BJ Penn suffers from "I'm the best guy in my gym" syndrome and "my ego gets in the way of my talent" disorder.
During the last fight with Edgar, his corner was pumping him up and telling him he was winning when he was CLEARLY being out-worked. He needs a tough camp with guys who can challenge him and people in his corner giving him EFFECTIVE advice.
