Remember when BJ was calling GSP a quitter, and how he was coming to kill him etc... BJ Penn quote before his rematch with GSP.
"Georges, I'm going to go to the death,"
Then he proceeds to quit on the stool in between rounds. I mean it’s one thing to lose to a better fighter, and I don’t even have a problem with a fighter throwing in the towel when he sees he’s beat... but when you talk that kinda shit, then quit with 5 minutes to go, it’s gotta be the most classic example of embarrassing yourself and putting your foot in your mouth. I can’t think of a better example, that has to be #1.
Some honorable mentions:
-Connor talking about turning guys into panic wrestlers, then shooting in on pillow fist Nate when the going got tough.
-Also that French dude on one of the first ultimate fighter seasons when he said he came to prove the stereotype that the French are a bunch of pussies wrong, then quit after round one with no apparent injury, fear in his eyes and all.
Any other good examples of pre fight trash talk gone wrong?
