Media BJ Penn losing his mind

[Xanzito]

I was thinking here, if BJ is this bad, imagine when CTE settles on Bryce Mitchell?

I am truly hoping this is just a stupid inside joke. It's not funny to us, but maybe his best friends and his family members think it's hilarious.

This shit ain't even funny anymore. Seeing a legend go down like this really sucks

And many other current MMA legend are very likely to have some massive cognitive decline due to heavy brain damage over all those years... It's showing more and more the dark side of MMA... Specially fighters who are pushed to fight more and more after a certain age...

This was pretty much all of our worst case scenario's in our minds when we were watching BJ refuse to retire, and taking painful L after painful L. And unfortunately our fears seem to be coming to fruition. I have the same Concerns with Tony Ferguson. Who much like BJ was already a bit unhinged to begin with on a good day, and also just refuses to acknowledge he needs to end his career.

That's why JJ needs to retire as well. All the more reasons not to fight anymore, he has had 30 fights, concussions, and even if he were to defeat Tom, every fight is getting more and more of him... Like, retiring now is a wise decision to make the brain damage manifest later rather than sooner. We all need to recognize it... It must not be an exception to fighters we want to lose, that we dislike,etc...

Always found the guy a little unhinged. I was never a BJ fan because I Always felt bad vibes from him. Not surprised he's a even bigger weirdo now

Sounds like Capgras syndrome. He needs serious help and is a threat to himself and others.

That's so interesting I was reading about this earlier this week, and the first person that came to my mind was BJ.

Jason Parillo is somewhere saying “you’re doing good, just keep doing what you’re doing”

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

This is honestly terrifying…

I hope everything gets straightened out without anybody getting hurt…

Let’s not jump to conclusions. What if he’s telling the truth?

 

[Jinx_AA]

Bj off his rocker - take his social media away

 

[italiamusica]

He's 1000% going to kill his family if someone doesn't help him.

 

[deadshot138]

Sounds like schizophrenia

Jones is more like Floyd Mayweather in that sense. Best defensive fighter in mma.

Been hit very little throughout his career, in terms of clean strikes, and even sparred with the intention of not being hit.

He did it smart.

Penn is known to have fought in sparring during most of his camps. He never considered the long term repercussions of all those shots, a lot of fighters from that time didn't.

By far the best part of aging so far is getting old enough for my friends to start dying and for all my old heroes to start completely losing their minds. Everyone's old and shot or dead or slowly falling apart.

10/10 would watch the world slowly turn into existential horror again.

He's also a drug addict (Penn) so that's not great.

How has nobody gotten involved yet after he’s been broadcasting this to millions on the internet? He needs to be kept away and get the help he needs if he’s being serious

 

[TinyTornado]

I love to poke fun at Penn every now and then, but this is sad and genuinely terrifying. I hope he gets the help he needs. So freakin bizarre.

 

[B0l0joe]

Sad thing is seeing other pro fighters ‘liking’ these posts.

What's wrong with humanity? This guy needs to be in a mental hospital.
