Ahead of his upcoming return in UFC Fight Night 103’s headliner, check out one of former champion B.J. Penn’s vintage performances.
Back in 2009 in the UFC 101 pay-per-view headliner, then-lightweight champ Penn looked to rebound from a failed bid to also capture the welterweight belt. After that Georges St-Pierre loss, Penn returned to 155 pounds for a fight with challenger Kenny Florian.
Penn looked to tie the record for UFC lightweight title defenses at the Philadelphia show.
Check out the full fight above.
And catch Penn (16-10-2 MMA, 12-9-2 UFC), who hasn’t fought since 2014, back in action when he takes on fast-rising prospect Yair Rodriguez (8-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC), who’s an honorable mention in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA featherweight rankings.
