If Hughes did it, he would be an arrogant s.o.b.

Penn can do whatever he damn well pleases and it's all good.

I personally think it's gross, but it doesn't bother me that Penn does it.

I also don't think it's meant as a sign of disrespect towards his opponent.
Penn went over and hugged Sherk after the match and looked like congratulated him on a good fight.

Every fighter has their thing. Tito has the gravedigger thing. Rampage has the howl. Chuck has that crazy skateboarder/motorcycle gang member scream/run around the ring when he wins

BJ has the licking the blood off the gloves thing.

It's all good. I'm not a particular fan of it. But it's not like BJ is there simulating urination on his opponent or something.

That would get my goat.

What if Sherk had unprotected sex with a hooker a week before the fight with BJ Penn? I know that sounds outlandish since Sherk is married with children and all that, but stranger stuff has happened. Blood licking is for those bygone eras when all the sicknesses and diseases were unknown.

I was thinking the same thing. I guess you get all caught up in the moment, but still that is dangerous.

True.

But why is that?
Just a random thing?
People in general just dislike Hughes for no apparent reason?
I don't think so.

lol no I didn't see that one. I have to say I didn't see BJ winning this one and he proved me wrong again!! haha BJ is a tough buy to beat that is for sure. I don't get the licking blood thing though. I don't even lick my own blood. Scary!

That's because he has the personailty of a tree stump.

I'm not offended by Penn at all doing this, in fact he should have wiped his on GSP's mouth when he lost.
Someone will eventually knock him out, and do the same to him.

Because some people just love to bitch about Matt Hughes no matter what he does.
