August 19th, 2009BJ Penn, Videos 1 CommentBJ Penn: Defends his UFC Lightweight Belt against Kenny Florian
August 10th, 2009BJ Penn No CommentsAfter his failed quest for the welterweight title against Georges St-Pierre in January, BJ Penn returned to the lightweight division Saturday night and showed why he is still the best 155-pounder in the world as he submitted number one contender Kenny Florian in the fourth round of their UFC 101 main event bout at the Wachovia Center.
It was Penn’s second successful defense of the title he won against Joe Stevenson in 2008.
Penn and Florian flew out of the corner to start the bout, with Penn missing a wide right hand. A second right moments later briefly dropped Florian, but ‘Ken Flo’ immediately got his bearings back and began to settle into a groove as he moved around the Octagon. Twice the two would lock up and trade close-range shots, neither man holding a clear advantage against the cage. With under 90 seconds left, the two broke loose and went back to long-range striking, with Florian pushing the action this time, but by the end of the round, Penn was back in control as he jarred the challenger before the bell sounded.
Listen to the interview BJ Penn has with Jim Rome talking about his upcoming fight with Kenny Florian, jumping out of pools, working with Marv Marinovich, and how Hawaiimana has brought new training for BJ.
