BJ Penn cemented his place in MMA history by crushing Joe Stevenson and capturing the UFC lightweight title last weekend in Newcastle, England. He joins Randy Couture as the only fighters to win world titles in two different weight classes. Much to our surprise, BJ was a huge favorite in England. The fans were chanting his name during and after the fight. It felt like home at one point and it was a great place to make history. Congrats to BJ and cheers to the fans of jolly old England.
