BJ Penn discussed his hopes of having one more run at the UFC title while speaking at the UFC 137 media conference call this week. Whether it be the welterweight or lightweight title makes no difference to the fighter, but this weekend at UFC 137, Penn hopes to impress Dana White and earn his shot.
“I’d love to get another title before I step out of the game,” Penn said on the call.
“I’d love to get another, maybe win the welterweight title one more time. Maybe even, if possible, try to the lightweight title another time,” he said.
“I don’t’ want to speak too soon,“ said Penn when asked if he thinks he’ll get a title shot if he beats Diaz. “As far as everything goes, I’m just trying to take it one fight at a time. If Dana feels that I’m impressive in my next fight and he wants to grant me that opportunity, I’d be very gracious for the offer.
