In just a few hours, the return of one of the most popular fighters ever to put on a pair of 4oz gloves makes his return tonight after a two-and-a-half-year retirement from MMA. B.J. Penn is looking to make one more title run, this time at 145lbs, and it all starts with the young lion in front of him, Yair Rodriguez.
It’s hard not to be a fan of Penn, and thousands upon thousands of devoted fans share that sentiment. He’s competed at lightweight all the way up to heavyweight, has never been submitted and can jump out of a pool with a single, vertical leap.
