These days, B.J. Penn is in the sports headlines because of a recent street altercation in Hawaii. One video via TMZ Sports showed “The Prodigy” beating up on a shirtless man, while another showed him being knocked out by a left hook by the same individual.
A representative of the Penn family already spoke out, aiming to clear up the former champion’s name. In a recent interview with TSN, B.J. himself shared his side of the story.
“I’m at a concert going to meet a friend that I’ve known since we were really young kids and I’m over there and an acquaintance of mine, he gets mad about something, you know something was said or it was an old past thing and then he wants to fight about it,” he explained.
