Morning Report: B.J. Penn hopes for a short suspension, plans to return after USADA 'speed bump'

Perhaps he should have stayed retired.

In January B.J. Penn announced he was coming out of retirement to return to the UFC. Feeling the urge to get back to fighting, Penn began training at the fabled Jackson-Winklejohn camp in Albuquerque, New Mexico with MMA guru/"sport killer" Greg Jackson who he seems to connect with. The pair have been pleased with Penn's progress and Penn is hopeful about his chances to make a real title run; however, his path back to the octagon has been a bumpy one.
