After tractorizing Diego Sanchez and successfully defend the UFC lightweight belt, the Hawaiian B.J. Penn turns its goals towards an old rival. The black belt stated that he wants to face the Canadian Georges St Pierre, owner of the welterweight belt and tormentor of Penn in two previous clashes.
“I definitely want to fight (St. Pierre) again. What kind of fight do they want to put on in Abu Dhabi (event that will take place on April 10th)? They want to see me against Frankie Edgar or a fight with Gray Maynard? Or they want to see me in a super fight at Aloha Stadium, and they think they can sell 40.000 tickets, pitting me against Gray Maynard, or they want me against a big name”, said BJ.
In the last duel between St Pierre and BJ, held at UFC-94 in January, the Canadian defeated Penn by technical knockout in the fourth round and frustrated the Hawaiian, who was trying to become the only athlete to dominate two weight categories at the same time in the UFC history.
