Media BJ Penn proclaims to be the "greatest of all ****** time"

Well GOAT when it comes to having balls of steel. Looking at the things he attempted during his career, Khabib certainly look like a scared little boy.
 
If you’re a fan from back in the day you know what Penn was about. You lived through the era where he was a killer.

I’ll say one thing, during his prime years he dusted up both prime Hughes and Gomi. Penn finished both guys. Those two are legends in their divisions.

You can't be a goat in a era where my little brother could have been a top 5 with 2 weeks of training
 
Mcgregor fought Nate at 170 which was basically a fight between two lws that didn't cut weight. BJ fought Machida at heavy weight and yet Conor did it better?

not sure why BJ constantly gets so much credit for losing a fight.
 
people are sucking his D now and were hating on him and saying he is a bum. People shit on Khabib for beating Al but disregard it was a last minute change for him,literally on a days notice,he beat a former champ and 2 interim champs. BJ beat former champ Sherk and never champ Ken Flo and Sanchez. Khabib is by far the superior LW champ and didnt lose the belt whicb Penn did.
 
Prime BJ had the biggest nuts. Khabib wouldn’t even go up to 170 but BJ did it, despite being much smaller than even Khabib. Hell, he even fought machida at heavyweight. He was a true warrior and although his peak window was short, it was arguably as high as any lightweight ever. He sadly lost it and hung around way too long, diminishing his legacy to pathetic casuals who just read Wikipedia.
 
BJ needs to go off and drink and grow his head in peace

He had a great career, this 'No, i'm the best' stuff is just sad
 
It must be very hard to move on after you retire from a more or less professional athletic career, especially if at some point you reached the highs of the sport. Your mind will probably keep wandering to those sweeter times.
 
In terms of natural talent, he'd be up there.
Not just talent but also achievements. His achievements in mma across multiple divisions is very difficult to replicate. You aren't going to see many come close to the same type of achievements. Many people hate on Conor, but his accomplishments in multiple divisions is going to be hard to replicate.
 
People can make the argument over who is the best LW of all time between him or Khabib, but BJ has achievements past LW. So he shouldn't be judged by just one weight class. He's in the overall GOAT list regardless.
 
The scrappiest little motherfucker in MMA history.
 
If you dont have BJ Penn in your Top 5 GOAT list you simply have no idea what you're talking about and didnt watch BJ in his prime

What he did will never be replicated
