Penn was one of the most skilled fighter ever just a lazy mofo or would be goat. Conor has like 1 skill he excels at.
Penn actually proved himself before jumping around.
Naw man very different situation.
Penn was a great fighter and in no way shape or form as a fighter should be compared to Conor, who is a one dimensional KO artist.
However their careers have a lot in common. BJ surrounded himself with yes men who never gave him the advice he needed. He jumped around weight classes looking for a challenge, which shortened his career and hurt his record. When he beat Hughes the first time he basically lost his mind; he thought he could beat and do anything. At that point in MMA (and really even now) the people that exist to tell you not to do this kind of stuff were not there like they are in boxing. If he would have just stayed in his lane his career could have been much different.
