All those years of eating like shit and ballooning up 50lbs over his natural weight class, losing that weight in an extremely short amount of time, never training unless he had a fight, caught up to him (it actually caught up to him in like 2010)
Yet guys like Faber (who is the same age as Penn) still are in fantastic shape and always competitive against the best guys. Shit, Faber just fought for a world title last year! Urijah Faber is an example of how far you can take your career by eating cleaning, taking care of your body, and consistently training. Same with Silva and Mike Pyle who fought in the UFC into their 40's.
Once BJ's natural gifts such as speed, power, and explosion left him, he had nothing else to fall back on. All the coke, junk food, body stress, have fucked his careers longevity.
