Dana White Doesn’t Want To Book BJ Penn To Fight Anymore

UFC President Dana White does not want to see former two-weight champion BJ Penn compete anymore.

Penn, 40, is the unfortunate holder of a seven-fight losing skid, which happens to be the longest in UFC history. His most recent loss came after getting out-pointed by Clay Guida at UFC 237 last month. Since then, many in the mixed martial arts world have called for the Hawaiian to retire. White is the latest in wanting “The Prodigy” to call it a day:

“No, I want BJ to retire,” White said in a recent interview. “I love BJ Penn. BJ Penn is one of the legends of the sport.

“[But] this is a young man’s game. I gave him a lot of opportunities because he’s BJ and because of the relationship that I’ve had with BJ, you know, his entire career and before that, but I can’t do that again.”

Considering Penn’s last win came against Matt Hughes in November 2010, it’s only natural that many have called for his retirement. Since then, he has suffered defeats to the likes of Nick Diaz, Rory MacDonald, Frankie Edgar and more.

Most recently, he has suffered defeats to Guida, Ryan Hall and Dennis Siver. In the end, though, it’s up to Penn, who doesn’t seem to want to call time just yet. Do you think Penn will call it a day?

Dana White Wants Sage Northcutt To Retire After ONE Championship KO Loss

UFC President Dana White believes mixed martial arts (MMA) is not the right sport for Sage Northcutt, and thinks it’s best for him to retire.

UFC President Dana White believes mixed martial arts (MMA) is not the right sport for Sage Northcutt, and thinks it’s best for him to retire.

Northcutt was on the receiving end of a brutal first-round knockout during his ONE Championship debut last month against Cosmo Alexandre. The finish went viral on social media as the 23-year-old suffered eight fractures and required a nine-hour surgery. Many have criticized ONE Championship for matching him up with such a high-level kickboxer for his debut.

However, White, who let Northcutt go from the UFC, thinks he simply might be in the wrong sport:

“Yeah [he’s not good enough],” White said in a recent interview. “It’s not that the kid doesn’t have some talent. He does have some talent. [But] this isn’t the sport for him. He needs to retire.

“And hopefully the people that surround him listen to what I’m saying and set this kid on another path in life, because he can literally do whatever he wants to do. He’s young, he’s smart. Some people have to fight. Sage Northcutt doesn’t have to fight.”

White added that Northcutt could do anything he wanted, especially something that doesn’t include suffering the kind of injuries that he did against Alexandre:

“I would really like to see Sage Northcutt retire,” White added. “I hope he does. Good looking, charismatic kid, smart. He was an engineer, taking college to be an engineer. He’s got a lot going on in his life.

“This isn’t the sport for him. I don’t want to sound like I’m sh*tting all over the guy because I really like the kid a lot, but this isn’t the sport for him. I would love to see him retire before he seriously gets hurt.”

It might seem harsh from White, considering that was Northcutt’s first knockout defeat. He also holds a record of 11-3 so it’s not like he’s been losing fight after fight either. Regardless, what do you think Northcutt should do?
