Fighters Call For BJ Penn to Retire After UFC Fight Night 103
It appears that almost no one wants BJ Penn to continue fighting following his loss to Yair Rodriguez at UFC Fight Night 103. Penn came out of a two-year retirement at the show and suffered a one-sided second-round TKO loss, which has prompted those within and without the industry to call for his return to retired status.

You can call it talking shit I call it stating facts. A legend is a legend no doubt but no need for a HOFer to keep coming back. #ufcphoenix

For the love of our MMA pioneers, Penn shouldn't fight another young cat again. Or give him someone his age or at the end of their career ?

Why would you put BJ against a young top ten ranked guy? I wouldn't even celebrate that win.

Nothing but respect to BJ. He's a legend and has accomplished amazing things.
Fighters don't age gracefully.
