Former two-division UFC champion B.J. Penn has always been one that marched to the beat of his own drum. “The Prodigy” was one of the few fighters that meant it when he said he’d fight anyone, anytime, anywhere and in any weight class.
He competed in weight classes that ranged from the 145-pound division to heavyweight. The Hawaiian is a living legend, but the 46 year-old has displayed some bizarre behavior that’s led to multiple recent arrests. Penn believes that his family has been murdered and replaced by imposters conspiring to steal his family assets.
Penn doesn’t only think his family has been replaced by imposters, he believes UFC fighters are using body doubles during weigh-ins. In an Instagram post, Penn questioned whether newly crowned women’s bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison was the same person that weighed in for her UFC 316 title bout against Julianna Pena.
“We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion,. The great task of life is finding reality! is what it is. The masked c🐈⬛nts don’t have to take a drug test or weigh in. What an advantage that is,” Penn wrote on the social media platform with photos of Harrison.

“Many of my opponents didn’t even lose a pound,” Penn captioned another photos of Harrison on the scales. “I am sure, GSP (Georges St-Pierre)? Khabib [Nurmagomedov]? [Islam] Makhachev never weighed in!”
On June 12, a Hawaiian judge ordered him to vacate the home he shares with his 79-year old mother, Lorraine Shin. The judge also extended a protective order against Penn brought by Shin until Nov. 23.
Penn once held the UFC lightweight and welterweight titles. He was inducted in the UFC Hall of Fame in 2015. He last fought in May 2019, losing to Clay Guida by unanimous decision.
