Last month, B.J. Penn suffered the first submission loss of his legendary MMA career, tapping to a wicked heel hook from leglock specialist Ryan Hall at UFC 232. It was Penn’s sixth consecutive loss, which prompted UFC president Dana White to say he wants to see “The Prodigy” retire.
Well if you came here expecting a statement from Penn that he is retiring for good, that’s not happening. He told Chris Taylor on BJPenn.com that he’s going to wait until his ankle is healthy again before making his next decision.
“I just got back home to Hawaii,” Penn said.
