Although UFC President Dana White has pressed hard for the fighter’s retirement, B.J. Penn apparently is looking for another fight, and it’d likely come at lightweight. “UFC Tonight,” the UFC’s weekly news program on FUEL TV, reported the possibility on Tuesday. Penn (16-9-2 MMA, 12-8-2 UFC), a former lightweight and welterweight champion in the UFC, hasn’t fought since a bloody UFC on FOX 5 loss to 170-pound contender Rory MacDonald in December. The defeat moved the 34-year-old “Prodigy” to just 1-4-1 in his past six fights. Before the defeat, the future hall of famer was on a 5-1 run that included a successful stint as the organization’s 155-pound champion
