\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been exactly one month since we saw The Prodigy \u201cSCRAP\u201d for the last time inside the famed UFC octagon, that same octagon in which he helped build. The fight, Penn\u2019s third battle against fellow former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar, was what many are calling his worst performance to-date. And for the first time since that night, BJ Penn is talking to the media about his last fight as a prize-fighter.<\/p>\n

BJPENN.COM<\/strong>:<\/strong> We haven\u2019t really heard from you in a month, so just tell the fans what you\u2019ve been up during the first month of retirement<\/em>:<\/p>\n

BJ Penn<\/em><\/strong>: \u201cI\u2019ve just been hanging out at home, hanging out on the big island, enjoying time with the family and just kind of putting everything into perspective.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We know the fight didn’t go your way, but outside of that, what goes on in your mind following a life-changing decision like retirement?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to come back and do around 5 fights but, you know, everything got cut short, so…\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the kind of guy that can keep himself busy. I don\u2019t like to just sit around the house and do nothing. I love working, I love staying busy. I\u2019ve just been trying to focus on what\u2019s best for the website and focus on what\u2019s next for all the gyms I got coming up.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is your opinion on how the fight went down?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI went to show up and do my best job and things didn\u2019t go my way. Hats off to Frankie Edgar; he fought a great fight. I went in there and I gave it my best effort, you know, and everything ended up the way it did.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A lot of fans and media members have questioned the physical appearance of BJ Penn on fight night and have started formulating their own opinions about how healthy BJ really was heading into that fight.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on that? Did we see BJ Penn at his best that night?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I step into the octagon I definitely plan on giving my best effort no matter what the circumstances are. If people didn\u2019t think that I looked good that night then that\u2019s just their opinion and their entitled to it.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What was the game plan heading into the fight and what was the main cause or purpose of the differentiated fighting style that you incorporated that night?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThat boxing style, I\u2019ve been using that for the past year and a half, two years, and we had a bunch of training partners come in and I did well with everybody.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe first training partners we brought in were Lowen Tynanes; the current ONE FC Champ, Russell Doane came in and then, after that, Dominick Cruz came in. After Dominick Cruz came in Nik Lentz came in, Mirsad Bektic and Nik Lentz came in together, and we had great success with everybody in training and sparring. You know, when you do something new you\u2019re rewarded if you win and you\u2019re criticized when you lose. I know that\u2019s part of the game.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as how we were doing in training, using the style that we used in the fight, we were doing great. We had no problems training with anybody. There was nobody that just came in and wiped us out or anything like that, so, you know? That\u2019s about all I can say about that.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So if everything was looking good in camp and you seemed to be firing on all cylinders, what was the difference from then to fight night? Was it mental? Was it something that wasn\u2019t right?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a competitor myself I just have to take my hat off to Frankie, you know? He did a good job that evening.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In hindsight was going down to featherweight the wrong move to make?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI keep going back about a lot of things\u2026was it even smart to go down to 145 pounds in the first place? Were you going to have the energy all sucked out, you know? I haven\u2019t been to 145 in about 18 years but besides that this whole last year of my life I\u2019ve been just hanging around 160 pounds, trying to watch my weight after the Rory MacDonald fight. I just wanted to watch my weight for general health for myself and my family, and I just stayed around 160 pounds. So, you know, that\u2019s what I sparred at, I sparred at that weight, at 158 pounds, so, you know, that\u2019s just how it all went down.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

How was the weight cut specifically? \u00a0How did it all go as a whole?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cActually, cutting the weight down was pretty easy for me. I stayed disciplined. I didn\u2019t go out and mess around. I\u2019m actually more disciplined than people think or what they give me credit for. The weight cut, of course, is never going to be easy. Going down to a weight that you\u2019ve never been down to in your life, but besides that I stayed disciplined and I made the weight. One thing that I can say is that I stayed disciplined and I made the weight.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What was your overall experience in working with Mike Dolce for the weight cut and nutrition?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as Mike Dolce goes; I would never hire him again for anything.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Would you like to elaborate?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cNo, that\u2019s it. Next question.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The subject quickly shifted and BJ was then asked the golden question that many fans have been pondering for the last month:<\/p>\n

