UFC Hall Of Famer BJ Penn requested for interviewers not to ask him about his current legal issues ahead of this weekend’s UFC 237 pay-per-view (PPV).

MMA Junkie reports that they were told a previously scheduled interview with Penn was called off upon the fighter’s request. Penn also reportedly instructed several other media outlets not to ask about the current domestic abuse allegations against him, as well as his current police investigation in which a farmer claims Penn threatened him with a machete.

Penn will be facing Clay Guida at UFC 237 this weekend. He currently holds the longest winless streak in the UFC. “The Prodigy” hasn’t won a fight since 2010 when he knocked out Matt Hughes in just 21 seconds at UFC 123.

In his next fight, Penn went to a draw with Jon Fitch. After that, he went on a six-fight losing streak that has lasted up until now. He hopes to end his winless drought against the 37-year-old Guida in Rio De Janeiro. Penn suffered a first-round submission loss Ryan Hall in his last outing in December.

As for Guida, he had a two-fight win streak ended by Charles Oliveira in the first round of their fight at UFC 225 in June.

Nate Diaz Avoids Arrest For Alleged Clay Guida Brawl

Nate Diaz is off the hook for an alleged brawl earlier this year.

The post Nate Diaz Avoids Arrest For Alleged Clay Guida Brawl appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Nate Diaz avoided arrest in his alleged brawl with UFC veteran Clay Guida.

A report surfaced from MMAjunkie clarifying that police revealed Guida had declined to press charges. Guida and Diaz allegedly brawled at May’s Combate Americas 20 event from Sacramento, California. A police investigation soon followed.

Guida had filed an incident report with officers. ‘The Carpenter’s’  attorney John Fosco alleged Diaz had pushed him in the back and  bloodied his lip. Guida’s teammate Tyler Diamond claimed Diaz had slapped him because he tried to intervene. Detectives interviewed supposed witnesses in an attempt to procure the necessary arrest warrant. Guida declined to press charges, however, and the case is now closed due to his decision.

Diaz has been in the news lately a much bigger reason. He will finally return to the octagon against top-ranked competitor Dustin Poirier at November’s UFC 230. Diaz made a scene by storming out of the UFC 25th Anniversary Press Conference when Conor McGregor’s promo began playing.

Diaz then alleged that UFC president Dana White had been untruthful about why he had been out of action for two years. The fan-favorite claimed a lawsuit prevented him from fighting. He did not, meanwhile, turn down multiple fights as White insisted.

For the time being, Diaz’ legal slate is clear and his return appears imminent.

Quote: Clay Guida ‘Got Punk’d Worse Than CM Punk’ At UFC 225

People are still making fun of CM Punk and now one UFC star is comparing Clay Guida’s performance to the former WWE champion.

People are still making fun of CM Punk and now one UFC star is comparing Clay Guida’s performance to the former WWE champion.

That star is Bobby Green who has voiced his displeasure with how Guida has talked about him following his decision to pull out of their scheduled lightweight bout at UFC 225 earlier this month in Chicago, Illinois at the Allstate Arena.

For those who may not remember, Green suffered a knee injury that forced him out of the fight. The news was made official less than two weeks prior to UFC 225.

As a result of this knee injury, he had to undergo surgery to get it fixed and it actually went down this past week, which has him already on the comeback trail.

This is when Charles Oliveira stepped in as a late replacement and was able to submit the UFC Veteran in the first round at this pay-per-view event.

During a recent interview, Guida talked about Green’s withdrawal, which was not very positive.

“Bobby, ‘Bobby Yellow’ I call him, because he’s a coward,” Guida told MMAjunkie. “He ducked out three times against my coach Danny Castillo, so we weren’t the least bit surprised (he withdrew). He’s a taunter, he’s a talker. Very sloppy fighter.”

Green caught wind of Guida’s comments. Thus, he recently took to an Instagram Live session where he put Guida on blast for his comments. With his return to the Octagon expected to be in the coming months, Green made it clear that he wants a piece of Guida.

“He’s probably sitting somewhere on a loser’s couch icing his (expletive) coochy, icing his (expletive) vagina,” Green said. “My thing is like, he wants to talk all this super-(expletive) about me, about pulling out and ‘Bobby Yellow’ and ‘Bobby Brown’ and all this super talking (expletive). But you let a mother(expletive) come in here and beat your ass on two weeks’ notice, a 145er? And finished you? You didn’t even last two minutes.

“You were training on a full camp. You did worse than CM Punk. Are you serious? Are you serious? You did worse than CM Punk. You got Punk’d worse than CM Punk. Are you (expletive) serious? Get the (expletive) out of here. This mother(expletive). I don’t get that (expletive).”

“I apologized, I said to him and (UFC matchmaker) Sean (Shelby) for my shortcomings,” Green said. “Then I see this mother(expletive) article about him talking (expletive). I told him I’m sorry and I apologized for what happened, but I promise I will make it up to you. Then somewhere in there this (expletive) think he can come and overstep the boundaries. Now we going to really expose you. You got whooped up on in two minutes by a guy who jumped off the couch, and a 145er at that.”
