The world must seem like a scary place to BJ Penn.
The former UFC two-division champion is convinced his dead family has been replaced by lookalike imposters and now he’s faced with “crazy identity thieves” who may or may not be trying to push him off the family property.
Penn is here to remind the crazies he paid to keep everyone “afloat” during hard times.
“I just wanted to address for everybody that people come up to me and tell me, ‘I know you feel entitled to all of these properties that your parents had and this and that, but you didn’t buy it, you didn’t build it.’ I just want to say right now, that’s all bullsh*t,” Penn said. “This whole time, I kept this family afloat for years from the financial crash in ‘08 all the way until today. These people are crazy identity thieves. Fighting, always having money, liquid cash. The UFC Gym is there right now paying the mortgage for the bowling alley. These people are crazy, I just had to remind you.”
Not surprisingly, fans in the comment section of his post are predicting a grim future.
“He’s going to kill somebody, you guys keep encouraging his delusions,” one concerned fan wrote. Another added, “Chris Benoit 2.0,” referencing the former WWE wrestler who blew a gasket and murdered his family before taking his own life back in June 2007.
Penn, now 46, has not competed since losing to Clay Guida at UFC 237 in May 2019. His loss to “The Carpenter” marked his eighth straight loss and sent “The Prodigy” into a downward spiral that included multiple altercations in the streets of Hawaii.
Don’t expect any help from UFC. After all, “it’s just part of the gig.”
