Morning Report: Max Holloway believes a UFC event in Hawaii would draw B.J. Penn out of retirement

Would an event in Hawaii be enough to bring former UFC champion B.J. Penn out of retirement? Max Holloway thinks so.

"I heard Dana White talking about UFC: Hawaii," Holloway told fans on Periscope (via Bloody Elbow). "I heard he said it was already on the agenda and just needed to get over some obstacles. B.J. Penn said if UFC ever came to Hawaii he would come out of retirement for a last one. You guys might just get your wish and see the legend back in action."

Penn retired last July following his featherweight debut, a third unsuccessful attempt at beating former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar.
