talked into fighting. He's good. Scratch that, he will be great.DJDamage said:

I agree. I think Machida deserves a mention in the nominees for best pound-for-pound mma fighter in the world. Right now that list reads: Fedor, Anderson Silva, GSP and I'd say Machda as well. Despite this beatdown, BJ Penn is still dominant in the lightweight division.
edit: Rashad Evans deserves a mention as well.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

BJ wanted the 5th round. His corner cut it off. You can see one of his coaches call the doc over and make a throat-slashing motion, after which the doc and the ref call the fight.Ken785 said:
GSP is probably my new favorite fighter. Since his loss to Matt Hughes, it is amazing how much GSP has evolved.
I don't know about Machida being best #4# quite yet. I haven't seen enough of him.

Here is the list of UFC fighters. You could look and see.

From what I am hearing, BJ is about to retire in the next 12-18 months.

I disagree on Rashad and Machida. They've not gone through and shown the dominance that Fedor, GSP, A. Silva, and Penn have in their respective weight divisions. The latter have effectively cleaned out their divisions.Bible_Belt said:
Rashad would have to beat a couple more fighters while Machida would have to beat several more.
Not to say they couldn't be, just that they've not had the run the others have had.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
