LOL I guess even BJ knows all about the "motivated BJ" that was started here on Sherdog, and seems to have some fun with it.
I thought BJ made an interesting comment when asked by Ariel why his fans gravitate towards his so much, he replied "my fans admire me for my success, but relate to me for my pain".

From MMAFighting:
The nickname became somewhat of a catch-all for fans to jokingly dismiss a bad performance. It didn't help that towards the end of Penn's run, there were plenty of bad performances to dismiss.

Of course, Penn never actually lacked the motivation to not get his face smashed in. The 37-year-old Hall of Famer, who is once again staring down the barrel of another comeback, is clear about that. But still, there grew to be some truth to the nickname, because in retrospect, Penn realizes that he never truly put himself in the best position to succeed -- which is exactly why Penn sought out Greg Jackson, to help squeeze the last few drops from an already legendary career before it was too late.

I've always disliked BJ Penn after his act in his losses to GSP.

But I don't understand Sherdog fans. Yeah, its late in his career but the guy is now doing what everyone has been begging him to do which is he's fully committed to the sport. He's moved to a first class trainer and this is no small commitment - the guy is in his late 30's, married with children yet he's moved across the fucking ocean and is legitmately giving his all in this.

Yet you guys criticize the dude even though he's giving the commitment you guys have asked from him. Yeah its late - but better late than never. And we've seen guys resurrect their careers - Robbie Lawler for one. Can't we just curb the hate?

And all of those aftermentioned fighters has lost too, what's the point in referencing that? He's fought nothing but the best in his entire career.

He's won 2 belts, doubt he's insecure. Trying to fill a void in his life? Maybe. But I doubt he's insecure.

When you get to his age, maybe you'll understand.

He wouldn't return if he wasn't insecure it's all about "have I still got it?"

All I want is for Penn to step inside the cage....beat Siver into a bloody gore just so I can watch him lick his bloody gloves one last time...

Lawler is not even 37 yet, not even close to be the same scenario.
