BJ Penn And Renzo Gracie Have A Heartwarming Reunion On Live Radio

Here’s a heartwarming video to get you through the day courtesy of ‘The MMA Hour’ radio show hosted by Ariel Helwani.

Helwani made an astute decision to manufacture an-air reunion between MMA legends BJ Penn and Renzo Gracie who once fought in Hawaii back in 2005.

The mutual respect between them is clearly evident, with BJ saying that if he could have a private lesson with anyone it would be with Renzo, while Gracie told him it was an honor to have fought him even though he lost, and urged the former UFC lightweight and welterweight champion to continue to compete despite his talk or retirement recently.
