Controversy continues to surround former UFC champion BJ Penn.
The Hawaiian legend has lost seven straight inside the Octagon, although it would be eight losses if one considers his recent bar fight. Unfortunately, the latest news is not positive, as Penn is suspected of driving drunk per BigIslandNow.
If there’s a silver lining, Penn was driving alone and did not hit anyone else. Per the report, Penn was speeding when he lost control of the vehicle and flipped it off the road. Due to new regulations, the police were unable to test Penn’s blood alcohol content (BAC) that night, as a search warrant is required.
Regardless, Penn was sent to the hospital, and doctors there did draw and test Penn’s blood for alcohol. Though the results are not yet available to the public, they were sent to the police.
Stay tuned to MMAmania for the latest updates regarding Penn’s case.
