BJ Penn hinting at Florian Matchup at UFC 100

15 February 2009 Comments

BJ Penn looks like he is going to keep fighting.  Stating in the Honalulu Advertiser

“I was sad after that loss and a lot of things were going through my head. But I woke up one day and said, ‘You know what? I’m still the lightweight champ. Let’s keep fighting.’ … That will probably be this summer, so that’s my focus now…. After I defend my belt and he defends his belt, I’d love to do it again. Mostly because of the controversy. I just want it to be clean — no questions, no controversy.”

BJ obviously still wants a shot at Georges, but his current focus is Florian.  He’ll need to ensure he has some cardio cause Florian danced a five round dance with Sean Sherk back in 2007 and he looks hungry for his title shot.

UFC 100 can’t come soon enough and let’s hope its Kenny Florian versus BJ Penn for the Lightweight Title on July 11th from the Mandalay Events Center in Las Vegas Nevada.
