It\u2019s the latest big fight for \u201cThe Prodigy\u201d and one which may very well join the fights below as a defining moment in his storied career.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Caol-Uno\">Caol Uno<\/a> \u2013 November 2, 2001 \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/UFC-34-High-Voltage\">UFC 34<\/a><br \/>\nResult \u2013 Penn KO1\u00a0I (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.tv\/ufc\/video\/bj-penn-vs-caol-uno-ufc-34\/168\">Watch Video<\/a>)<\/strong><br \/>\nPenn burst on the UFC scene in May of 2001, when he made his pro debut with a first round stoppage of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Joey-Gilbert\">Joey Gilbert<\/a> at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/UFC-31-Locked--Loaded\">UFC 31.<\/a> After following that win up with a stoppage of legitimate contender <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Din-Thomas\">Din Thomas<\/a> in the first round at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/UFC-32-Showdown-In-The-Meadowlands\">UFC 32,<\/a> he was pitted against Japanese star Caol Uno in what was seen as yet another test. Penn &#8211; who admitted staying up nights with a nervous energy while waiting for the fight to come &#8211; tore out of his corner at the opening bell, and 11 seconds later, he was victorious after a vicious striking demonstration. What most may remember from the fight though is Penn sprinting out of the Octagon and back to his locker room after the fight, showing that there is no one in the fight game quite like him.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Jens-Pulver\">Jens Pulver<\/a> I \u2013 January 11, 2002 \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/UFC-35-Throwdown\">UFC 35<\/a><br \/>\nResult \u2013 Pulver W5\u00a0I (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.tv\/ufc\/video\/jens-pulver-vis-bj-penn-ufc-35\/170\">Watch Video<\/a>)<\/strong><br \/>\nTo most observers, this fight should have been over before it started. No one gave reigning lightweight champ Pulver a chance of beating Penn in this one, yet after one of the grittiest performances in UFC history, \u201cLil\u2019 Evil\u2019 successfully defended his crown by beating Penn via a five round decision. The loss crushed the heavily favored Hawaiian. \u201cI didn\u2019t know what I was gonna do with my life or my career,\u201d he remembered. \u201cEverything was in shambles. I didn\u2019t know what to think, I didn\u2019t know where to go. The only thing I was sure about was that it was a great learning experience. But I didn\u2019t know where to go. I didn\u2019t know what was up, what was down, what was left, what was right, or what was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Matt-Hughes\">Matt Hughes<\/a> I \u2013 January 31, 2004 \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/UFC-46-Super-Natural\">UFC 46<\/a><br \/>\nResult \u2013 Penn Wsub1\u00a0I (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.tv\/ufc\/video\/bj-penn-vs-matt-hughes-ufc-46\/164\">Watch Video<\/a>)<\/strong><br \/>\nPenn returned four months after the Pulver fight and stopped <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Paul-Creighton\">Paul Creighton<\/a> in two less than compelling rounds. He then won a close decision over <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Matt-Serra\">Matt Serra<\/a> in a bout some believed the New Yorker won, before fighting Uno again for the title Pulver vacated, this time with the two going to an unsatisfying five round draw. A win over <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Takanori-Gomi\">Takanori Gomi<\/a> in a non-UFC bout in Hawaii was a more positive result, but it wasn\u2019t until his return at UFC 46 that people got a glimpse of the \u2018real\u2019 BJ Penn again, as he moved up 15 pounds to the welterweight division and shocked the world with a first round submission of the seemingly unbeatable Matt Hughes. Finally, BJ Penn was a champion\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Lyoto-Machida\">Lyoto Machida<\/a> \u2013 March 26, 2005 \u2013 K-1 Hero\u2019s 1<br \/>\nResult \u2013 Machida W3<\/strong><br \/>\nThe new welterweight champ wouldn\u2019t stick around long, and after a contract dispute, Penn left the UFC. Following his departure, he wasted little time getting back into action, as he submitted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Duane-Ludwig\">Duane Ludwig<\/a> in the first round just four months after beating Hughes. What followed was a somewhat bizarre three fight string that saw him moving up even further in weight to take on Rodrigo and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Renzo-Gracie\">Renzo Gracie<\/a> and current UFC light heavyweight contender Lyoto Machida. Amazingly enough, Penn won two of the three bouts, only dropping a decision to Machida in a heavyweight bout in March of 2005. Penn heard the criticism of his decision to jump around weight wise, but for him, it was just another way of testing the philosophies of his first love, jiu-jitsu. \u201cJiu-jitsu was created where the small man can beat the big man, and I\u2019ve been doing jiu-jitsu since I was 17 years old, and that has always stuck in my head throughout all the time and all the way until now,\u201d said Penn. \u201cIt\u2019s ingrained in me that I believe I have a chance. I know that something\u2019s gonna happen, the guy\u2019s gonna make a mistake and I\u2019m gonna get that armlock or get that choke.