Fitch Calls BJ Penn A Coward Who Is Not Welcome At AKA

Quote :

Nov 7, Tuesday: Jon Fitch
used a conference call meant to promote AKA’s new “Fight Factory”
reality series on Nuvo TV to call former UFC 2 division Champ, BJ Penn, a
coward.

“Here at AKA, we’ve got fighters who come out to fight,
fighters who will face anyone and don’t hide from any opponents.
You’ve also got cowards out there like B.J. Penn who say they want to
fight people, but then they run and hide.”

Before Rory MacDonald got injured future UFC Hall of Famer, BJ Penn asked to train at AKA, but Fitch objected because, as Javier Mendes states:

“He still wants to fight Penn.”

The veteran welterweight was asked to clarify if he considered Penn a coward, Fitch said:

“Yes. He’s a coward. He wouldn’t be welcomed here.”

Not to be a jerk here but i do find it funny how fitch is saying aka fighters will fight any one anywhere. arent these the same guys who refused to fight other aka members even if they means winning a title? Doesnt that sound a bit hypocritical to any one else?

^^
Yes indeed. It sure does!

I've never liked Fitch as a fighter, but was simply indifferent about Fitch the person; I could take him or leave him.
But when he says garbage like this, it makes me dislike him. It just sounds so "Hey! Look at me! Please, please! Somebody pay attention to me!". And not in the over-the-top, outrageous, Chael Sonnen type of way. More so in a lame, boring-ass, desperate kind of way that just comes off as a pathetic reach.

Unfortunately this type of disrespectful way of "calling someone out" is very quickly becoming the norm. Did it start with Chael .... nope but he probably helped other fighters (like Fitch) think this is the way to do it. Now we got Overeem, Cain, JDS..... and more all sounding like petulant school boys yelling insults at each other.

i cant seem to figure this out.....help anyone?
