In the Octagon that night, former UFC champ B.J. Penn sounded like a defeated, deflated fighter. He’d just fought to a draw with Jon Fitch at UFC 127, and yet the way he talked in his post-fight interview, it sounded like he might be ready to walk away from MMA for good.
But as Penn told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, that was just the disappointment talking.
“I guess I was just bummed out because I know I can beat that guy, and there I was getting my butt kicked in the third round and ending up with a draw,” Penn said.
