B.J. Penn is fighting Dennis Siver in the opening main card bout of UFC Fight Night: Chiesa vs. Lee in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. That’s honestly a really sad sentence to type. Penn hasn’t won a fight since 2010, and Siver hasn’t finished a fight since literally a week before Penn’s last win.
Let’s remember B.J. Penn in happier times, back when he ruled the roost at lightweight. He was The Progidy The Progigy The Prodidy The Prodigy. Penn took on Sean Sherk in the UFC 84 main event on Memorial Day Weekend in 2008, and electrified the crowd with a sensational flying knee, followed by several lightning-quick punches as round 3 drew to a close.
