Penn is a UFC legend by definition

For a long time now, people have regarded BJ Penn as one of the greatest fighters in UFC history. In truth, they're not too far off at all as the guy has shown over and over throughout the course of his career that he is able to reinvent his game in ways that nobody had ever seen before.

So in short, he was one of the most loved champions in all of MMA.

The title win came at UFC 46 against Matt Hughes back in January 2004, however, the party wouldn't last all too long.

Onto a man that few would've heard of.
