Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 490 Points   |   Tied for 788th

Finally the long awaited return of lightweight legend and two weight class title holder bj! Penn will finally happen. This time last year we expected the prodigy to return at UFC 196 Velasquez vs werdum 2 but due to some contract issues the fight was scrapped (and not to long after that werdum Vs Velasquez 2 would be scrapped anyway and the card was turned into fight night: Hendricks vs Thompson).Then we expected the return to take place at UFC 199 facing Francisco Rivera but due to injury he was replaced by Bruce Leroy. Then bj Penn and Ricardo lamas branded themselves with an infamous fight card disaster when lamas dropped out of the bout, causing the UFC to cancel that card. Only the 3rd card in history to do that alongside other infamous cards UFC 151 Jones Vs Henderson and UFC 179 mendes vs aldo2. Now bj Penn has set out to rewrite the 2015 fiascoes with a gigantic upset win against yair Rodriguez.Since Penn hasn't had a positive fight experience since back to back KO over Matt Hughes and draw with Jon Fitch, it seems as if the return will be a waist of time but will he shock the world? Yair Rodriguez has been on a tear since his winning of the ultimate fighter. Showing us the most diverse set of skills we have seen in the UFC.Will the young lion throw Penn right back into retirement? We will see at UFC fight night Rodriguez vs Penn. What are your predictions for this highly anticipated main event.
