08:41 AM ET 05.20 | While UFC lightweight champion B.J. Penn wasn't able to attend this past Wednesday's Nevada State Athletic Commission hearing on "Greasegate," that certainly hasn't stopped the Hawaiian from developing a firm opinion. In a recently released video blog on his official website, Penn blasted NSAC executive director Keith Kizer, and the champ also said he had no desire to ever fight in Nevada again. "I will say that, for me personally, Keith Kizer can't be trusted," Penn said. "I don't trust him in any way. -- Honestly I have no interest in ever fighting in Nevada or Las Vegas again, and that's all I have to say about that whole situation." Penn's latest statement was a reaction to the NSAC's recent hearing regarding the lightweight champ's complaint that UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre was guilty of improperly using Vaseline to gain an unfair advantage in their Jan. 31 fight.

Really though, quite the crying....move on BJ, everyone else has. GSP is the far superior fighter, not even close anymore.

Apparently BJ Penn has no interest in ever defending the Lightweight Title again either.

He won't fight in LV? Riiiiight...says the bigger paycheck he'll receive when the UFC holds PPVs there. Come on BJ, I know you are pouting and throwing a 5 year old type temper tantrum, but get over it already. You'll fight in LV.

"I will say that, for me personally, Keith Kizer can't be trusted," Penn said.
And BJ Penn can't be trusted to come to the fight in shape.

Also one that will put him in the poor house considering UFC is based in Nevada.

I'm pretty sure GreaSyP can get lathered up in any state BJ.

"...and that's all I have to say about that whole situation."
God, if only that were true! Like any employee in any other organization, you will do what you are told or you will find other employment. I hear Elite XC might have a few openings...and you'll get to fight about as much as you do now!

Even tho I hate GSP, i truly dont think that anyone at 155 could contest him. Hes too physically gifted and he is currently in his prime. BJ is a phenom at 155 but 170 is a dream as long as GSP stays in the division. Even tho he took a beatin, its impressive that he was able to hang on as long as he did. I dont think anyone else at 155 could do that against George... BJ is past his prime and needs to focus on a very hungry and eager Florian bc he is going to get thumped if this circus continues.
You lost dude. It eventually happens to every good fighter when always taking the challenging fights. No shame in losing to GSP. Just move on and focus on your next fight.

Man, you guys need to lay off BJ. He was asked a question and answered it. Watch the video. Also he said he wouldnt fight in Las Vegas Or Nevada. Hopefully he takes out Florian and VSP, so i dont have to hear you boneheads repeat the same crap over and over again.

So let me get this straight real quick...you are tired of US repeating "the same crap over and over" and yet listening to Penn rehash a 3 1/2 month old issue (which has already been decided on, by the way) doesn't bother you?
That's some impressive BJ Penn nuthugging you've got going on there, my friend. Might want to dial it down a couple of notches.

Won't fight in Nevada again? Why don't you do us all a favor and never fight again. I am sick of listening to you.

penn got a pretty thorough and methodical beating. I know that it sucks, but it`s time for the guy to admit to himself how bad he got beaten. Maybe he should watch the video of every time gsp put his fist to his face while standing to realize that grease or no grease, he was outmatched not only in size, but in talent and will power.
