Midnight Mania: Penn Blames ‘Sabotage Squad’ For Alleged Domestic Abuse Case

Lawler v Barberena

Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight!

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

If the post above doesn’t make a lot of sense upon first glance, you’re not alone.

BJ Penn, a two-division champion and one of the most decorated UFC fighters in history, has been no stranger to controversy since retiring back in 2019. There have been multiple bar fights and an ill-fated political campaign for Hawaiian governor, as well as accusations of sexual assault and violence from the mother of his children.

Sadly, the issues are continuing for “The Prodigy.” A recent report revealed Penn is currently facing a lawsuit for domestic abuse, as well as a restraining order from one or more unnamed parties.

In this context, Penn’s post can be better understood. Penn seems to be saying that his accuser was bribed to file the temporary restraining order by some sort of “sabotage squad” of Penn enemies with the goal of destroying his reputation. Per Penn, the sabotage squad believed he “would start some fake Hawaiian revolution so they started attacking me for no reason.”

I’m not a lawyer, but the repeated statement of “I love confrontation” doesn’t appear likely to help his case. The image above indicates a November update to both cases, so hopefully more information will come to light sooner than later.

Happy Halloween!

Slips, rips, and KO clips

I don’t think it happens to Khamzat, but it’s only appropriate that Dricus Du Plessis’ guillotine is hilarious.

PRIDE Wanderlei Silva was a different animal.

Shouldn’t the guy rolling solo be way bigger or way better at fighting than the duo? Execution indeed.

I definitely posted the original fish picture once, but the additional pics are worth a revisit.
