In a recent interview on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, Lentz revealed that he and Penn have had a beef with each other for some time now and further claimed that the latter also has terrorized Lentz and his wife on social media, as well.
In case you didn’t know…
Former two-division UFC Champion B.J. Penn has been on a losing streak since 2017 when he lost a one-sided fight to Featherweight prospect Yair Rodriguez in the main event of UFC Fight Night 103. At UFC Fight Night 112, Penn lost to Dennis Siver in what was his final fight in the Featherweight Division.
For Penn’s next fight, the former Lightweight Champion made his return to the 155-pound division and lost to Ryan Hall via submission. In his next bout, Penn once again suffered a loss, this time to Clay Guida.
The heart of the matter
While speaking to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Show, Nik Lentz said that former 155-pound champion B.J. Penn apparently has been sending direct messages to Lentz on Instagram and has been threatening him and his family for months now. (H/T: MMA Mania)
In addition to it, Lentz also stated that Penn even texted his wife every time Lentz didn’t respond to the latter’s messages.
What’s next?
As of right now, the UFC is yet to confirm an event for the upcoming fight between B.J. Penn and Nik Lentz.
