QUICK TWITT: BJ Penn Still Looking To Fight At UFC 137
“Dana just offered me a deal I can’t refuse. pretty sure I’m still fighting on Oct. 29th”
BJ Penn has posted via his Twitter account that the UFC has made him an offer for a new opponent, and one he just can’t turn down. With Condit now fighting for the title, Jon Fitch out with an injury, and the status of Diaz still unknown, who could the opponent be?

…Reagan Penn! Dana White knows a good fight when he sees it! BJ’s been pissed since they were kids that Reagan got the shiny new bike in 1989 and not him, so this is his way of getting back!!!! lol ……..
Everybody is in the “know” and got opinions…BJ (or the UFC) will tell us in due time…..can’t wait…
bj will prob fight diaz
War BJ!!!!! make your fans and da 808 proud!!!!!
Announce it already so I can buy my fight tickets.
EXACTLY!!! HAHAHAHA
Nick Diaz.
Wow, who is it gonna be! I’ve been searching high & low all over the net trying to figure this out! But I must say I did enjoy BJ’s tweet back to Fitch, freaken hilarious!!! Been an epic week of MMA news w/ all these shocking revelations!!! LOL
I missed BJ’s tweet to Fitch. What did it say?
@jonfitchdotnet if you’re not ready to fight shut your $@&%ING mouth! Dana said you’re not cleared till December quit wasting everybody’s time.
Classic BJ! No one wants to see that fight anyways.
It’s going to be Rory MacDonald, I mean.. who else?
Rory is already booked to fight Brian Ebersole at UFC 140
brennamen jus beat him? why not brennamen?
mcdonald is fighting brian ebersole in december, sanchez is out with broken hand and koscheck is in with matt hughes, fitch is “out injured” lytle is retire and hardy is back to preliminary cards. I dont know. Interesting.
all the options above would be a major let down if they were announced. dana said that he would say omfg so it has to be huge. maybe BJ can do what GSP is too scared to do and fight anderson. theres a bit of a size difference but BJ has the balls
Dana just gave BJ a huge pay day.
who is it tell us already
damn ive been excited about going to see Bj fight for a long time. i really dont care who he fights anymore. I just want to see the Prodigy beat the crap of someone =)
Fedor.
BJ vs Machida 2
he’s giving BJ Diaz and a ton of money to knock or choke DIaz out
War BJ vs Machida rematch
BJ Penn vs Gilbert Melendez for a lightweight #1 contender fight im 99% sure this is whats happening
gil melendez is already booked against masvidal.
Gilbert already said it’s not him. So I’m 100% sure you’re wrong.
Royce Gracie
agreed.
hell yea bj aint fighting fitch!!! something xcting!! , announce it already!!! cant wait , especially if bj said he cant resist!!!
gilbert melendez is facing jorge masvidal though. i really wanna know whats got bj so excited
Jake Shields
Shields vs Ellenberger. Not gonna happen
for the love of GODDDDDD, please just tell us who!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please let it be Shields! I want to see a pissed-off BJ massacre him. He deserves it. But I believe Diaz deserves a beating worse than Shields does
fitch is boring but jake shields isnt much better either, hes boring as well. rather see bj fight rumble johnson or someone who actually likes to bang.
he doenst like too bang he likes to wrestle now MMAislandjunkie look what johnson did to hardy
he did that to hardy becuz hardy is a punk bitchh w no tdd at all n no threat off his back. rumble is an exciting fighter but anyone who could manhandle a sissy brit would do just that.
The last time I recall BJ saying something like that, was when they offered him Matt Hughes for the rubber match. So I’m speculating it has to be some kind of significant fight to intrigues BJ to react that way! I mean if BJ likes the offer Dana presented him, it has to be good!
probably is jake shields since jake been callin bj out for years.
