BJ PENN!!!


- How is your training during the week?
- I’ve got a newborn fire inside me and I’m gonna do everything in my power to get everything that I’ve always wanted to achieve.

- When and why did you start training for fighting?
- A tae kwon do instructor moved near my house in 96. He took a few private lessons in jiu-jitsu. I never did tae kwon do. He saw me and my friends hanging out around the neighborhood and asked my father to have them come wrestle with him. I never wanted to go and one day my dad was like if you don’t go he won’t stop asking me. So I did it to please my dad. When I went there he tapped me out and my mind started rolling and never stopped.

- What ranks and titles have you held?
- UFC Lightweight Champion. Former UFC World Welterweight champion. Rumble on the Rock lightweight champion. I am the most decorated jiu-jitsu athlete in America. I am the first non-Brazilian to win the world championships at the black belt level.

- Do you have any heroes?
- I have had so many and still do. It wouldn’t be fair to say just one. I have new influences everyday in life and fighting.

- What is your favorite technique?
- My heart and mind are my most important things. I know it doesn’t sound too original but I will prepare properly for each fight and never give up.

- What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC?
- It feels great fighting in the UFC. When I was younger that is the only place I wanted to fight professionally.

- Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn?
- I went to school to learn some wrestling but wasn’t too serious about the academics.

- What was your job before you started fighting? - None.
