It was a long and horrible night for Penn when he lost his fight to current Lightweight Champion Frankie "The Answer" Edgar at UFC 118. Penn has been through various ups and downs in the last few years, from defeating Diego Sanchez and Kenny Florian as they battled for his belt, to losing three title shots (one of which costing him his Lightweight Champion belt) to current welterweight and lightweight champions, George "Rush" St. Pierre and Fankie "The Answer" Edgar. Quite possiblly the UFC's best Lightweight fighter to date, BJ "The Prodigy" Penn, has lost three of his last five fights against various fighters. Is The Prodigy on a downwhirl spiral twords to more of a middle-skill level competition in the UFC? You can be sure that his next fight will without a doubt be his "make it or break it" fight. Fight Fans must ask themselves, who would better suit an opponet for Penn in quite possibly one of the biggest fights in his carrer then the man who stopped his undefeated streak years ago, Matt Hughes.
It is now for sure that the question of BJ Penn's future in the UFC will be decided at UFC 123, which is scheduled to take place November 20th in Detroit, Michigan. The two respectable fighters will face off for a third time, as Penn hopes to redeem himself from his past losses, and quite possibly begin his takeoff in the welterweight division. If BJ Penn wins the fight, it is quite possible that the hawaiian will have a second shot in the near future at Welterweight Champion George St. Pierre. This next fight for BJ Penn will be a major turning point in the once Lightweight Champion's career. Lets make it happen!!!