LIsten to what BJ is sayin Dana offered him a “deal” he can’t refuse. Something like if you win your next fight you get another title shot. Now that is an offer BJ can’t refuse
Jake Shields
Nate Marquardt haha
nick diaz
Diaz
penn vs Alves would be epic
Melendez is supposed too face Masvidal in December he would drop that fight in a heartbeat too face BJ
Hopefully its not a filler fight, I really want to see BJ get the title shot, that is on the level he’s on. I don’t want BJ just scrapping to scrap if it isn’t on the road to the belt. I don’t care if its BJ vs Royce Gracie, a classic epic battle! That is not on the road to the belt. We won’t settle for anything less Dana……PENN NATION!!!!!!!!
WAR BJ!
just tell us its gonna be nick diaz.. enough of the waiting… that would be a great fight
We already know. It’s Gilbert Melendez.
any aslong as its not John Fitch… I never wanna see that guy fight again!
Melendez seems to think it’s Diaz… Not really too many other guys available. It’s not fitch, not shields, not gonna be a “lesser” name, and Alves wouldn’t have BJ this excited….Koscheck could get taken out of his bout with Hughes conceivably or BJ could be moving up to 185 for the hell of it. Im still leaning towards Diaz at this point. UFC 137 – The switcharoo … Royce Gracie retirement fight would make sense too.
Chris Lytle!
would of been all time to see BJ fight GSP again! that’s alright Hawaiian you’ll get your shot and the belt again soon!
it probaby nick diaz
if he were to fight gilbert bj would have to move down in weight on short notice or gilbert would have to not cut much..lol…. but im still gonna go with Diaz.. but i think those are really the only other options
Gilbert Melendez.
It’s going to be Jake shields he is already booked for a free fight I don’t remember when or with what opponent but it was hard to believe they were going to out Jake on a free show but they are doing it with cane and dos santos so I could be wrong
It’s gonna be Nick Diaz!!!!
My guess…. Royce
that fight would suck. too easy
BJ vs Melvin Guillard at lightweight. You heard it here 1st.
geeeezzz!!!!!!!! im telling you its Nick…stop with the guessing already…lol
As long as it aint that boring ass Fitch. IMO i don’t even think anyone wants to see Fitch on the pre-lims. Fitch’s entire career or ranking is based on beating Alves twice who everyone knows has no ground game. oh wait i forgot Fitch beat Ben Saunders in an EPIC snoozefest (where is he now). Just compare what other WW’ts have done in the last few years and Fitch’s record doesn’t look good at all. I just wish Fitch would quit telling everyone that he has cleaned out the WW division. until Fitch fights Condit, Koscheck, sheilds, Ellenburger, Kampmann, Rory Mcdonald, Story, Rumble johnson, Johny Hendricks he’s far far from having cleaned out the UFC WW division
sammy… bj is focussed on fighting ww right now.. lw maybe in the future..
The problem is that all the good guys at 170 are not available. It cant be jake sheilds, john fitch, if they givehim thiago alves and BJ beats him what is that mean at this point becuase thiago has not been winning. If he has to cut down and fight at 155 that might thow off his whole camp. We will find out soon enough but the condit fight was the best fight. Nick Diaz is ****ed in the head and ****ed everything up.
did you watch Dana at the press conference. He wouldn’t risk putting Diaz in there and him not showing or being more goofy. He also wouldn’t disrespect a legend like BJ, after he just embarrassed a legend in GSP by signing him up to fight the dumb ass Diaz circus.
PS
I’m a huge , sorry WAS , Diaz fan.
i bet the conversation went something like this..
Dana: bj, im sure you heard by now Diaz pull some of his normal stupid shit and i had to pull him from the fight with gsp and now gsp is fighting condit.
BJ: ok
Dana: so im offering you Diaz, and the winner gets the shot next
danawhite Dana White
This is crazy but here we go again! You wanted it so you got it. Penn vs Diaz Oct 27th in Vegas………….. haha………… I told you…
totally bummed about Diaz vs Penn not bummed he is going to horribly beat Diaz just bummed because I dont think he deserves to fight in the UFC or does he deserve a fighter of Penns calibur he should be on an under card or on no card at all
penn vs marquardt???
