BJ Penn wants quick return

Former UFC lightweight champion BJ Penn has admitted he is keen to get a fight ‘as soon as possible’.

Penn lost the lightweight belt to Frankie Edgar at UFC 112 and also lost the rematch at UFC 118.

“I have just been hanging out this last couple of days but I am gonna stick to what I said about being as active as I can be. I am gonna contact the UFC, get a fight as soon as possible. Luckily I didn’t get injured, I have got no injuries,” Penn says in a video blog posted to BJPenn.com

“I can still build on what I built up in the last camp, I didn’t go out or party or anything [after UFC 118], so I am gonna jump back into training tomorrow. A lot of people have been asking me about the camp, we are still figuring that whole thing out but before we figure that whole thing out I am going to jump in the gym already. So that’s it – starting tomorrow, back on track, going full blast.”