BJ, are you going to stay retired?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI think I should stay retired. One thing I know is that I put a lot of effort, a lot of energy into this camp. I trained for the last year to do this camp, to do this fight, and one thing at my age\u2026I love training, I was looking to do five fights, but now that I look back and I\u2019ve fought the last four or five times without any reward and staying in training camps and waiting for all these young kids to come in and spar with me; the Dominick Cruzes, the Nik Lentzes. You know? I just sit around for hours on end waiting for them to come in and spar with me and punch me in my face. And not that I don\u2019t hold my own but I\u2019m getting very burnt-out, very exhausted, and very discouraged to not have my hand raised, to not have a smile on my face after the fight, and it\u2019s been a long road and a long fight. If you saw me spar in the gym or workout with any of these guys you would say, \u2018man, this guy should be fighting everybody.\u2019 But after the last few fights I\u2019m kind of getting tired.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Is there anything specific that you can attribute to you putting together these great camps and then falling short come fight night?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

BJ laughingly replied,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe famous saying goes, if we didn\u2019t have bad luck we\u2019d have none at all.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He continued,<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what it is. I know I can still fight with these guys but I\u2019m not going to sit here and tell everybody\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMistakes are made in the camp. Here or there, all it can be is either we don\u2019t belong fighting or there were mistakes made in the camp.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Does age ever cross your mind as the reason for you losing fights?<\/em><\/p>\n

Without a doubt. I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s just the age or the number, that I\u2019m 35, because there are fighters out there who are older than me that are fighting at my age or a year younger and they\u2019re doing fine. I would say, yeah I would say it has to be the age. If I have to pin it on anything I would say\u2026but I love this stuff. I love the training, I love all this stuff but maybe the age, I\u2019m at the point where sitting around for a couple of months waiting for your sparring partners to get there\u2026maybe that\u2019s just something I don\u2019t want to do anymore. Who knows? I don\u2019t know. I could have sworn everything was good this last camp but, you know, things ended up that way.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you think that you will ever compete in one of the fast-rising grappling competitions, like Matamoris?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to the competition aspect of anything I just love the Ultimate Fighting so much. I\u2019ve been involved with it for so long. I\u2019m just so used to training for a fight, in those ways, you know, it\u2019d be tough to go back to anything else. I\u2019m not totally counting myself out from doing any professional grappling competitions but one thing that would be different is, I wouldn\u2019t train at all for it.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot see myself spending money, bringing people down and this and that, for a grappling competition at this point in my life.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the future of BJ Penn?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to keep the same fire I used to get to the top of mixed martial arts and I\u2019m going to do all of that with the businesses that I have; with BJPenn.com, with the BJ Penn UFC Gyms. I\u2019m going to keep moving, keep moving forward, putting one foot in front of the other and enjoy my life. Enjoy my family. You know, there\u2019s still a lot of fight left inside of me but I guess that\u2019s where it\u2019s going to stay for now.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In conclusion BJ had this to say about longtime striking coach, corner man, and friend, Jason Parillo:<\/p>\n

\u201cI owe it to Jason Parillo to clear his name. He showed up the week of the fight in Vegas to help corner me. He did not train me in any boxing nor did he help with any game planning for the fight. He did not help or give any advice about cutting the weight or rehydrating myself after the weigh-in. He was only there to be a voice in the corner.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We would like to sincerely thank BJ Penn for taking the time to share his thoughts with all of the fans here at BJPenn.com and we wish him all the best in his future outside the octagon. We all know you will be a champion outside the cage just as much as he was inside it. Thanks for all the great memories BJ. We look forward to hearing great things about you, your gyms, and your family. Mahalo.<\/p>\n
