They call him “The Prodigy” for a reason.
Arguably no fighter in UFC history was blessed with more natural ability than BJ Penn.
Though he has had his fair share of ups and downs inside the Octagon, every once in a while he gives the fans a performance that can make even the most devoted Penn hater sit back in awe.
Penn has won titles in two separate weight classes, fought everyone from Takanori Gomi to Lyoto Machida and has been considered one of the best fighters in the world throughout his career.
However, the performances that he will be remembered for are the fights where he came out and literally destroyed the opposition.
Few fighters possess the highlight reel finishes that Penn does, and most of his fantastic wins have come inside the Octagon in high pressure situations.
This isn’t a list of Penn’s greatest achievements, or his best fights, but rather a collection of the times that Penn was so utterly brutal and dominant that fans started to wonder how anyone was ever able to survive against him.
