BJ Penn fighting in UFC 197 now... who is his opponent?

[wartor]

BJ's fight was moved to UFC 197 on PPV Jones vs. DC. The interesting thing is his opponent has not been announced. No official weight has been announced. BJ is claiming 145. If that is a smokescreen could we see the trilogy fight?

No, just the rumor going around.

Let's just pray its not tippy-toes Penn, like last time.

No way Greg Jackson allows him to tippy toe.

At least I hope to hell he doesn't.

Only fight I would like to see for BJ Penn , is Vs Gomi again. Rematch from 2003. And BOTH retire after that fight

I'm good with that matchup as well.

Although BJ has his heart set on 145....not sure if Gomi can make that weight.

 

[Reach4theSky]

Most likely Siver. I'm not sure why the UFC is keeping this a secret....

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Just give him a match he can win

how about a Rematch with Sanchez

 

[JohnSAFTAHess]

Machida rematch.

 

[Nightmaree]

BJ Penn vs. Dennis Siver, BJ gets TS with win over him

 

[AronaBeatsJones]

Vs. Takanori Gomi @ 155 lbs, please.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Bj vs edgar 4

 

[GIBLERTBAPTISTA]

99% sure it will be Siver, the rumor has been floating around for about a month now from multiple sources.

 

[Based and White Pilled]

I would be stoked if BJ did a few cycles during his time off and came back jacked.

 

[rolln808]

The only cycle bj did in his retirement was the line at L & L

 

[wilKO]

Hopefully Edgar 4. If BJ wins then it's 2 each and makes a 5th fight interesting.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

I hope to Jesus (gay or straight version) that its Siver.

I see that as one of few winnable fights for BJ
