But for those of you who are still here, it looks as if legendary former UFC lightweight and welterweight champion B.J. Penn intends to continue searching for his first win since 2010. MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz reported that “The Prodigy” is set to face lightweight veteran Clay Guida at UFC 237 in Brazil. ESPN’s Brett Okamoto later confirmed the matchup.
Penn (16-13-2) has lost his last six, including a heel hook loss to Ryan Hall at UFC 232, marking the first submission defeat of Penn’s MMA career.
