I don't really think it's the fact that he's scared though. I just think he's too foolish/stubborn to take people down. He wants to out box everyone for the full 5 rounds.
It's really a complete 180 since he hit the MMA scene. In his first few years he would shoot for the takedown seconds into the fight.
You think that BJ Penn is scared to go to the ground because GSP overpowered him?
I think that's a little silly. Penn has the best ground game in the lightweight division by far.
The ACC has put out a new (very simple) web page. If you're in the organization or if you're just interested in it, head on over and check it out!

I'm also going to open up the smack talk forum very soon!
