BJ Penn back in the gym

Guys, think about it: It’s been more than 10 years since BJ was champ. It’s amazing how fast time flies. That’s one clock that is not getting turned back.
 
Him VS Diego would be pretty epic but Diego has been an active fighter. I would favor him definitely but I would watch this fight.
 
That's great to see.

It's hard to come to terms with that your demons can swim.
 
I don’t know Penn’s specific situation but he’s been fighting for a long time & he managed to abuse alcohol, drugs & women concurrently with his fighting career

I don’t see any obvious reason why returning to training will change much
 
Rematch with the fat bar patron who gave him the 1-2 and knocked him the fuck out...does this mean Conor will seek a rematch with old man who wasn't impressed with his whiskey?

You must not know about his domestic abuse. Beating the shit out of his girlfriend and forcing her to have sex with other guys. Taking after his idol, Matt Hughes. Both absolute scumbags.

None of that is proven, even with Matt.
 
Hopefully just as an effort to keep his mind off self destructive things. If it's to try and fight again, yeaaah don't think that's very wise.
 
Good to stay in shape so he can train others. But he should never get back in the cage to fight. Ever.
 
Has he been released by the UFC? He could go to ONE and maybe win a couple over there.
 
I don't want him to do bkfc... please? If he absolutely must must must fight again, just find a jobber or 2 for him to smash in Bellator or something. Just something to keep him in shape and living healthier. Anything else is impossible, and even finding people who would lose without it looking fixed would be tough.

That said....war BJ
 
I was going to half-jokingly throw out a name for BJ to fight so he can go out on a win. And then I realized I couldn't come up with anybody I'm confident BJ could beat. He lost to Siver ffs. Just give him CM Punk so he can retire on a split decision victory, give him $10 million so he won't struggle and keep his brain at least 10% intact.
 
He clearly should not fight again. It is great if he wants to train to stay in shape.

He really needs to focus on staying sober. Whatever helps him in doing that I'm 100% for.

Addiction is a very real thing.

addiction shows that you’re committed. Rehab is for quitters.
