The BJ Penn in Manila open work out and meet and greet,

Attended the BJ Penn live in Manila today at the Mall of Asia. I was supposed to be ringside but got pulled out to join a contest at the stage front and gave up my ringside spot. I didn't win but still got some good photos, please forgive me as I still need to improve on my camera work.

Here are a couple photos from the event.

I was a good event and it was great to see BJ Penn in the flesh. Too bad I was too far when he went to the crowd for photos and autographs but I'm still happy to have seen one of the legends of UFC and the MMA.

Hope you like the pictures.

BJ Penn in Manila Tomorrow!

Pinoy Fight Fans! "The Prodigy" BJ Penn will be in Manila tomorrow  November 30, 2011 at the Mall of Asia Music Hall in Pasay City.

Don't know what to expect but I'm guessing it will be a grand time.

Love him or hate him, BJ Penn is one of the most polarizing personalities in the UFC and in MMA. He is one of only two men to have held championships in two different weight classes (lightweight and welterweight) in the UFC, and is known to never back down from a fight, even against someone bigger (he as fought Lyoto Machida who is a light heavyweight).

Personally, I'm not that big a fan of BJ Penn, but I wouldn't miss a chance to get a glimpse of a Legend and future Hall of Famer in the sport of MMA.

See you there guys.
