Nik Lentz Wants To Save BJ Penn’s Life
– BJ Penn hasn’t won a fight in the UFC since 2010. And now, he’s not even winning outside of the cage, having recently been knocked out in a drunken street fight. Penn is scheduled to fight at some point before he retires, taking on Nik Lentz. No date has been scheduled for the fight. And Nik Lentz is looking to finish his career for good.
“Somebody needs to talk to BJ, and that’s the whole reason I took this fight in the first place. The whole reason I took this fight in the first place, BJ, is I told you, you need to get your life together,” Lentz said in an interview with TMZ Sports (via MMAWeekly). “We can have a little peace offering here. Not only will I beat (Penn) up, but I will teach him and I will help him and I will get him out of (Hawaii), where the cameras are sucking him in, where people are taking videos of him on the street. I’m going to help him more than he’s ever been helped in his life. Now I’m still gonna kick his ass for money at the same time, but I’m still gonna help him.”
