BJ Penn Talks New Cornermen at UFC 123 – Mandaloniz and McCully

At the 0:17 min mark:

“We’re just trying to get a different look. Just going with some different ideas. We all still train together. I’ve actually trained with both (Rudy Valentino and Jason Parrillo) while preparing for the fight. But up here, as far as the corner goes, we’ve got different ideas, we’ve got a different game plan. Our last two fights didn’t go the way we wanted and we’re all in agreement that we want to put something together and get a victory.”

And Penn’s new cornermen talk to Fighters Only:

“He looked like he didn’t have the best gas tank in the last two fights,” said Team Penn head coach Troy Mandaloniz. “We were still trying to figure out the regimen, and over-training was a problem in the past. Now we’re getting optimum performance, and we’re totally satisfied with this training camp — where the last camp I had my questions.

“He’s at the perfect weight, and he’s going to be a stronger and faster animal tomorrow,” lead strategist Justin McCully added. “B.J. was the guy to pave the road and go for it, and it’s always been his destiny to carry the torch.”
