Rory MacDonald (Pictured) talked plenty of smack heading into Saturday’s shootout against BJ Penn, which caused Penn to challenge the youngster to back up his yack inside the cage at Thursday’s pre-fight presser.
Well, as the old adage goes,”The proof is in the pudding.”
MacDonald dominated “The Prodigy” for 15 lopsided minutes en route to cruising to a unanimous decision victory. Following the fight, UFC president Dana White said on the FUEL TV post-fight show that he believes Penn should retire (again).
UFC on FOX 5 took place inside Key Arena in Seattle, Washington.

Are you like me? Are you one of those frustrated BJ Penn fans who just doesn't understand why he chooses to continue to compete at 170 pounds? Do you find it strange that the smallest welterweight in the division would come out of retirement to take on the largest welterweight in the division? Well, after watching Lions football every Sunday for the last 20 some years of my life...

If this is really it, and some hope for BJ’s sake it is, then it was a good run. BJ Penn without a doubt is UFC Hall of Fame worthy, even though his pedestrian on paper record of 16-9-2 would make the average fan scoff, we know the the kid from Hilo would just scrap [...]

In the fight business, there’s a cruel reality that athletes can turn old overnight. Well, in BJ Penn’s (Pictured) case, it took Rory MacDonald only 15 minutes to make the former two-divisional UFC champion look like he’s well beyond his prime.
If you were to ask UFC president Dana White, the 33-year-old needs to call it quits … again.

Everyone knows that BJ Penn(16-8-2) has always been regarded as the prodigy. He became the first non Brazilian to win the World Jiu-Jitsu Championships (black belt division) at the age of 21. He won two UFC titles in two different weight classes, and his fearless mantra of I’ll fight anyone in any division has made him a legend. Penn epitomizes what MMA used to be.
