BJ Penn earned a name for himself in the UFC by fighting in two different weight classes. During his time with the promotion, Penn competed at both lightweight and welterweight. However, he was able to secure UFC gold at 155-pounds on more than one occasion. Penn also defended the belt multiple times and paved the way for an influx of talent in MMA from Hawaii. 

During his time with the UFC, ‘The Prodigy’ produced several memorable moments. However, arguably one of the most iconic moments of BJ Penn was an image of him licking his gloves that were covered in blood following his win over Caol Uno.

He put out a message for Jake Paul on Instagram stating, “Don’t ever copy me again you fu**in pu**y, look at my gloves, look at the pillows on your hands 20 years of war! #mankinestuff @jakepaul #kindergarten”

Following the fight, both men agreed that if Tyron Woodley gets an ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattoo, the two men would run it back immediately. This was a bet that Woodley accepted with no hesitation. However, Paul’s recent tweets suggest he might be done with the sport altogether, thus ruling out a potential rematch.

This is highly unlikely as he has just started in the sport and has ambitions of facing the likes of Conor McGregor and Canelo Alvarez, among others. With the win, Paul has only further solidified his place as a legitimate fighter and a big draw in the sport.

Hence, it will be interesting to see if he runs it back immediately with Tyron Woodley or opts for a bigger name in his next fight. Or has he really retired?