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Georges-St-Pierre\">Georges St-Pierre<\/a> I \u2013 March 4, 2006 \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/UFC-58-USA-vs-Canada\">UFC 58<\/a><br \/>\nResult \u2013 St-Pierre W3<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile Penn was gone from the UFC, Montreal\u2019s Georges St-Pierre made his mark on the welterweight division and was zooming in towards a title shot. But Penn, quick to reclaim his territory in his first fight back in the Octagon in over two years, dominated the first round against St-Pierre, bloodying his foe and leading most to believe that the fight might soon be over. No one told GSP though, as he roared back and won the next two rounds on two judges\u2019 scorecards, earning a three round split decision in the process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jens Pulver II \u2013 June 23, 2007 \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/The-Ultimate-Fighter-5-Finale\">The Ultimate Fighter 5 <\/a>Finale<br \/>\nResult \u2013 Penn Wsub2<\/strong><br \/>\nPenn had reached a crossroads in his career after the losses to St-Pierre and in his September 2006 rematch with Hughes &#8211; Re-dedicate himself or become an opponent. Penn decided to drop to 155 pounds again, and he set his sights on an old rival \u2013 Jens Pulver. \u201cI was searching and wondering who I was in the fight game and then I went back and watched my first fight against Joey Gilbert and then I remembered who I was,\u201d said Penn. \u201cI was that guy, and then I started doing everything and getting back on top. It was wanting to fight Jens Pulver again that got me back on the horse.\u201d Add in six weeks of competition as rival coaches on the fifth season of The Ultimate Fighter, and the rivalry hit a nice boil by the time Penn evened the score with a second round submission that revived his career.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Joe-Stevenson\">Joe Stevenson<\/a> \u2013 January 19, 2008 \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/UFC-80-RAPID-FIRE\">UFC 80<\/a><br \/>\nResult \u2013 Penn Wsub2 I (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.tv\/ufc\/video\/bj-penn-vs-joe-stevenson-ufc-80\/167\">Watch Video<\/a>)<\/strong><br \/>\nIt took him six years, but Penn finally won the UFC lightweight title when he submitted Joe Stevenson in the second round. It was a satisfying victory for him, and one that got him even more excited for the fights to come in the next few years. \u201cSomething just awoke inside of me where I said \u2018what are you doing? You can beat every one of these people. You\u2019ve been doing it half-assed all this time and it\u2019s time to finally step up and let\u2019s see it.\u2019 If you can\u2019t, you can\u2019t, but at least you know you tried. Words can\u2019t explain how pumped I am about fighting right now. It\u2019s what I am, it\u2019s who I am, and it\u2019s what I want to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Georges St-Pierre II \u2013 January 31, 2009 \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/UFC-94-STPIERRE-VS-PENN-2\">UFC 94<\/a><br \/>\nResult \u2013 St-Pierre TKO I (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.tv\/ufc\/video\/georges-stpierre-vs-bj-penn-ufc-94\/1780\">Watch Video<\/a>)<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter beating Stevenson for the title, the new 155-pound king was a new man. He tore through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Sean-Sherk\">Sean Sherk<\/a> in his first defense at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/UFC-84-ILL-WILL\">UFC 84,<\/a> and for Penn, the only logical next fight was a rematch with St-Pierre for the welterweight crown. It was the biggest superfight the UFC had seen in years, and anticipation was sky-high. The only problem was that St-Pierre was just too big and strong for Penn the second time around, and after four one-sided rounds, the Hawaiian\u2019s corner had seen enough.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Diego-Sanchez\">Diego Sanchez<\/a> \u2013 December 12, 2009 \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/UFC-107-PENN-vs-SANCHEZ\">UFC 107<\/a><br \/>\nResult \u2013 Penn TKO5<\/strong><br \/>\nThe loss to GSP was a crusher for Penn, so everyone wondered how he would respond in his next bout back at 155, especially considering that Sanchez promised to take Penn into the late rounds and simply outwork him en route to taking the title. Penn, a little more low-key than usual leading up to the bout, took everything in and then unleashed it on fight night, putting on one of his best performances in dominating Sanchez before finishing him in the fifth round. Cardio? The Prodigy had plenty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Hughes III \u2013 November 20, 2010 \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/UFC123\">UFC 123<\/a><br \/>\nResult \u2013 Penn KO1 I (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.tv\/ufc\/video\/matt-hughes-vs-bj-penn-ufc-123\/450\">Watch Video<\/a>)<\/strong><br \/>\nThe win over Sanchez would be Penn\u2019s last as lightweight champion, as he lost a razor-thin decision to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/fighter\/Frankie-Edgar\">Frankie Edgar<\/a> at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/event\/UFC-112-INVINCIBLE\">UFC 112 <\/a>in April of 2010 and then a more lopsided verdict in their rematch in August of that year. Undeterred, Penn surprised many when he revealed that he was moving back to 170, and his first opponent at UFC 123 would be none other than his old nemesis Hughes. In the rubber match though, Penn took care of business quickly, knocking the Hall of Famer out in just 21 seconds. When it was over, it was shades of the first Uno fight, as Penn sprinted out of the Octagon before returning for the official announcements. As he said after the bout, \u201cI\u2019ve been trying to do a fight like the (first) Uno fight for the last nine years and it just never came out that way. So when this fight (with Hughes) ended up ending very quick with a knockout, I was pumped up, I started screaming in the ring for a little bit and I was like \u2018here it is, here\u2019s my chance. I\u2019m gonna get out there and I\u2019m gonna do it \u2013 Elvis is gonna leave the building.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufc.com\/news\/Ten-Best-BJ-Penn-Most-Memorable-Moments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8211; By Thomas Gerbasi courtesy UFC.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On December 8th, former UFC welterweight and lightweight champion BJ Penn returns to the Octagon to battle young gun Rory MacDonald.
