Watch Rodriguez vs Penn Online without Cable

Fans were treated to a dazzling session of open workouts ahead of Sunday’s UFC Fight Night Phoenix. Four additional preliminary card bouts follow at 8 p.m. on Fox Sports 1. Rodriguez is a fast fighter that has explosive strikes and loves to attack from various angles. “It’s time to come back and fix what I can”.

Penn, a former UFC lightweight and welterweight champion hadn’t fought since suffering a one-sided TKO loss to Frankie Edgar in July 2014.

And Sunday, he’ll face an up-and-coming star in Rodriguez (9-1), who professes to have little respect for the two-time former UFC champion. All … studs … he ain’t losing to [bad] fighters. And just like that, reality returned. He has shown this technique in many of his fights, where he goes for a rolling axe kick and then when he misses he grabs the leg and goes for a leg lock. We’re going to find out. “He’s still BJ Penn”.

The post-NFL Christmas Eve replay showing of Hawaiian Max Holloway’s victory over Anthony Pettis drew 4.7 million viewers, more than NBC’s “It’s a Wonderful Life”.

BJ Penn is known as one of the best fighters of all time, known for his fearless spirit and overall well-roundedness.

He wasn’t driven by sentimental reasons connected to his return.

Although the finish came in the second round, the fight was essentially over in the first. Even if he ever did get the urge to comeback again after this, you can’t imagine that Dana White would allow it. Penn has got old, the game has evolved, and Rodriguez is part of an exciting new breed of MMA talent rising up through the ranks in style. “I thought this was the normal course of life”. “It was a fight that the UFC offered me, and I accepted it”. Siver was replaced by Cole Miller, but Penn then removed himself from the card just a couple weeks before the fight.

To all that, Penn says, bring it on. “Go win fights yourself, Bozo!” Penn had cardio issues in the past, but it’s hard to gauge if that will still be the case with him. BJ Penn comes into this fight off a two-and-a-half year retirement and has not had his hand raised in a fight in almost seven years. If the younger fighter can maintain a calm presence during the fight, he may be able to score on Penn without taking too much of a risk. “I don’t know, but I know how to fix it. Easy”. His name is BJ Penn.

Since weve now entered a world where the possibility of a boxing match between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather is a reasonable thing to talk about, lets just get this out of the way. “Whatever the UFC wants me to do next, I’ll be ready for it”.
