Dana White Wants to See BJ Penn Retire After UFC 232 Loss
Dana White spoke during last night’s UFC 232 post-event press conference about BJ Penn’s future following his loss to Ryan Hall and more. Highlights are below per MMAjunkie:
What he’d like to see from Penn: “I would love to see B.J. retire,” White said at the UFC 232 post-fight news conference. “B.J. has nothing left to prove. I always say fighting is a young man’s game. Fighting isn’t for older men. B.J. is a multiple-time world champion in multiple divisions and he’s got nothing to prove. People love him, he’s a legend and he has nothing left to prove.”
On Penn’s legacy: “B.J.’s a legend of this sport, he went down to Brazil trained hard for this thing. The camp was raving about him. He got caught in a submission tonight. B.J. Penn is one of the legends of this sport and helped build this company.”
