Dana White bringing UFC to Hawaii, wants BJ Penn to headline

Back in Dec. 2009, former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight and welterweight champion B.J. Penn, who was fresh of his UFC 107 drubbing over Diego Sanchez, told UFC President Dana White that completing his trilogy against Georges St. Pierre in Hawaii would sell 40,000 tickets at Aloha Stadium.
While the window for a third dance between the 170-pound rivals is now closed, White may still take him up on that offer and bring the world's largest fight promotion to Hawaii for a future event.
Just one problem: Penn is supposedly retired.
That hasn't stopped White from moving forward with his plans, telling MMA Weekly that he's going with or wihtout "The Prodigy," but still hopes to get Penn in as eventual headliner.
Check it out.
"We're still working on that, but we want to do it. I was kind of hoping to go to Hawaii again and do a B.J. (Penn) fight at the Aloha Bowl, but B.J. wants to take some time off. He's going to relax for a while. We're coming regardless, but that was the fight I really wanted to do there."
"Penn vs. Diaz" was the main event headliner for UFC 137 back on Oct. 29, 2011, at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The unanimous decision win for Diaz, which left Penn battered and bruised, sent him straight into an Interim title bout against Carlos Condit at UFC 143.
And sent "The Prodigy" straight into retirement.
Penn said he'll be back "if he ever feels it again," which could weigh in White's favor if he needs the longtime veteran to headline a show in his native Hawaii.
If he ever comes back, who would you like to see him fight?

BJ needs to go back to LW, he's a beast there
I live in America! Land of the coward, home of the slave. Watch that TV, go to that football game, that circus, CNN, MSNBC, FOX and other mainstream media are not owned by large corporations, they are always honest and fair and they never lie to you. Whatever you do don't read history books, don't study the constitution, do everything you can possibly do to be happy in life. Just don't ever get involved in your government, big brother will take care of you. Your elected officials always do what's in your best interest, there is no corruption in our government, good little sheep, just make yourself happy, just entertain yourself, the government is only here to entertain you and take care of you and feed you and make you happy, don't you worry your little head over world affairs.

It's also just a better fit for him.
BJ is such a head case and many times his own worst enemy. I think it is more about his abilities being at their best at LW than it is about the level of competition because they are both stacked divisions.

ah........the exuses for BJ
keep ‘em comin’!
Tito Ortiz = BJ Penn = Overrated, excuse-making frontrunner
Fitch clearly won round 2 and the fight against Penn
Sonnen clearly won round 1 and the fight against Bisping
exactly..
I’ve been a fan of the guy for years & the quality of fighters at LW or WW is inversely proportionate to Penn’s discipline & desire to train. He’s a journeyman at this point in his career. He will provide stiff tests for contenders, but I don’t see him getting to either champ.

He doesn't need to evolve
His skill is above and beyond 99% of the fighters in this sport. The problem is his dedication. Even with his lack of discipline, he beats every lightweight not named Frankie Edgar. He beats every one of them convincingly.

I see grappling and wrestling as different aspects of the sport
His TDD is top notch, but he gets that mostly from his stellar balance. He looked good against Fitch with wrestling, but I think that was more of Fitch being surprised that BJ was actually going for the TD.
Also, I shouldnt have said
He has no wrestling skills whatsoever.. I stand corrected on that.
But his wrestling is low tier for sure

his offensive wrestling I should say
is very good, it’s excellent, and you can’t have good TDD without very good wrestling.

the problem with penn.
is he’s an extremely overrated striker. put him in with pettis, barboza and guys like that, they’ll light him up guaranteed! he’s got a solid jab and that’s about it.
Maybe in a kickboxing match, maybe.
But Penn would school both of them in fight.

Frankie was able to set up his takedowns with footwork. Nobody else at 155 has the footwork to keep BJ off balance like that. And even though he was able to score takedowns, he wasn’t able to do anything with them.

I don't agree. Penn can wrestle. Also, his TDD is very good. Only a much larger, prime GSP was able to keep Penn on his back.

If he does not switch camps or work on his cardio then watching Penn will just be an exercise in nostalgia as there are now a lot of hungry fighters who would like his scalp on their resume.

but he’s probably too lazy to go back down to LW and try to earn a 3rd loss to Edgar. So how about Fitch-Penn 2?
Tito Ortiz = BJ Penn = Overrated, excuse-making frontrunner
Fitch clearly won round 2 and the fight against Penn
Sonnen clearly won round 1 and the fight against Bisping
Hopefully its a LW
Maybe against someone like maynard..

He easily went through the guys the UFC put up against him and believed Frankie to be in their mold so he didn’t train hard for that fight. I don’t know if he chose to believe the first fight was a fluke, or what, but BJ has not been close to the same fighter since the first Edgar loss.

The first loss to edgar
looked like a win to me. I’ve watched that fight at least 5 times and have watched in slow mo their exchanges. In the first 3 rounds he consistently landed the cleaner punches. I have no idea what happened the 2nd fight, but he looked like shit from the 1st round to the 5th. He should’ve went for td’s from the beginning.
Im not delusional, BJ is clearly near the end of his career and doesn’t have the work ethic/motivation to beat Edgar or fight the top ww. As far as sticking with the Marinovich’s my instinct is to agree with you but I’d like to know the details of them splitting up.
You go out there and start acting like a terrorist, you're gonna get Osama Bin Laden'd
BJ is 33
I don’t see a miraculous change of training/work ethic
But fans can only hope.
I remember watch that fight and being confused as well, I thought Penn had won the first fight. But whatever.

2 week sig beat goldmouth/evans nightmare/davis
Get over it Dana
BJ isn’t the golden boy anymore. The sport has passed him up, and he himself knows he’s no longer relavant. 280k buys on his card with Diaz.
Nobody cares anymore.
Dana needs to realize that the new upcoming guys are the future of the sport, and the real MMA fans want to see the best fight. Dana always overpays the dinasours and underpays the future of the sport. Get over it Dana!
ton of hawaii guys that gotta be on this card
BJ, brad tavares, travis browne, heck, even leben has a fight school in hawaii and mayhem is popular from fighting here previously.

Remember when BJ was ripped for his fights against florian, sherk, diego, stevenson?

Obviously, "ripped" and "ripped for BJ" are two different things
But I agree that is a BJ in shape!

I'd give him
Cut as opposed to ripped or shredded.
Wait, are those synonyms? (;
You have been banned from Bloody Elbow.
I don’t know what you said, but I don’t like you.

Now i'm not some muscle head, and i'm a good athlete.
I get motivated by 3 things looking up fat people on youtube, listening to good music, and looking at hot girls. And usually when i start eating healthy i love to workout along with it.
Long live the dragon!!!

Is the name of the game on Mania.
: D
Mania is not quite Mania without Dakatak. Come back soon, Dak.

YES I've been waiting for this for my whole life!!
I live in Hawaii so this means a lot.
A lightweight
BJ should NOT be fighting at 170.
Yeah he has to engorge himself with heavy
Foods to make weight, it’s ridiculous but can’t deny he has balls.
