Nik Lentz has offered to help BJ Penn with his recent troubles — but that doesn’t mean he’s not going to put a beating on him when they eventually meet.

Penn was recently in the news after footage emerged of him taking part in a street fight with a civilian in Hawaii. In one of the clips, the civilian even knocked Penn out cold. Such incidents outside the Octagon could put a wrench in the plans for his last UFC fight which is set to be against Lentz.

So how did Lentz react to the footage?

“Somebody needs to talk to BJ, and that’s the whole reason I took this fight in the first place,” Lentz told TMZ. “The whole reason I took this fight in the first place, BJ, is I told you, you need to get your life together.”

Lentz went on to advise Penn to get out of Hawaii and train at his gym in South Florida so that something worse doesn’t happen next time.

“We’re watching a live train-wreck,” he added. “That’s what we’re watching and we’ve been watching it for a long time. And somebody needs to go in there and stop him before he ends up dead. Who is to say the next guy doesn’t have a knife or a gun or he gets knocked out and he hits his head on the curb and he dies?”

While he has offered Penn help, that doesn’t mean Lentz doesn’t plan on not beating him up either when they collide in the Octagon:

“We can have a little peace offering here,” he continued. “Not only will I beat him up, but I will teach him and I will help him and I will get him out of there (Hawaii), where the cameras are sucking him in, where people are taking videos of him on the street. I’m going to help him more than he’s ever been helped in his life. Now I’m gonna kick his ass for money at the same time, but I’m still gonna help him.”

As for when the fight could take place, Lentz heard murmurs of UFC Boston which takes place on October 18. However, the recent incident could change things.

Nik Lentz revealed that both him and his wife have been subject to online harassment from BJ Penn.

It was recently revealed that Lentz and Penn would be competing against each other sometime later this year. Both fighters have beef with each other, but many expected the latter to have retired by now, especially considering his current losing streak.

However, Lentz revealed how the fight came about from his perspective, detailing how Penn usually talks trash to him on Instagram every now and then:

“Well, you know BJ comes on my Instagram every couple of months or something talking crap,” Lentz said on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show on Monday. “So I noticed the other day he came on there, talking about how he would see me soon or something. I thought it was a joke or something… I just assumed I was pretty much done with him. And then the UFC reached out to me and asked if I wanted to fight him.“

When asked further about Penn talking trash to him, Lentz went into detail:

“Non-stop,” he explained. “Every couple of months, he would send me direct messages, threatening me, threatening my family. The guy’s a wack job. He’s been allowed to just be this bad person his entire life because he’s good at something… He comes on my Instagram all the time. When I don’t respond to him, he goes to my wife’s Instagram to say ‘hey, tell your husband to respond to me on my Instagram.’”

Lentz added that him and Penn were supposed to fight in the past only for the latter to never sign a contract. However, things have changed this time, especially as it seems to be his last fight in the UFC:

“I don’t know why all of a sudden he’s decided, maybe he came down off some coke binge and he decided now’s the time we’re gonna actually accept it,” he added. “No fight is scheduled yet, I’ve accepted the fight. I guess he’s verbally accepted it as well. I’m just waiting on the date from the UFC.”