i disagree sarah… he does deserve to be in the ufc.. remember this is a sport, not a popularity contest.. I understand he didnt play the game, as Dana put it but he is a great fighter and big draw for the “die hard” fans of the sport… love him or hate him he is a great fighter and did deserve a shot at the belt.. but he screwed that up, but i bet he wont again.. get him BJ… welcome him back to the ufc
someones gonna die hard on oct 29 and its gonna be the overrated nick diaz. finally gonna see this punk get beat the ****k up like he deserves to be beat up. hope bj calls out the 209 pussiess after he smashes this clown.
ben henderson! please!
the more i think about it and read the above suggestions the only one who is avalible, willing to fight and bj will get excited over will be royce gracie. granted i think bj will murder royce as matt hughs did i think this fight fits the bill.
ok everybody..its been made official bj vs nick diaz oct. 29th… you can quit guessing or suggesting… lol….seriously!!!!!!
BJ Vs Nick Diaz is official!!!!!!!! UFC 137 Here I come!!!!
No. 1 contender fight NO MATTER WHAT! PENN NATION!!!!!!!!

MMAJunkie.com has confirmed Nick Diaz vs. BJ Penn!!!! WAR PENN! I’ve wanted to see this fight for a long time.
I just read on Addictedmma.com that it’s going to be Nick Diaz…
BJ PENN VS NICK DIAZ, its happening!
penn is going to get wrecked!!!!
care to wager an Avatar for a month?
Screw that 100 bucks says Penn puts a whoopin on Nick.
of course your just a random..so not expecting to get no response from a random.
ILL TAKE THE BET!!!! DIAZ WRECKS YOUR BOYFRIEND PENN!!
ok bud where will you be post fight time? Not here I guarantee it…your not a trusted member.
i dont care if im not a trusted member or not.. i will be here. what do i have to scared of??? paying up ha. not going to happen. BJ will gas after round 1 when he gets peppered with about 80 punches to the face and baby

lmao bleacher report is the carlos mencia of mma news sites
BJ PENN VS DIAZ CONFIRMED!!!!

like he did to matt hughe
AS CO-MAIN EVENT!!
CANT WAIT!!! BUYING MY TICKETS TOMORROW!!!!
GREETINGS TO ALL PENN NATION!!!
idk who it would be in WW he might drop down to LW if the fight was worth it
its diaz
Dana just tweeted it’s Nick Diaz!!!
YEAH, I KNEW IT, A #1 CONTENDER BOUT FOR BJ, HELL YEAHHH, I BLEW UP DANA’S TWITTER FOR THIS, YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!! WARRRRR BJ!!!!!! PENN NATIONI!!!!!!!!
Wow.. two of my favorite fighters… gotta go with BJ on this on… gonna be tough though, nicks a cardio machine…
Get ‘im BJ!
Can’t belive BJ’s own website is the last to report his fight will be with Nick Diaz, no surprise there it only makes sense. thank god its not boring ass fitch
Jake Shields or Melandaz is the only people I would like to see
Sounds like Dana offered BJ some incentives for taking this fight…a win vs Diaz + another win against Fitch or Shields/Ellenberger = Penn vs GSP III. Only thing i can think of since that fight was probably never going to happen and BJ knew it. Now all of us PENN NATION can only wait and cheer on our hero. Go get em BRADDAH!!!
Bj beating Diaz up will get Bj ready for Gsp or Condit.. Warrrrrr Bj!
I wonder how this is going to go. BJ and Nick trained together at Cesar Gracie’s academy and have a lot of respect for each other. On the other hand, Condit and GSP are training partners and I can see the two just being cautious the entire time because they know each other’s game so well.
It’s funny because out of the four, BJ, GSP, Nick and Condit, the champ is the least exciting.
I think its alittle unfair to call gsp boring u can only be as entertaining as your opponent lets u i thought when guys got the balls to try and actually take the fight to him, penn TWICE hughes TWICE fitch and alves those WINS were absolute classics lately people have been petrified to get aggressive against him and are waiting for a mistake that aint gonna happen i happen to think condit will also be tentative so heres hoping bj hits diaz so hard it reverses his retardation and brings excitement back to the ww title picture
i love nick diaz but bj penn is the reason why i start watching ufc..WAR BJ!!!! knock him out!!
