Event after event we would trade our war stories, trying to top each other by revealing the journey it took to finally track down the ever-elusive \u201cProdigy.\u201d After it was all over, we would laugh at the same punchline: \u201cBut when we got him, he gave us gold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, after another chase that ended up with the aforementioned gold, I let Penn in on the joke. I told him \u201cwe chase you and chase you, and you drive us crazy, but when we catch you, you give us everything we need and all is forgiven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Penn broke out into a hearty laugh before letting me in on another secret.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy girlfriend says the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That girlfriend at the time, Shealen, is now the mother of Penn\u2019s two daughters, and as she walked into the media room after his bout against Frankie Edgar Sunday night, you could see the pain on her face after watching someone who is more than just a fighter to her lose.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t about the end result, but about seeing the end.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s probably one of the reasons why Penn called it quits at the age of 35, to not put his family and those close to him through watching him in decline, and all would agree that he made the right call.<\/p>\n<p>Some would say that call was overdue, but how do you tell someone who has competed for much of his life not to do it anymore, to just stop? And maybe compete is the wrong word for what BJ Penn did. Since May of 2001, all he did was fight. Or as he put it on his signature t-shirts he would \u201cJust Scrap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And we loved him for it.<\/p>\n<p>He wasn\u2019t all talk though, like some who claim to be willing to throw down at a moment\u2019s notice against anyone. Penn actually did it, from heavyweight to featherweight, against Lyoto Machida and Takanori Gomi, to Georges St-Pierre and Edgar. When you say he fought a who\u2019s who of the sport, it\u2019s no exaggeration, and it could be safe to say that we will never see a body of work among weight classes like that ever again.<\/p>\n<p>He said it was because he wasn\u2019t an athlete, though his athletic gifts always fascinated those who saw him work his jiu-jitsu, either in the gym or on fight night. You never told him that though.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn athlete can go and compete against anyone, anytime, has no problem with how he wins, and that means nothing to him; it\u2019s just a W,\u201d explained Penn before his rematch with Edgar in 2010. \u201cA fighter is a perfectionist and an emotional person. He wants to do things perfectly, and if not, it\u2019s not good enough. And in some ways he needs that emotion, he needs that drive for perfection to make him want to fight. I need to feel that to go out there and fight. An athlete can fight his friends. I can\u2019t fight my friends. It\u2019s harder for me, and I think that\u2019s the difference between an athlete and a fighter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That emotion was evident throughout his 13-year pro career, one that hit the highest highs and the lowest lows. Those highs included UFC title wins at welterweight and lightweight, a feat only Hall of Famer Randy Couture has matched, and it\u2019s a slam dunk that Penn will join Couture in the UFC\u2019s Hall. As for the lows, it was almost as if we felt them with Penn, a fighter whose appeal translated not just to his loyal fans in Hawaii, but fans around the world, throughout the media, and to his fellow fighters. Not many garner that much respect, even in defeat. It wasn\u2019t lost on Penn either, who remarked at the post-fight press conference that it was like he got more popular when he lost than when he won.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/media\/ufc-tuf19-edgar-penn-oct-intv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&gt; Watch: BJ Penn&#8217;s Final Octagon Interview at TUF Finale<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You couldn\u2019t even chalk his appeal up to him having everyman status, because when you saw Penn at his best when he blasted out Caol Uno in 11 seconds in 2001 or submitted Hughes in their first fight in 2004, there was no way everyman could pull that off. No way.<\/p>\n<p>But he didn\u2019t carry himself like an MMA God. He respected and admired his fellow fighters, he greeted his fans like old friends, and when it came to the media, he treated everyone like they were from the biggest publication on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>So what was it? Maybe it was while there was bravado in his pre-fight talk, there was also a grounded reality, a vulnerability that maybe things might not go his way. In late 2010, Penn told me that he had doubts before his third and final bout with Hughes. He had just lost two fights at 155 pounds \u2013 his optimum weight class \u2013 to Edgar, and a loss to Hughes back up at 170 pounds could have crippled his career. What followed was a heart-to-heart with his brother JD back in the locker room in Detroit before the bout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJD, you know what, times have been tough lately for us, but I don\u2019t care if I win or lose, I just want to show everybody why I started doing this,\u201d said Penn to his older brother.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBJ, I could care less if you win or lose too,\u201d JD responded. \u201cGo show everybody who you are.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following that brief moment, Penn began yelling for UFC site coordinator Burt Watson to bring him into the Octagon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCall me, call my name. Come on Burt, call my name.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/media\/SOTW-Penn-Subs-Hughes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&gt; Watch: Classic BJ Penn submit legend Matt Hughes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Penn won that fight in 21 seconds. It was his last victory, and not a bad one to have on your resume. The Hawaiian would continue to fight on, drawing with Jon Fitch before a three-fight losing skid against Nick Diaz, Rory MacDonald, and Edgar. He hinted at retirement after the Diaz fight, was expected to be done after the bout with MacDonald, but he came back one more time for Edgar.<\/p>\n<p>He earned that chance, and he needed it to answer the questions in his head once and for all whether he still had it or not. Again, the end result doesn\u2019t matter, even if this is the end.<\/p>\n<p>BJ Penn was one of the greats. He will be missed. But he will always be remembered.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By:\u00a0Thomas Gerbasi\u00a0via\u00a0UFC.com\u00a0: There was always a running joke among a couple members of the UFC production team and myself when it came to BJ Penn.
