The problems with B.J. Penn outside the ring continue, as the UFC Hall of Famer got into another physical altercation at a night club in Pahoa.
Footage below documents a portion of the fight, which sees the former UFC Lightweight Champion nailing punches to a downed shirtless man on the ground as security tries to get him off:
Penn actually got into another altercation after the fight above; however, the 40-year-old wasn’t so lucky this time as Penn dared the shirtless guy to punch him and he ultimately got knocked down hard:
There’s no word on who actually started the fight first; however, this isn’t a good look for the UFC fighter, who has been on a downward spiral in 2019.
According to MMA Fighting’s sources, the Hawaii Police Department spokesperson confirmed that officers were indeed called to the night club, but no witnesses came forward with any valuable information and no arrests have been made.
Despite being on a seven-fight losing streak – and Dana White previously stating that he would stop giving B.J. Penn fights – it’s being reported that the UFC Hall of Famer is scheduled to take on Nik Lentz sometime later this year. Though White made it clear that this will be his last fight if he loses.
Lentz actually spoke about the recent situation regarding Penn.
