About B.J. Penn:
Jay Dee "B.J." Penn (born December 13, 1978) http://www.bjpenn.com/bio/ is an American professional mixed martial artist and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. Penn debuted and competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), as well as in K-1. Prior to fighting for the UFC, he became the first American Gold medalist of the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship. In mixed martial arts, Penn has competed in the Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Middleweight and Heavyweight divisions. As a former UFC Lightweight Champion and UFC Welterweight Champion, he is only the second fighter in UFC history to win titles in multiple weight classes. Penn was also a Finalist in the UFC 41 Lightweight Tournament, due to an eventual draw against Caol Uno in the tournament finale. Through his tenures as champion, Penn broke the UFC's all-time lightweight title defenses record.
During his reign, Penn holds the distinction of being undefeated as a Lightweight for over eight years. He is famously known for his role in the resurgence of the lightweight division, in addition for being involved in several historic mixed martial arts bouts, most of which involved moving up in multiple weight classes. In early 2004, following his back-to-back submission victories over Takanori Gomi and Matt Hughes, Penn was simultaneously ranked number one in the two different divisions; lightweight and welterweight (the only fighter to hold that honor).
UFC President, Dana White credits Penn as the man who brought the lower weight divisions into the mainstream of mixed martial arts; claiming Penn to be "the first crossover pay-per-view star for the Ultimate Fighting Championship's lighter weight divisions", as well as that "[through his] accomplishments, B.J. Penn built the 155 pound division". Noted the greatest Lightweight combatant in mixed martial arts history, Penn's domination of the division, as well as his performances in higher weight classes have him regarded as one of the greatest fighters in the history of the sport.
About UFC:

Dana White serves as the president of the UFC while Brothers Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta control the UFC's parent company, Zuffa, LLC.
The first UFC event was held on November 12, 1993 in Denver, Colorado. The purpose of the event was to identify the most effective martial art in a real fight between competitors of different fighting disciplines, including Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Sambo, Wrestling, Muay Thai,Karate, Judo, and other styles. In subsequent competitions, fighters began adopting effective techniques from more than one discipline, which indirectly helped create an entirely separate style of fighting known as present-day mixed martial arts.
