One of the best UFC fighters that's ever been in the business is coming out of a short retirement for another fight. The 37-year-old former fighter, B.J Penn, will be coming out of retirement to fight in UFC 199 against opponent Dennis Siver. B.J Penn hasn't fought in the octagon since July of 2014. Luckily for B.J Penn, Dennis Siver is also a 37-year-old and has not fought since last year, so his retirement time won't hurt his chances too much. This will be one of the more talked about UFC events as B.J Penn is a former superstar returning to add another win to his career record.

B.J Penn almost missed his opportunity to come back to fighting, because of the rape allegations he faced against his girlfriend during his retirement. The allegations delayed B.J to launch this anticipated fight between Siver. After the UFC looked at all of the available facts for the Penn case they decided there wasn't much evidence to stop him so they will let him fight Siver.

Penn is already a UFC hall of famer and paved the way for the sudden popularity of the sport. Penn is a legend in the UFC for his wins in multiple weight classes, he is one of two fighters to have ever done that. Penn is known to be the greatest lightweight fighter in UFC history. Penn retired after he had lost to Frankie Edgar in 2014, and has been waiting for the UFC to clear him for the Siver fight for the past few months now. The last time B.J fought, he lost at the featherweight class, and he will be looking for better luck, this time, around as he fights in the same class again.

The fight will be one of many in the highly anticipated UFC events, UFC 199. The main event of UFC 199 is the Rockhold vs Weidman fight, and it will be the second time these two will square off. UFC 199 will take place on June, 4 and it will be fought in Inglewood, California. There will definately be a large crowd to support this exciting night of fights. It's not every day that two 37-year-olds will fight in the octagon, and it will be really interesting to see an already hall of famer fight for his former glory. B.J Penn is still lucky to be fighting, however because he came very close to being convicted of sexual assault which is way too common for athletes nowadays. Allegations or not, B.J Penn always gave the audiences an exciting match to enjoy and there is no doubt in my mind that he will be successful in providing an exciting event for his returning fans. Fighting in the UFC is a very physically demanding sport and good luck to B.J Penn trying to do it at such an old age.
