Former UFC lightweight and welterweight champion B.J. Penn is looking to capture gold in the featherweight division, and he's put an end to his retirement to do so. "The Prodigy" says he's going to fight on March 5th at UFC 196, although no opponent has been named yet. According to UFC Tonight's Ariel Helwani, Dennis Siver is one of the options on the table, although details beyond that are unknown.
The 37-year-old Penn (16-10-2) hasn't won a fight since November 2010 against Matt Hughes. He announced his retirement after three straight losses, including a lopsided 3rd round TKO to rival Frankie Edgar in Penn's featherweight debut back in July 2014.
