UFC president Dana White revealed on Tuesday that he has spoken with BJ Penn about his return to active MMA competition. When he was reached for comment by MMAjunkie, White confirmed the news of Penn coming out of retirement, but was short on details.

“(It’s) true,” White told MMAjunkie. “But I don’t know when or who he will fight.”

Penn called out Nick Lentz earlier in January, then officially announced his return on Tuesday. Penn hasn’t fought since 2014.
