BJ Penn – “I’m the guy that doesn’t want to let the sport pass me by. I want to stay at the forefront of this whole thing. … I believe if I had won that fight I would have changed nothing about my game.”
“I definitely think this (is the prime of my career). I’m 31. I have tons of experience. I’m not looking past Frankie, but I think I’m about to go on a run.”
“The loss to Frankie made me step back and realize I want to fight as much as I can. … I don’t know if my biological clock is ticking or what, but I want to fight as much as possible. I want to make a push to be a true fighter, and I think I could be very active.”
“There’s always much to accomplish anywhere. Even if you do clean out a division and go to welterweight, there’s going to be a new Frankie. There’s always going to be another one popping up.”
“I thought I was God’s gift to fighting. I thought I would go 100-0 with 100 knockouts. When I sit back and look at my record, I can’t believe I have six losses. It just blows me away.”
“No one is untouchable — and if they are, they just haven’t run into the right guy yet.”
