5. BJ Penn
Since 2010 BJ Penn is 1W-5L-1D in the octagon, yet he’s still planning to come back for more!
Penn was broken by those two fights with Frankie Edgar back in 2010, lost his confidence, and has never looked like the BJ Penn of old since. Penn announced his retirement and un-retirement several times between 2012 and 2014.
Sometime in 2014 Penn must have gotten it in his head that a 3rd fight between he and Edgar (after a season of coaching opposite one another) might somehow go differently than the first two. He was correct only in that the 3rd fight actually went much worse for him than the first two did, and one of the most lopsided trilogies in UFC history ended with Frankie Edgar’s 3rd straight victory over BJ coming in the 3rd round via TKO.
Penn looked terrible in that last fight, yet he’s still trying to comeback again, only now he is serving a six month suspension for using an IV, which is now banned under the new USADA rules.
