BJ Penn: ‘We have to defend the (UFC) lightweight title’

Quoteworthy:

We’re looking for a return, we have to defend the lightweight title. It’s been long, it’s been overdue since we defended the lightweight title. I had to heal up some of my injuries that I suffered from the Georges St. Pierre fight. I’m all good now so we’re gonna move forward with my same team, my same camp and we’re gonna make a run to defend the lightweight title — I think it’s either late July or early August.

-UFC Lightweight Champion BJ Penn talks about returning to the 155-pound division just hours after his hearing in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) regarding the accusations he made about current welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre getting greased up in between rounds of their championship superfight at UFC 94 “St. Pierre vs. Penn 2″ back on January 31. While the controversy is far from over, it’s refreshing to hear “The Prodigy” speak about getting back to business in the lightweight division — where a handful of contenders (including Kenny Florian) are eagerly awaiting his return.

Hell yea. I say Dana add BJ vs Ken-Flo to UFC 100

War KENFLO!!!!!!!!!!

Tear him in half BJ.

i think Florian can make it to the second round but that's it....BJ chokes him out.

The only thing I'm looking forward to more the Kenny beating BJ is the excuse The Porkigy comes up with to explain his loss...

ditto, I give bj the upper hand in this fight, but I pray bj needs to go crying to his momma again

BJ owns all at 155.

I'm looking forward to this fight, I think that it should be a good one. Florian's got the stamina to beat Penn, but Penn is always dangerous.....regardless of the excuses.

We'll see.

Later.
