KUAM Sports caught up with the man himself, UFC Legend BJ Penn at a training session held at Custom Fitness. BJ says it's nice catching up with some old faces and the island reminds him of home. He said, "I love Guam and I have never seen a place more like Hilo in my life that's why I love this place so much. It's just like where I'm from and I'm just enjoying it.
"Guam has some of the toughest people in the world. I'm over here with Baby Joe and Melchor and everybody. We are just hanging out and sharing some techniques. Jiu-Jitsu has come a long way. Guam people are so tough and they would always battle with each other but it's just because they are so awesome and so strong . It's good to see everybody here and I can't wait to see all my old friends. I came up with all of these guys on Guam. I was fighting the same time they were.
"Right on man, just good to be here."
