 <\/p>\n

This Sunday at the Ultimate Fighter 19 finale BJ Penn will look to make his return to the octagon a sweet one by defeating Frankie Edgar. This fight is exciting for so many different reasons. It’s the return of “The Prodigy”, who hasn’t fought since December of 2012. It’s also a new weight class for the former lightweight and welterweight champion, who will make his featherweight debut. We could be looking at a new beginning for Penn with a win on Sunday, but UFC president Dana White has a different plan if things don’t go Penn’s way.<\/p>\n

While on FOX Sports 1 on Tuesday, White discussed the fight and said that if Penn loses to Edgar than he plans on sitting down and giving him the talk.<\/p>\n

“This is BJ Penn’s last fight possibly,” White said on FOX Sports 1. “If he wins, we’ll see what he does from there, but if he loses, I will actually push for him to retire.”<\/p>\n

“It could be possibly watching Michael Jordan playing his last basketball game,” White said. “It could be Tiger Woods’ last golf game.”<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of different questions going into this fight but one thing that is certain is that Penn will bring it and fight like a warrior until the final bell sounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
