BJ is probably my favorite fighter off all time because of his just scrap that makes this even harder to watch

Damn that hurt my heart to see Penn like that

— Will Brooks (@illwillbrooks86) July 7, 2014

BJ may have made the weight cut look easy but I don't think it really was for him. He just didn't look healthy

— Will Brooks (@illwillbrooks86) July 7, 2014

Who's bj penns striking coach for this fight? Whoever it is screw you because you ruined him! :/

— Cody Bollinger (@CodyBollinger) July 7, 2014

Sad to see @bjpenndotcom to lose but @FrankieEdgar is a tough fighter as well

— Johny Hendricks (@JohnyHendricks) July 7, 2014

That was sad. Goes to show you that you can't take 3 yrs off and not train even if you're BJ Penn this sport evolves to fast for that..

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) July 7, 2014

I'm saddened to see this fight unfolding the way it has. @bjpenndotcom is a legend but just shell of what he once was :/ #TUF19Finale @ufc

— Bubba McDaniel (@BubbaTheMenace) July 7, 2014

Excited for Edgar, but heartbreaking to watch BJ go out like that!

— Louis Gaudinot (@LouGaudinotUFC) July 7, 2014

There are some people you just can't beat. Unfortunately for BJ Penn, that's Frankie Edgar – Beautiful finish – #TUF19Finale

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 7, 2014

BJ was one of my favorite fighters when I was younger. Sad Day. Terrible Matchmaking

— Ben Askren (@Benaskren) July 7, 2014
