“He terrorized me for friggen a week and wouldn’t stop texting me for three days straight and talked me into it,” White said. “We have a deal now: win, lose, or draw this is BJ Penn’s last fight. I won’t give him another fight. It’s very clear between us now that there won’t be another fight no matter what.”

White also noted that Penn has agreed to the stipulation in order to get the fight, which doesn’t yet have a date announced yet. “He’s promised me that win, lose or draw, he will retire after this fight. We’ll see if he keeps his promise. He won’t fight here though, that I can guarantee you,” White declared. “We won’t be sitting here doing this again, that I promise you.”
