BJ Penn Meets With Greg Jackson, Preparing For UFC Comeback Fight?

As things stand right now, UFC Hall Of Famer BJ Penn is a retired former two-division UFC Champion, however a recent meeting with legendary MMA coach Greg Jackson has fans thinking “The Prodigy” could soon be returning to the Octagon.

Penn met with …

Penn met with the man considered to be among the best trainers in MMA history this week in Albuquerque, New Mexico to discuss joining the Jackson/Winklejohn fight team, a team that is home to multiple UFC stars and champions, such as Jon Jones and Holly Holm.

Following the meeting, Jackson told MMAFighting.com, “I’m pleased with how the meeting went and very optimistic about the future. BJ doesn’t have any specific fight plans, but we have [our own] plans.”

Penn sparked rumors of a potential UFC comeback fight by taking to social media to post a photo (see below) of himself with Jackson after the meeting with a caption that read “We Coming!!” It’s worth pointing out that Penn tagged the official Twitter accounts of the UFC and UFC President Dana White in the tweet.

A former UFC Welterweight and UFC Lightweight Champion, “The Prodigy” BJ Penn retired from the sport with a 0-3-1 record in the last four fights of his Hall Of Fame career, with losses to Nick Diaz, Rory MacDonald and Frankie Edgar, and a draw against Jon Fitch. His last professional MMA victory dates back to his knockout of Matt Hughes in their rubber match at UFC 123 in 2010.

Penn was officially inducted into the “Modern Era Wing” of the UFC Hall Of Fame during UFC’s annual International Fight Week in Las Vegas last July.

On Monday evening news broke that UFC women’s bantamweight contender, and TUF 18 coach, Cat Zingano had injured her right knee badly earlier this month.

The news was revealed on Tuesday when filming began on the reality series when UFC champ Ronda Rousey was given a big surprise when former nemesis Miesha Tate walked out.

In an interview with Yahoo! Sports (via MMAWeekly.com) Zingano discussed her injury with them.

“I was doing my regular routine, my strength and conditioning,” Zingano told Yahoo! Sports by telephone shortly before she was wheeled into surgery. “I was jumping over tunnels that were about 12 inches high. I’d jumped over them like 10 times already. This one time, I jumped up and my left knee came down right on track and my right knee bent outward.

“Snap, crackle, pop, and I hit the floor. That was all she wrote. It was terrible. It hurt bad, but the thing that bothered me most was the sound. I never experienced anything like that.”

Zingano posted the photo of her after undergoing surgery to repair the knee on Monday via Twitter (@CatZingano).

– Well… Just got off surgery. Thx @danawhite and @ufc for all ur support thru all of this. pic.twitter.com/Be8QNYdS8V

UFC light heavyweight Alexander ‘The Mauler’ Gustafsson (15-1) posted a photo of the cut which forced him out of this weekends UFC on FUEL TV 9 event.

Gustafsson posted the image of the cut over his left eye on his website, themauler.com, along with a message to fans.

(Translated using Google Translate)

To all of you who are wondering, I would tell you what the situation looks like, and what happened:
During Thursday’s (March 28) passes as we ran wrestling exercises I lost my balance and pitched eyebrow in a very unfortunate way when I hit my head on one burpelaren. Immediately after it happened, I went to the hospital and sewed three stitches. I was quite prepared to compete until the doctors called and told me that cuttet is so unfortunate and will not have time to heal in time until the gala.
It is of course extremely sad when träningscampet has gone very well, except for the eyebrow, I am in my best form and completely ready for the match. It is also sad for my opponent, Gegard Mousasi, who has also been training long and hard for this match.
I and my team have done everything we can to get set up and compete despite cuttet, it is unfortunately not in our hands anymore.
I am extremely sorry for this and I feel with Gegard Mousasi. The next step now is that I sit down with the team and planning the future.

Thanks again for all your support!

It appears that the image is no longer on Gustafsson’s website and this image comes via MMAjunkie.com.

Gustafsson was scheduled to headliner this weekends TV event opposite Gegard Mousasi (33-3-2) and has since been replaced by teammate Ilir Latifi (7-2) on three days notice.

UFC on FUEL TV 9 is scheduled to take place this Saturday, April 6, at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden. The main card will air on Fuel TV while the prelim card is set to stream live on Facebook.
